Anyone found out how to use the Orbital Strike yet? Keep getting a message on screen saying the squad leader can use it.

no but i saw one it barely missed me and wiped out someone else and was like HELL YEA!!! also there are 32 players now.. that makes big notcible effect, it looks like a battle even more now.

and no they did something when i played last night the hit detection was almost spot on. i think i can actaully quit drinking now and just play the beta and the new graphics are great you dont feel like your playing PS2 anymore.

yea my dropship was taken out by a single swarm launcher and my shield is like 3900 but I was having so much fun as a soldier I forgot to learn 2 fly which I have to do now that you can do a barrel roll.. the way I flew last build I didnt zoom around much unless we were taking SL or FL I would just slowly lumber around allowing my gunners to rack up kills like they were firing from a stationary platform but we're hoping that the pilot suits give us some kind of special way to fly the ship better and only someone with a pilot suit can actually fly the ship worth a dam but we'll have to wait and see.

the network stability is still terrible but at least i could play 2 out of 3 games instead of 0 like I was having the first night inciting me to go crazy on the forums in an all out troll thread but everyone was furstrated because we're passionately wanting to play so the forum that night was a lot of chaos reflecting our furstrations at not being able to play

Now people like me with completely horrible connection that needs to wait 5 hours to update can still have an insight on the new update. I'm goin to keep a close eye on this thread until tonight when I can actuall play lol Lol yeah. Hopefully people will keep posting in here their thoughts as the night progresses etc.

I prefer choosing what game mode I want to play.

It's pretty idiotic that an anti-tank dropsuit is forced to be a heavy - it's not like we can rely on damage mitigation against tanks for survival. are you serious? AV people no longer have anything to complain about. I know because I am one and CCP has given me wins against vehicles on a silver platter. If you dont know what I am talking about, you'll figure it out eventually. Yes, I'm serious, and I'm not complaining. I just prefer blazing fast anti-tank movement like it is in every other game and irl. This game isn't supposed to be like every other game though.

I'm not a fan of waiting 5 minutes just to start a game because the other servers are full. I think they should add a 16vs16 server for those who do not want to wait long to play a game.

Ad ski IMPSwarm Negative-Feedback 209	Posted - 2012.08.15 14:42:00 - [11] - Quote So now it seems all the battles have gone. You have to use instant battle to find a game meaning you get no choice in what you play.

Ad ski IMPSwarm Negative-Feedback 209	Posted - 2012.08.15 19:01:00 - [13] - Quote I have noticed your problems with players sitting back more. The reason I believe is you can't afford to die. My suit is assault type 2 with a duvolle AR, nanohives and armour repairer. The rest of that suit is militia which in total cost's me around 80k a time. I played a ambush match (not by choice) went 16-3 and had only made enough ISK to cover me for my losses and one more suit. The next game it was either sit back and snipe with a cheap scout suit or risk losing money.

Unsure of the instant battle system as last night it put me and grit and one team vs a solo guy on another team. It added 2 more guys to his team towards the end but the map we got put on was huge. Had some problems the whole squad getting into a game, remaking the squad seems to usually fix that.
Ad ski IMPSwarm Negative-Feedback 209	Posted - 2012.08.16 12:59:00 - [15] - Quote I didn't even notice that. I just got on to try but seems as though the servers are down.

Haven't tried it myself yet but that's what multiple people have said. I hope that doing pilot skills makes the dropships like before or something.
