I was wondering, how everyone else feels about the Space Missions and the Space Combat.

do you like it, or do you think it is a piece of crap?

space mission= my favorite bit of questing to do each day

I think when you think about it they are crap but at the same time theres something about simplistic customization that i find addicting and love. Microcosm of an MMO I guess.

At first I found them awesome and had lots of fun. But now, at around lvl 36, I started running into the exactly the same space combat missions with just a different name. I don't know if its just those 2 space missions or will more and more of them be complete copy/paste of them but doing the same mission twice is no fun any more.

no i found that, i was never a huge fan of it. after playing freelancer, anything short of a full on roaming space experience just doesnt measure up. Copy paste missions seem to come up quite a lot and there seems to be no real point to doing it. the moneys crap, the xp is crap, the commendations give crap gear.... may aswell not bother unless you actually enjoy doing it.

I find the XP quite rewarding at roughly 10k XP per mission.

But I must say, that I am craving real space battles, where I can play versus other players - very much like it was done in Xwing vs. Tie-Fighter, or Open Space Combat altogether.

ill be honest, at first i thought i was going to hate space missions, i mean rails? come on, coming from X-Wing alliance that seems like a cop out. but to be honest, i find i am seriously enjoying all the missions. i am having an awesome time with space missions, keep up the good work!

 

though, if im being honest, i would like to see more free-roam stuff in the future.

Id place them right in the middle of crap and cool. I prefer the normal missions and questing but the space missions break up some of that monotony.

 

So overall, Id say I like them.

I thought space combat meant PvP or at least something a little more in depth. Fairly disappointed that it's a mini-game instead.

I find them relaxing.

 

I mean its just a mini-game. All I can complain is about them not creating a free flight space combat system.

 

Who knows, maybe they will create something like that in the future.

They have a Rebel Assault feel to them, so I tend to like space missions.

I like them a lot for what they are, but hope they're expanded upon later since there's lots of potential to be found

****** version of Star Fox.

Well, after trying them out a few times, I was pleasantly surprised that I rather liked them. I mean, the Daily you get is decent money/xp and really efficient when compared to the time spent on each mission. So, although I only complete the appropiate ones for the dailies, my routine each day I was leveling was something along the lines of Normal Questing ( the majority of my time)-> Daily Space Missions( Took me about 30 mins to do them all)-> PvP Dailies (Time spent varied based on winrate).

I enjoy playing the Space Missions. Its also a great way to level up

Make sure to upgrade your ships since they will be adding more Missions

I enjoy them. I do them as dailies on both of my characters. I just ticked over to level 30 and realised that now all those original missions, like jabin escort, have new sub-missions in them. I now get bonuses for taking out fighters and capital ships.

 

My perspective is this: I would much rather play an arcade game for a daily thant to travel to some secret cave in the middle of nowhere to pick the extremely rare super flower guarded by 12 doo-dads.

I like them, they are a nice change of pace from ground missions.

 

I do wish there was space PvP, but that may in the works.

A great mini game, completely different from the MMO style but still feels like you're playing star wars.

 

love them!

The Space Missions are cool; not something I do every day, but they are still cool.

I definitely like them. However, as someone else pointed out - a few of them are the same with a different title and the difficult increased slightly. I was really hoping we'd see a different and unique area for each mission.

 

The only crap part about them - the xp rewarded has caused my character to be at a higher level than the area which he's questing in. I literally had to skip the Imperial NS bonus series because I was already 4 levels above the quest requirements.

I would LOVE to enjoy the space combat missions, however, there is no option to INVERT the Y AXIS. I cant play without it inverted. Additionally, planes IRL are "inverted" forward is down, back is up.

Initially, I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy them. There is something satisfying about blowing the components off of capital ships. Unfortunately, as each mission is exactly the same every time, they move toward repetitive and boring over time. Additionally, it is disappointing when a newly unlocked mission is simply a slightly harder version of a previous mission.

 

The xp and credits from the dailies aren't bad, but I find my interest in space missions fading.

Like many, I thought I'd dislike it because it's simplistic, but having tried it I've found it fun. Sure, it's simple. But the visuals are nice, and it keeps you busy throughout. Naturally, I dream of a union of this game with Xwing-TIE, the wonderful game that Lucasarts seems to have shunned, but for now I'll make do with this.

Funny, I normally go with inverted flying too, but since it's just mouse controlled, I didn't have any issue with it.

 

I find the missions a fun diversion. However I am at the point where I found the exact same quest but now the ships have shields so it's harder. So... yea. Additionally the space missions would have been a great place to kill time while you are in a LFG tool, except there is none

I love them, though I have issue doing them on the Republic side because I keep trying to shoot Republic ships.
