Its awful, just plain awful. There is no immersion in it. The sounds are bad, the controls are bad, the entire system is bad. Camera angle, far too close the ship. Space key for boost, when nearly every game that has a 'boost/sprint' function has it as shift. Zero real skill involved, all RNG. What the hell is with '20% evasion chance' in space combat?! Space combat is about skill. If i aim right, i want to know 100% that I actually hit my target. There is no physics at all. You can go from boosting to zero speed instantly. Aiming reticule being able to move out of the main big reticule is a bad idea. Along with being unable to change the colour of it, im often unable to even find where the reticule is in the first place with all the over the top explosions and space debris. Minimap is useless unless i have my face 5cm from the screen. Cant tell whats what. Have no real indication where im being shot from, or being shot at, except for the small red marker that comes up. Teaches people nothing at all about how to play their class, so it really makes the whole thing pointless. I dont wanna get into a FP or even god forbid, and operation with someone thats leveled purely in space pvp. Also, what the hell is with people doing 50k damage, at 40-50% accuracy, constantly getting 20+ kills and zero deaths...

Are the mines during his PBAoE intentional aswell? You cant run in there to cleanse it without being killed by him..

Mines everywhere. During his knockup and instantkill, during his laser phase... Can you get this guy right once, bioware? :/

Bumping.

:'( /5chars

Its not cool, just stop. Most tanks that i find in pugs these days are endurance stacked sins or juggs with 10% defense and 40k health :/ Why do people think that this is good..

And the all sound the exact same..

Where can i find a list of the BiS mods and enhancements for operative healing? Ive got mostly 78's, now i just need to properly optimise it.. Wouldnt even know where to begin looking!

Tonight we had that bug, along with at 35% he just instantly lasered the entire group, without jumping or warning. Killed everyone. Thanks bioware.

Looking at augments now... I only just realised how tiny a difference there is between the blue one and the purple one. 2 power, 4 defense difference. Sure, it adds up to 40 defense, but at levels where its relevant thats really nothing :/ Edit: was just thinking about this properly. From the blue augments, i got around 0.30% defense extra, and they have 28 defense. So an extra 4 defense would only give me 0.05 - 0.07, if that.. And yet it costs 90,000 credits more on my server :/ How is that good value for money? Even if you augmented all of your things in purple, you'd only get about +0.75-80% defense, which isnt even 1/100 attacks you'll defend successfully against.

wow, yeah. those two implants and earpiece upped my budget by 200... i lost 1500hp, but damn. I didnt think it'd make such a difference!

On the side of implants, ive got both arkranian war leader ones (the ones without accuracy ) Yeah, im farming HM's right now to get more elite comms, along with 69 gear. Also augments, i know they're important, but i figure i'd not do them till i get 72 at least. They're so damn expensive. like 230k total (100 for the augment kit, 100 for the agument and 30 to upgrade the armour) for something that ill probably replace first raid i tank.

I get it now. I'm currently at a budget of 1595, rounded upto 1600. I have 188 more absorb than i should, 63 more shield chance, and missing 257 defense. So if i were to be rich enough to change my mods around, i'd be able to get 251 extra points in defense. If only i could afford it But at least now i understand! Edit: Noticed a few pieces of my gear have pretty high accuracy too. I hate that So i gotta somehow buy 69 mods that can fix that...

Silly question, but how do you work out your total budget? Other than that, thanks alot for explaining it. Should make it alot easier!

Are shield and absorb capped at any point? Is there a certain % i should reach and then swap to the other? Thanks for the basic english
