That would be awsome . Ill talk to the guys from black squadron and see what i can do about getting a team togther most of us can play there and have toons allrdy to go . Need to know what time to tell them

Sound good I have to redownload test server again .I ended up getting the patch bug today and had to completely restore my system to a earlier point and reinstall swtor . Which was crazy

Only Reason for not having stuff and junk and space debris on a battle field. Is for scouts and gunships to have clean fire path. scous evade everything in sight blaster wise and break every missile lock attempt out there. Give other ships such as the slower strike's a chance other wise you might aswell remove them from the game. I play all the ship types out right now and you got (long range better have prema boost or a drone and mine or your dead aka the strike fighter's). everyone can say what they want and how out there fine but we all know the missile based strike need shorter lock on time's. Heck even the supposedly slow firing rail guns can fire every 1 seconds and scout's out chase out damage and blow everything up a gun sip does not. Give the Pike and Quell a reason to be flown to make them as powerfull in there givin field of expertise.Right now it is not there. Debris only make it even worse so they need a abilty like blaster over charge that over charge's missile lock timer, once evey 60 secs. I know that is a bit off topic too but debrie is really what the strike's have going for them to get a break to recharge engine's and shield's don't take it away or just remove every ship type out and make them all gunship's. That's what were heading towards anyways gunship's and bomber's

OK I have check the customer service area and I have tried running fix launcher and a few other things and now it is stuck at the innital starting saying installing but no progress or anything eles have been waiting 20 mins on any kind of movement and nothing anyone have any ideads

If you do iced holler at us we could jump over with you are try to get a game going

Is the patcher down atm have been looking on the boards for maintince schedule but haven't found anything and im stuck at 97.94% complete ofa small patch

that is a fact as th op said you get a big target

honesty there is not much any one can do other then try to take it easy on the new pilots and fresh ships. My guild has even went so far as to try to call everyone in the match's over to 1 control point or stay in the middle of a death match but there is not a lot you can do about pugs in a match and most the times it is the pugs and newbies on a team of vets thatmakes it worse because the vets will eventully pull off and back to the point or stay centrally located close to team for support you get more req from fending and to behone the amount that differs from and win and a loss is not that great maybe 100-200 req and over the coarse of a ships time to master it isn't that big of a deal you get more req from attacking and defending a point so if your in a dom match up and on new ships and being owned if you see 6-8 ships at one point that means they are giving you theother two don't go over there expecting to kill some one 1 on 6 go cap the sat that they laid out for you to gain req on by caping and defending new players have to use some sense too not just the vets so it al cant be blamed on vets we where new once too you know and got killed a lot I got around 4000 deaths how many you new players got a 100-400 also have over 2000 matches played with well over 1200 wins now it takes time

You have to find a play style that fits you as far as a ship goes. IF you track fast and like to hit hard go with the sting/flash. You want a all around ship that is ok go with a strike. if you want stand offish till you figure it out ship go with a gun ship for the range. If you want easy to fly tank style go with the legion/warcarrier allways use your power shift to adjust power to where you want it when firing laser's shift power to weps . when being attacked power to shields. when boosting power to engines. your crew set up controls a lot of your smaller details which make drastic changes in your ships performance. read read read everything closely and ask question to experienced pilots not other newbies. as far as load out for ship components and load outs it is depend on what you are flying, how you fly and what you want to do with it. take time to fly off some where on the map into a corner and practice a maneuver .Instead of being cannon fodder. The absolute number one rule is to try to have fun and be inventive in your flying style and attack pattern's Heavy laser's if oru ship can equip them and allways use armor penetration on every wepon you can put it on in upgrades. Burst or quads on fash/sting Ion aoe rail gun and slug on gunship ion/heavy's on the standard strike's and rest is usually up for debate

LOL SUICIDE go ahead and suicide and for the poster who says deny them req you get the req regard less if they are killed or cide.All that does is stop the kb count but it doesn't stop it for long if they have to use a method like that to stop some one fom killin them. Blowing up due to lag or a misjudged barrel or retro or something like that is one thing.Plain out right suicideing is just a joke and only hurts there team they may have had a wing man behind them kill the guy attacing them at the last second and bam therewould have been a point to the good. and not to the bad. if you going to suicide just exit the battle ad don't cost your team the game because of cowardly behavior. we can win with out you suicideing but don't hurt your side even more then it allrdy is.

