Re: DSGaming.net Server is Back!

I still think space crashes are excaggerated. OK, so you'll crash. Fine. Part of life. I never saw it as game-breaking or even frustrating, it's just "oh well, part of life".

Until you get kicked and or banned for Tk tongue Which is where the frustration creeps in. It's also down to common sense, dont engage in a dogfight if a team mate is already there, by all means shoot from distance, but dont join the circling war.

Communicate, if your going to break off and run to friendly's, try to let them know so they can be ready to engage the enemy as he tries to grab a bead on you. Even then, I've done this to see friendly forces ignore the target or continue circling in the same spot because they cant read the HUD.

Use numbers. In space, superiority counts, attack in waves and balance bombers and fighters. Learn your priority target and stick to it. A bomber cant turn like a fighter so all you do is waste precious munitions tht could help bring a target down quicker. Learn to dodge and call for fighter support.

Re: DSGaming.net Server is Back!

I was playing on WOLF the other night, on Yavin. It was a great round by the way, I think I got the DS kill shot actually...Anyways, I was chasing a TIE that was after Samzi and I accidentally crashed into him in the process of pulling away(Sorry!). He seemed really offended and I was actually surprised, because I just take TKs like regular deaths. I tend to be really unlucky and TK alot of people as well as get TKed alot. I almost like FF off better, but I totally see where the people who like FF on are coming from...It does make sense, but I do tend to get frustrated after getting a negative score.

Re: DSGaming.net Server is Back!

Theres a case for both. FF off is very n00b friendly which is a good thing as First strike can take a learning curve.

It'd be a pity to see all servers wing one way or the other.

Re: DSGaming.net Server is Back!

I suggest we start playing on our server (64 slots) mainly in the weekend instead of RogueTribe (24 slots) as there will be more players but probably not enough to fill 2 servers. We might even consider turning off FF if the RT'ers can't stand it. Take into account that all the clan games will be played with FF on (if there would be any!)

Re: DSGaming.net Server is Back!

Tonight was a really good example of this.  DSGaming was half full and had some great games and RT still had 20 people too.
