Smoke me a kipper!

"Attacking"? Really?

Well, I'm not american but... Happy Thanksgiving I suppose! You all have fun doing whatever it is you do!

Yes, I'm sure they'll try that again, LOL. Apparently Cartel Coins wasn't a "thoughtful" enough gift last time they offered it as a subscriber appreciation. Personally I couldn't care less about not getting any subscription perks or gifts or whatever this time around. We've gotten a few already this year and will most likely get more in the future. Instead of feeling face-slapped I'm hopeful more people will join in on the fun because of the bonus for new- and re-subscribers

Did you just tell me I shouldn't let people like the OP tell me what to do?

Well if I get it right you don't "need" to spend cc on anything if you have a little patience. You recieve the currency for unlocking ships by doing space combat, but at a slower rate. And the only way it'd provide an advantage would be if the player doing the currency conversion is skilled with the type of ship he unlocks. You can be just as competitive with the ships unlocked by default.

Sweet, sounds very promising then! And to me a great deal of the attraction from this type of fighter comes from the trade-off, that you have to sacrifice hull and firepower for speed and maneuverability. Keeps you on your toes! Looking forward to it!

Alright mate, thanks! Anyone flew scouts and had fun with them? I have a thing for small, fast and nimble fighters so I'd love a comment or two about 'em in action

Quick question for those with hands-on experience, probably a stupid one: Did I get it right that even though you have some ship models unlocked by default and some unlockable with fleet requisition, they are all viable options to fly and be competitive in, depending on your playstyle? For example, the Republic scout NovaDive is just as viable as the unlockable Flashfire if the playstyle suits you? The NovaDive can't be considered a starting ship that you will "outgrow", right?

Okay, that's cool. Later and have fun in SC!

It's a free expansion, so no need to pre-order or pre-purchase anything And there's a list of things you get as a subscriber at the GS section of this webpage, including early access.

Sure looks fun! Great for us competetive flight combat PvPers!

And again, from my experience, I disagree. But whatever. It's fine mate. Not everyone has to like it. Maybe not many will. Maybe most people will. What do I know? What do you know? Sorry it was not to your liking... Looks like tons of fun to me. Anyways - Wall of crazy. Old phrase. Obviously dev silliness. Not insulted by it. Carry on.

Eh... I'm gonna disagree with that actually. I mean X vs T is a very popular game and I don't argue a lot of people didn't want that (way more than JTL atleast ) but I was very active in the pre-launch space discussions and there were definitely not a small amount of requests for BF2/warzone style space. Looks like BioWare thought it was a better fit for their game aswell, so as I've said, I'm not surprised they did GS like they did. Whether it's better, worse or just as good as BF2... Well... Have you played it?
