Ok, first and foremost, I am not trying to upset anyone, and I will freely admit that I am not a veteran GSF player. I also will admit to my disability in my left hand, making it way more difficult for me to play games that require a mouse and keyboard. I have set key bindings and basically have a tough time playing any game where dexterity is the key factor. With all of that said, I still can not figure out how (on multiple occasions) I get one shoted by a primary laser from a strike fighter after I (using every different type of gunship, most recently the VX-9 Redeemer, mastered). First I hit the enemy with my ion (or plasma depending on the ship) rail gun, the switched to the slug rail gun, and hit 2 more times before he/she got close enough to shot one time and boom, that is when my copilot tells me that he can't operate in space, or something similar. I have used strike fighters many times, I have mastered a few of them, I still have to keep pumping about a zillion laser blasts int an enemy before he one-shots me. I admit to putting most of my ship's power towards the weapons, but still, one laser shot is all it takes to destroy any of my ships. At first, I assumed everyone else is using mastered ships while I was still upgrading, but then I started mastering ships. I still get blown up as easy as ever. Also, what's the deal with missile lock re acquiring 1 second after a special maneuver? How can another human being continue shooting me while I am actively using every combination of thrusters, turns and weaving in between obstacles? Come on, no human can keep that little red cross-hair n an object moving at vastly varying speeds while zipping around like a fly on fire. Yet, this is very common in just about every match I have played. I really believe that something strange is happening here. I am a subscriber and have been since the first time I logged on. (about 6 or 7 months ago). After losing many death matches with scores like 50-3 (red) and domination battles 25-1000 (red), it gets a little frustrating that I pay for this kind of humiliation and yes it is very disheartening to lose 80% of every match. It takes a long time to master a ship with little amount of req's they give for losing. I have won many trophies, mostly because of assists, the most kill that I have ever had in a match was 4, and we still got our butts handed to us. I average about 7-9 assists per match, that's because it takes me 5 or six rail gun shots to kill the other guy, and by that time I get one shoted by a primary blaster, or a missile that keep lock during a barrel roll or other evasive actions. I have never once been able to keep an enemy in the cross-hair long enough to ire a missile, that is why I can't understand how somebody can maintain a 2 sec continues bead on my hip when I am darting every which way I can, in between every obstacle. I mean, really, how do you know that I am going to bank left and now down, or right instead of up? How can you keep a mouse led cursor lined up with another small circle for 2 seconds, when the other cursor is moving in all different directions randomly? Please tell my how I too can learn to use the force to anticipate every move my opponent is going to make before he does. Anyway, That's my rant. I have also experienced many other extraordinary feats from enemy players that should not be possible, like killing me from a range that no primary weapon on any fighter is supposed to have. If anyone out there can tell me this is allowed to happen, and what satisfaction does Bioware get from making their paying customers feel like they are totally useless and feel humiliated every single day. Yeah, I know it's my choice to continue to allow myself to be treated in this matter, all I have to do is log off and never log back on. Yeah, I could give up, be a quitter, but why should I have to? Why can't I have something to show for the hundreds of dollars that I have spent on this game in the past 6 or so months (I have 8 level 75 toons, 1 for every class, 5 are mastered) I spend money at the cartel market, because I enjoy Star Wars, and I enjoy making my toons look the best that I can so yeah, hundreds of dollars. If I just quit, I have done all of this for nothing. I just wish I knew how NOT lose in GSF. Michael E Harber MS May the force be with you!
