Umm... a rebel pilot is not going to waste his fighter and hop out inside an Imperial Star Destroyer by himself. It just WOULDN'T happen.

The battle of Yavin was not such a small force and they had a good plan of taking it down. Jumping into a Star Destroyer is pure suicide. And this is a game of the everyday soldier not the child of Vader and Rambo. It is un-SW-realistic, looks stupid, and it's bad for gameplay, I don't want people skidding into my hanger in an xwing, jumping out while it's still moving and shooting me while I run to my ship. Even if he is gunned down, that's just a STUPID situation to have to witness. It tells me "this is a stupid arcade game full of children" not "You are a fighter pilot participating in an epic battle."

Who knows if the fighter wrenches will be used anyways, there may be autorepair implemented and there's always the Freighter or Gallofree to repair AND rearm at.

Umm, that's not satisfaction, that's frustration, if you can get over it fine, that's good for you, but I don't think you would be happy after it happens a hundred times and a guy does it after you were trailing him for 5 minutes straight.  Players cannot be suspended in space after bailing as far as I know it is impossible to code since people can walk inside the hangers, it would conflict even if it were possible...

If you're concerned with the safety of troop transports, stay in your fighter and fly escort for them. I really do not see any type of infantry taking them out as they come in to land. Just doesn't sound plausible in any way to me. Not only don't I see why there'd be a HWS class in space maps in the first place, except maybe a limited one with only the 'machine gun', but I also strongly doubt that a transport would succumb to rockets before it could land and unload its troops. FS rockets aren't powerful at all.

I don't know how boarding maps will work, but I have a strong feeling that if the troop transport makes it to the hangar, it'll be able to land and touch down.

They assaulted the battle station with thirty fighters, which is not a small number by a long shot, and were faced with completely ineffective AAA which was made to repel attacks by larger vessels, and since the Imperials greatly underestimated their potential, the Rebel fighters were faced with only a few Imperial starfighters, launched too late in the battle.

Both in Star Wars and in real-life, fighters are incredibly effective. Count the number of German cruisers and battleships sunk by fighter attacks after winning ship-to-ship engagements. In SW, the Lancer Frigate (the original model with 20 anti-fighter turrets, not the modified fleet ship currently in FS), and the new line of shielded starfighters with hyperdrives, were a desperate ploy to counter the devastatingly effective Alliance starfighters.

Episode III.. Jedi....

I never said the whole team would do it, thats highly unlikely, the fact is that it would be happeneing, and any amount of it happening is bad. I don't care if it only happens once or twice in a whole round, if it happens it's still a problem, there is no denying it.

This isn't all about points it's also about atmosphere, pilots in SW weren't 'ejecting' in mid space, so I don't want to see bodies flying across my screen when I am flying in space.

It's not up to the good players to make it fun it's up to the game developers to remove the problems and stupid glitches and exploits so the good players can enjoy the game. I see bailing out of your fighter instead of taking your death as an exploit.

FS has nothing to do with the War in Iraq and it's nothing like it. FS is a game that's a matter of life and death and no one is making the rules.

And FYI, fighter/bomber pilots don't rearm their payload during a battle IRL. They are rotated in and out with multiple other fighters or bombers.

Going to skip your getting shot down 'point because it's just lame...

Moving on, a pilot IRL IS limited to being a pilot IRL. If he is shot down and manages to parachute down, he isn't going to be told, oh yea come to our troops but on the way, go into these 4 houses and kill hte insurgents in them with your pistol... A pilot IS a PILOT.

I really don't feel like arguing my point any further. You offer no good points except ones which are unnecessary and would contribute to being harmful to immersion and gameplay. And relating it to real life? Uhhh yea ok.... I will stop beating up the disabled kid now.
