I haven't said it before but I'd like to use a fighter, also, exactly how many ships can you afford?
so you don't end up with brilliant fighter pilots and stuffty frigate ones
To the people choosing fighters: Keep in mind that fighters are the most difficult roles to play in the game. AI turrets are very accurate, rapid-fire kill machines and fighter pilots have to be very good at not getting hit at all. A good fighter pilot is just as effective as a good capital ship pilot because tying up all of their turrets on a target they'll never hit is an extremely useful advantage, but one misstep can end up with your ship getting blown to smithereens in a volley of laser blasts. You're also responsible for targeting turrets rather than ships, and turrets are much smaller targets that require a bit more aiming to hit.But by all means, if you're confident in your piloting ability we could definitely use good fighter pilots.The easiest ship to fly would probably be the frigate, with the next easiest being the battle platform since almost all of the firepower is automated and avoidance isn't as critical to survival since they can take a hit.
That's the way it should be lol
but if your fighter pilots are stuff and they get destroyed it's not nearly as much a financial blow as if you lose a frigate because the pilot does something suicidal
What server is this even on? It would be a nice thing to put in the op or at least tell me over skype/steam or something.
What server is this on? I have 23 million on one of the servers already and it might be the same.
Illusive gaming
Ill join, but I'll bring my own ship.It hasn't been battle-tested yet, so ill keep in the semi-support role of firing tons of missiles.Ingame name: SnowingLeopardI have Teamspeak & Skype.
It would be cool if the fighters were docked in the battle platform, so we could swarm out at the start of the battle.Also, are the fighters branded with their name?
Someone should record this because this fight sounds loving epic.
