I'm being selfish and I know a lot of folks sit out for space boards but could we have 1 more? Apologies if I'm repeating a topic or should be posting this elsewhere. I'm a complete NOOB if that helps.

I think it's the 5-7th topic asking for this change.
And i think it's the 5-7th time i proposed either adding 1 or changing the era to EMPs vs REBS wich is better known for it's better vehicles.

And i think this will be the 5-7th time this will be rejected as well :lol:

I personally like the space maps, but I notice when a space map starts up a lot of people leave. It seems that a lot of the fight happens on the flight deck of the ships. I would like it if the point value systems were to be modified somehow so more points are needed for victory, and less points are given for flight deck kills.

I think that is a great idea! Thank you for suggesting that.

The point system in space is really OPed.

If someone destroys a frigate they get like 20 points for each one.
If someone destroys a critical system they get like 30 points.
If someone shoots down a fighter they get like 4 points.

You can get 100+ points easily in space.

Not to mention there's a rarely used glitch, where if you just shoot the engines from space, then go destroy it from inside, you get double points...

Thats why I really do not count the points. Like you said, anybody can grab a bomber and spam over frigates and get high score. I look at kills and deaths, my kill death ratio is usually 10 or 15 to one. But that is just me and what I take away from the game. Let the nooblets feel like they have accomplished something big by racking up points with zero kills. That may be the high point of their day. (sad isnt it)

Fixer brings up a point that is very true....BUT some players leave on Space maps....however, those that stick around know there's only ONE space map, so they hang.....Hate to say it, but it's true...Players hate the space maps. Here I am, a Jet pilot, but can't fly those damn fighters worth a crap, so..I digress...play as an Vanguard, guarding those Flight decks (racking kills I might add), transforming into a Pilot to fix stuff....but tis frustrating, cause 'Nobody gives a SHIIIITTTT! what happens to their ship or the whole damn MAP! Ergo....I say....Press on with the bloodlust of ground maps. Just my 2 cents. :gunsmilie:

In my personal experience on both american and australian servers i have always found that for conquest galactic civil war is the most popular mode but for space it doesnt really matter.
For space i really agree with whoever put the ctf idea up. ctf makes people get out there and really scrap it out in the fighters, the only space i enjoy and its also very quick if you say put cp capture amount to 4 (which means up to seven potential captures to win) or put say a 10 minute time limit. When servers do this i always stay for space when they dont... odds are i will leave because it just ends up with people cruising around in bombers bombing the engines, bridge etc etc
