Dradle Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 I wonder if there is going to be an XP bonues for the side you choise? I know in AO there is a 13% increase if you play clan, and like 10% increase if you play Omni
setsuko Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 No. But you'll gain faction points when you perform duties to your faction. Faction points can be used to gain access to special equipment, weaponry and armour, to command units and even walkers on battlefields, and to build turrets etc on battlefields. You can also be granted fast transportation by shuttle and eventually, after the space expansion, a good faction point account will help if you want to 'borrow' a starfighter and take the war to another level.
little brother Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Im all about the dogfight. I wonder if there's going to be a pilot's skill tree. Well, I hope there will be it would be an interesting profession.
Evad Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 From everything that I have heard and read thus far, the Pilot will "most likely" be one of the new professions bundled with the Space Expansion. So not to worry little brother, I think you just might get what you want.
little brother Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 HA!HA! That just tells you other pilots out there.. you better watch your 6 constantly because you never know who may show up...!
-=ReApEr=- Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 I wonder how the pilot addon will work like in air can you shoot anyone down who is in a plane or will you have to request to have a fight????
Jackrabbit Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 They have a video out there from E3 where they show space combat. Everything is "twitch" based, like a FPS. I think I read, though, that the less you have in Piloting the harder it will be to control your ship. And I'm pretty sure you don't have to ask anybody to fight. I think space is FFA. [Edit] Oh, and there's no atmospheric flight, only space.
-=ReApEr=- Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Oh ok well i hope there will be safety zone's i don't want to be shot all the time
Wraith 8 Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Quote Originally posted by -=ReApEr=- Oh ok well i hope there will be safety zone's i don't want to be shot all the time the only save zones will be the start area's
Jackrabbit Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 There will probably be space stations, and safe zones around the planets. Your right, full FFA would be bad. [Edit] EEK Wraith! All right...well... They must have some kind of rules, or else Space will be really lame. Griefers will own the place.
-=ReApEr=- Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Yay it should be good though deffintley for smugglers all the risks and thrills
-=ReApEr=- Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 Blademaster there's a Theard just above this about xp in the future search

-=ReApEr=- Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 AH that's good then i don't want my bounty ship being shot down but knowing bh's there probally attackable all the time in space
Kaiser Spaso Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 i wonder how ppl would feel about a BH killing jedi?
-=ReApEr=- Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 Ok kaiser seriously every thread i post in you post after with some silly Jedi comment STOP talking about Jedi's hopefully you won't be one phewwww Sorry about that people but it really is annoying me i hope the dev's clear it up soon
Jackrabbit Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 Yeah man, we were talking about Space, not Jedi. not
-=ReApEr=- Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 Also let me point out the space exspansion is very rusty at the moment so we can only keep guessing
Kaiser Spaso Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 Quote Originally posted by Jackrabbit Yeah man, we were talking about Space, not Jedi. not anyway you look at it.........................Jedi is Star Wars......what would Star Wars be without Jedi??? a bunch of gun ships flying aimlessly around space...
-=ReApEr=- Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 We aren't saying that There's just a time where you can go too far
Krymelord Posted May 8, 2003 Posted May 8, 2003 Look at games like Earth and Beyond and such that have space combat. SWG's space expansion will be keeping an eye on those games to get an idea of what works. I really doubt that space combat will be released as a twitch based combat. I would bet a paycheck that at final release, it ends up being more turn based (or queued) attacks. Bonuses in Space Combat attacks will be given for piloting (gunnery skill) and based on the equipment that you buy (Photon torpedoes/ Concussion torpedoes and lasers). Defensively, piloting (evasion) skills and shield/hull upgrades will keep your butt from sucking vacuum. The reason I believe this is due to the arguments the DEV team have made for their ground combat choices. All still apply to space combat. Twitch based combat will still have to fight against lag and reflexes. While turn based is more cerebral, the stance the DEVs have taken on SWG's combat so far. I will say that both twitch and turn based have upsides and downsides, I enjoy both. But IMHO the DEVS will go with the one that has more control put into it for the fairness of all.
Jackrabbit Posted May 8, 2003 Posted May 8, 2003 I'm relaying what I got from the E3 video. It looks like it handles like BF1942. [Again, sorry if it's the wrong video. German site.]
