He's saying ships suck. Whether or not you agree, Tarkin isn't great outside of the admiral role, and there aren't enough empire ships for him to synergize with right now anyway.

Gearing to GVIII is pretty easy (generally speaking). And you can get most of your useful toons* to that point and then switch to someone else.

STH and Biggs, take them to GXI, wedge too once you get him.

I sent you an ally/guild invite if you want to join my very new fledgling guild. I'm currently trying to get new people in on the official forums, I made a post here but as I suspected there was no interest because everyone here is already in a goon guild. Still it's only about a day old and we are four right now, but if anyone has advice on the best way to get a new guild up and running I'm all ears.

But the ship is so loving amazing. I got poo poo on by an imperial fleet, they had 4 left (2-3 were out of shields, and one was at less than half health), and I just had ITF. He killed all but one of them, and that was really close. I've got a nearly max TFP, and his ship is 5* level 80, and he just dodges a ton, giving Ackbar TM, which gets TFP to shoot more times (including assists), which grants him shields, and it's all just insane.

Also Tarkin is really, really good in ships. You just need a decent dark side team with Darth Vader. So...uh...get on that already.



e: I should clarify, I'm still running AA as admiral because I have a lot of synergy there. My whole strategy is based around Biggs, TFP, and FOTP. FOTP and TFP pretty much do the most damage in the game. I also run Ahsoka and JC main, with RP and GS as backups. FOTP and TFP are pretty fast, and usually go fast. One of them usually lands me a Target Lock, which usually gets me a taunt (when Biggs isn't being buggy). From there I just clean up.

Eh, My ships squad is biggs centric, which means I use Consular. On defense, consular + ITF will lose close games.

ships suck. Biggs taunt doesn't work half the time. I run Mace with 5s, Biggs, Resistance Xwing, JC, and GS. Fish for target locks with the first 3 attacks (5s, Biggs, RP) to land a big mace AOE.

I just can't summon enough interest in ship fights to not put them on auto and go do something else for five minutes. I wish they had just given us ten or so new characters in the main game instead of these boring protracted fights.

Clarification. He plays -this- game while "playing" Eve, because Eve is so engaging, he has to play a phone game during the down-time.

This is like back in Everquest when they added a gems game you could play while your party was forming for some dungeon.

I'm thinking about spending some of my saved up crystals on ships, is the single fleet shipment the better option since it doesn't come with crew or is the megapack better? I probably won't do it anyway but I'm still curious.

EVE owns bones, fighting with the Russians back in 2007 was some of the most fun I've ever had in a game, although I've got no idea what's happening nowadays.

To be fair, he actually barely logs into EVE, he is the leader of the goon org in EVE.

I also used to play EVE a bunch, and actually got elected as an internet spaceship politician with him (he is The Mittani in game) and got flown to Iceland a couple times a year for a few years.

Huh, I spent the past month (except for during double drops in cantina) trying to get 5* crit set speed arrows. One dropped yesterday and one dropped today. The first was a white, but still had 650 protection and 40 offense as an added bonus. The other got 3.5% crit, 600 protection, and 250 health. While I still don't have the speed secondaries I want, I think it's time to farm B2 then Aayla.

Side note: there's a new arena comp called TiT, or TI timeout. GK lead, Zeta Barriss, Aayla, Fives, B2. It will be my goal after GK to gear, level, and star all of them (at least Barriss and Fives are already G9).

Oh i know all about playing another game while you play EvE. Spent way too long playing that stupid game so now I spend my time hating on people who play still.

If I still was single with gobs of free time I would play the gently caress out of EvE

The "cool" thing about Bariss' zeta (+20% health recover for everyone if they get critted) is that it persists after she dies.

I also love when you get a lovely camera angle and literally can't select the target you want. Mashing the screen as time ticks by to no avail.

Definitely max Rey and give her badass speed mods. You need all 5 heroes to 5*, but you really only need 2-3 geared/starred. I had g10 Rey, g10 Poe, and g8 RP all around level 75-80, 7*, while RT and Finn were 5*, level 70, and g7/g8. It will take a couple runs probably for your extras to survive.

Anyways, a super tanky jedi/clone team with GK in the lead is nearly unbeatable. It's quite gross.

I can't help but wonder if they have internal stats and can see how many people do this, and whether or not it is a significant percentage of players, or if we're just pedantic moaners.
