Not to mention that teamwork results in concentrated battles, which in turn translates into higher intensity and a better gameplay experience. I had enough of scattered attacks with escape pods and snubfighters in That Other Mod. I want boarding to be serious this time around, and I'm sure many others will, too.

Staring intently into my crystal ball, I predict I will not be able to use the E key to exit fighters in First Strike's boarding action maps; that a lot of people will complain about this in-game and on the forums; and that the devs will still not make it possible to bail from fighters onto stations or capital ships. I also predict that if I have my will, only pilots will be able to fly transports and fighters. I by far prefer a setup where players don't spawn in transports, but rather in a hangar with the transports, for then to have pilots fly the transports back and forth between command ship and target.

I think every freakin' game (1942, bf2, 2142, gc, fs, pr) should never let you bail out of a freakin' fighter/bomber. or at the very least, not unless you've landed.

so very sick of intense dogfights where you finally get the upper hand, and you never even find out who you're fighting 'cause they freakin' bail.

worse yet... ever try to ram someone using a parachute in 2142? it blows yer freakin' gunship up!

what are they made of... steel??

and more on-topic... i agree with discouraging that once guy that flies behind enemy lines with a fighter and bails out... i really dislike musical flag-chairs. My idea of fun is NOT running as fast as i can from flag to flag or objective to objective. That's something i realllly like about project reality (AAS mode), and one of the -few- things i like about endor (sorry guys, i mostly just like flying in SW games)
