MasterAtin Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 So I've noticed when I play Flashfire, I absolutely slap enemies of varying skill. Higher accuracy, faster kill rate, more damage, etc. Sting on the other hand, with all the same components and crew, my performance drops. Decreased accuracy, fewer kills, less damage. Someone mentioned the deselect bug? In the hanger bay for components. That wasn't the case. I also feel like the Flashfire is better optimized. I seem to see more blaster bolts when I fire. Usually 5-6, while with the Sting I only ever see 2. Sometimes none at all which bugs me. Secondly, when you hit your target, the damage done float text appears next to the enemy. I see it frequently when I use Flashfire, but maybe 1/2 hits on Sting. I got 3 kills as a flashfire in less than 10 seconds. With the Sting, it took me twice as long to kill a straight flying NPC bomber with Targeting Telemetry/Burst with concentrated fire. Anyone else experiencing this?

catsi Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Honestly, they're both the exact same. I fly starguard/rycer regularly and my stats across both are pretty consistent id say your most likely culprit is matchmaking. when youre on your SS you probably got some better matches and when on your sting you got teamates who were basically potatoes and matched against a team capable of doing damage Edited January 6, 2023 by catsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikovUmSar Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 My stats are pretty much the same, I checked 8 chars, 4 republic, 4 imperial. The best stats are also on Imperial character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakhathKilrathi Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) Like I told you when you asked this in chat, they're the same ship and they perform identically. You can check your stats yourself, but here are mine from a couple of alts: https://i.imgur.com/0jB53XL.png vs https://i.imgur.com/oFPJDv4.png Comparable stats overall, but the Sting actually has marginally better numbers. There's no difference. It's the same ship. Edited January 6, 2023 by DakhathKilrathi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no difference. It's the same ship. Apologies, let me clarify myself to avoid any miscommunications. I'm not declaring there are actual differences in regards to performance and stats, I only mentioned the fact that my experiences told a different story and I wanted to see if anyone had any similar experiences. It's not looking like it at all, therefore, I'm the only one and there aren't any concerns or actual issues. Which would suggest the only problem is on my end. And I'll reiterate that I am not disagreeing that they are the same ship. I will however clarify on my optimization claim regarding the blaster bolts. I'm speaking strictly on the animation, not the actual damage stats. I know that regardless of how many bolts appear after each firing, the damage will be the same. I will however stand by my saying that I see more blaster bolts on Flashfire than I do the Sting. Again, not an issue in regards to any stats that matter, just something that made me wonder if Flashfire received more tlc than the Sting did. Also, I like your hyperlink at the bottom.

And yeah, there is an animation difference but it doesn't actually change anything in game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