All I can say is to find some people who play gsf aswell. Start a group a good 4 man group can overcome a lot of the newies out there that have no idea . I know that isn't the answer a lot of people want to hear but as a person who plays both side and loves all gsf imp and yes my pub. The best thing you could do is fly with a squad that is what it is desgined around . Not all players are kb getters some of us run stuff like wing man buff and the evade buff and other stuff. Way to many people are building ships to b killers but seem to forget this is a team sport. A squad with balanced ships to support each other goes farther then every one in a gunship or a bomber and all runin crit builds or single person evade build . It is team work that wins these matchs and cap cap cap and defend with your bombers to the point of the die I run back I die I run back don't give up. @ people distract wile other's fast cap . It all comes down to team work not nesacerily what anyone person is doing wrong . It is hard I know it is. I started out in gsf by myself and I met 1 person we started playing together regularly.Then we met another person named larica and then andragaurd and next thing you know we had a squad. Then we had a guild of like minded people to fly with and talk to and work out builds and timing of abiltys just like pve rotation of your styles and spells. we where beaten so many imes early on no doubt about it we had a lot of loss's. Eventually we got better as a whole and it showed and we started wining 50% of the time even aginst very and I do mean very good impire pilots shout out to toe and kegger and all the member's that made up death squadron. so with a lot of deaths and a lot of practice we are now the force that death squadron has become . It all goes back to team work though and it's the same for al good gsf guild's and squads out there. yea we get harassed in gen chat for trying to talk to people about gsf some times. but in order for you to get better. You have to be with like minded and to be honest people who are intristed in what you are. Flying solo is ok and some maybe great at it or better then others in gsf guild's. At the end of the day the match is about a win and to have fun and enjoy it. So I say to answer your question what are you doing wrong the answer is simple find a squad or make one.

yea id defintly like to try the imp versions out too but e will have to do like what we did last night and al be on the same side to do it lol. It like trying to shoot with spit ball's for blaster's lol with those babys

If your having a hard time getting your laseser on something accuracy wise try out heavy lasers on a strike they have the best range and acc. They are also very new pilot friendly till u you get use to flying around . Something els to keep in mind at this point weve had mths to hone our piloting skills.So be patient and hang in there and it will reward you the first time you take down a enemy. took me around 2 days before I would even concider how I flew on the pts the first time a novice . and with a lot of practice mind you ive got in the area of 2000 matches played at this point acros the game servers .I try to learn a new maneuver all the time and im allways finding new ways to duck dodge and get under cover . Straff is your friend and I recommend getting use to it and using it inyour flight style early on so you can be good at it one day.Other then that its just time and know how .

Well i'd just like to say thanx to the folks who came out to the test server and helped us get 2 matchs on the new ships.We got a dom and a death match and it was crazy fun . Some of the longest flying around ever and the most fun ive had in a long time. For those who didn't get to make it the new ships are defintly something different and takes a bit to get use too. I hope you enjoy them when you get them on live as much as I enjoyed testing them . They were fun but defintly have to have loadouts changed up a bit and tweeked to your playstyles but fun never the less. We had 2 ops group's of 8 each testing on the pts and got 2 pops and had a great time. Some very very good test pilots I must add and you are all ace's in my book and have a open invite to fly with black squadron on pot 5 and pts anytime. Thanx again you guys and gals

veron char opy pubs we dng testing on pub sde going to do pub v pub
