Zorvan Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I miss my B-wing and Greivis...... I miss my YT-1300 and TIE fighter in SWG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deewe Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think its safe to say that space combat isnt what any of us expected, not when a game like X-wing vs TIE Fighter was better and was made like 1989... Nearly 23 years ago with slower internet links and much less powerful PC, we had a better, multiplayer, 3D, free roaming space sim with a great UI and flight dynamics.

This game isn't a flight sim. Just in case you didn't get the memo, the space combat in this game is an OPTIONAL side mini game. It was never intended to be a core option. Get. Over. It.

Verikon Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I have thoroughly enjoyed the space combat in Star Wars: TOR. It gives a vintage feel, good experience and a solid credit boost for little risk. By risk I mean, crafting missions can fail, you can pay for repairs from dying/fighting in missions and you replace items on your person over your ship about 5x as often if not more. It's an excellent supplemental to any player willing to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ideologue Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I love the space missions. A good idea for dailies. I would like to see it expanded. More missions at the least, a non-rail oriented system at the best. Still, upgrading my BH's ship and working for those special addons like EMP's, Power convertors, and torpedos was a big part of my motivation during my first trip to 50. When I was getting near 50 I even splurged for the purple, player crafted ship upgrades. I am still incredibly happy with those purchases. I just wish they would let me destroy the Republic vessels I cripple. Sure, I have destroyed my fair share of fighters and bombers, but the big destroyers and battleships I can only cripple. Even after I have destroyed their engines, shield generators, and every turrent on their hull, they still fly around in their smoking, flaming heap. Let me just put them out of their misery with a well aimed torpedo plz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaintedSquirrel Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I did the space dailies all the way up to 40 with no upgrades. Me = pro pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mijr Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I have really enjoyed them but I think there can be so much more. I've been playing shooter games on PC since the late 90's so it's pretty easy for me to complete the missions. I'd like to see something added in such as a server scoreboard for each mission so you can set higher goals than just winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jswizzle Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yeah I do a lot of space missions. There is a lot more they can do with it, so I feel it's a great foundation. Can't wait to see it get better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivedoir Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I'm terrible at this type of game. I needed like 4 tries to complete the first mission, so it wasn't very exp/time efficient. If I max upgrade my ship, can I make them trivial? I'm only interested in the extra exp, and I don't have credit shortage for upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tahana Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I did the space dailies all the way up to 40 with no upgrades. Me = pro pilot. Shenanigans. There is stuff that you have to use missiles to take out because your lasers are to week (even with the tier 1 upgrades) before they are out of your sights to be able to shoot. Unless you only did the Fondor Escort Mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you only did the Fondor Escort Mission. Missiles aren't ever really required for most things... In fact, most of the stuff you're using missiles on can be blown up with regular blasters. And your stock ship has 20 missiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannoth Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 They're a fun mini-game diversion, and they're a great way to fill in missing levels while leveling. I do hope they add more missions, create progression at 50, and add some more depth to it. I do want to see them get better, but I expect it to be treated as a diversionary side-game, like it is.

Centra Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yes, I play them. I like them exactly as they are. If they changed them I probably wouldn't play them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshalleck Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I like them. I don't do them every day. Usually when I have a few minutes to kill like while I'm eating a bowl of cereal before work I'll launch a few. They're a great way to finish off a level between planets. The fact that I don't rely on them as a major portion of my gameplay experience is probably why I like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palathas Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I pretty much view these as a nice diversion every now and then. Besides, I sometimes get down to no cash so I need them to get me money. Like at the moment my lvl 41 JK is on about 8K credits but needs another 202K credits to get Speeder (rank 2) training.

Krelan Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I like them more than I thought I would. They're a really nice, fun diversion from questing, and the EXP & cash gained from them is pretty nice as well. The only ones I avoid are the escort missions. Those things suck.

JHoltJHolt Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Lol, this dudes thread totally backfired on him. I love the space missions, want to see more, Awsome BW. If you don't like them, don't play them. And don't try and ruin other people's fun because you suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kunra Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Oh why Bioware? This game is good, but the space missions ruin everything, they're so horrible, this game didn't need that. I tried the first one you get, failed. Havent touched Space Combat other then that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaintedSquirrel Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I don't want to call anyone "bad" but if you fail a space mission then you need to re-evaluate your skills as a gamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromiie Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I do them for the credits and badges. I really want my imperial pilot outfit! I also was given all the purple ship upgrades by a friend so everything is just soooooo damn easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
