Get ready for Galactic Starfighter! The next digital expansion to SWTOR featuring 12 v 12 dogfights and space battles. This expansion will be free to play with subbies getting extra perks. Would love to see more RBL'ers out there

For more information... http://www.swtor.com/galactic-starfighter
Come forth and join us in space combat with mighty enemies! And hopefully the controls will be better than they were for Galaxies!

So they are finally ditching that rail system?
Re: SWTOR FANS! - M1A2Tanker - 10-09-2013
Not really ditching it, I think they're adding onto the game that let you do off-the rails flying as well as the original space missions.
Re: SWTOR FANS! - Holmes - 10-10-2013
Cool, can't wait to try it.

Galactic Starfighter is live for subbies
Didn't fly with Holmz the other day but I was chatting with him in between bouts. So far it has potential but my opinion is pretty meh right now. I'm very disappointed that the only flight control option is the mouse. I hate flying with the mouse, would rather have a stick or game pad. Maneuverability is key to dogfighting, and with the mouse system it's very hard to turn. Keeping my fingers crossed for a better control option soon. Combat is typical mmo style as you see numbers flying off ships as they get hit ect ect. It's hard to tell who is a veteran and who is a rookie pilot, this is good and bad. Good because you can focus on objectives, bad because you don't know who has the most upgrades ect ect. Pretty tough to get kills at first. Once you can save enough credits to upgrade secondary weapon to proton torps it is a little easier. Lasers take forever to land a kill, and it's tough to aim. This is just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt. I see a lot of potential for this mode, but right now it's pretty disappointing and not what I was expecting. â¼Â§â¼

I still don't care for the controls and no joystick option, however the controls are growing on me... eg I'm getting better with them. I've been consistent in my scout in being in the top 5 on matches of late, I think I finally found a build that goes with my playstyle heheh
Don't forget to go to a PvP terminal and grab the starfighter daily and weekly's, lots of ship req granted from those.
My main pilot seems to be Zageed (republic, shadowlands), with ship req being tied per character and per ship, it will probably remain my pilot main lol
Re: SWTOR FANS! - Acehigh - 12-07-2013
Roger roger will have to keep that in mind lol, my main pilot seems to be Vestarrah. She's my chiss, smuggler, level 26 shadowlands toon. Have had the most success with her so far. Any thoughts on the gear they gave us? Was all useless compared to what I had equiped, but don't know if it'll help in the starfighter area....also any tips for turning? I do pretty well head to head or if I can get behind someone with a little distance between us. up close I get slaughtered since I can't turn fast enough.
Re: SWTOR FANS! - Holmes - 12-07-2013
How the ship is loaded out I think will mostly depend on your playstyle. The upgrades seem almost negligible imo, especially considering the cost. The only upgrades where I've actually noticed it are cooldown reductions and missile lock reduction... the damage increases etc do seem to raise the stats but I do not notice it out on the battlefront.
For turning, they all pitch better than yaw (just like XvT)... so it's best to roll into a turn with the A or D key so that you can then pitch to or away from your target, you'll turn allot faster.
I still hate the controls, flying with a keyboard and a mouse ugh lol
