My wife, however, enjoyed the latter very much. I also agree that updated Matrix Cubes would be nice and that the Legacy system could have been so much more as well.<br /><br /><i> I remember feeling perpetually confused when pre-GSF, they were always talking about how sooo many fans were asking for off the rails space combat.</i><br /><br />The way I see it and how I understand it is that many people were hoping for something akin to the original “X-Wing” and TIE-Fighter” games. At least I did. Admittedly, that was a long stretch, but hope dies last, as they say. Also, let’s not forget that GSF is first and foremost a PvP mini-game and SWTOR is primarily a PvE game.<br /><br /><i> I'm not surprised that there doesn't seem to be a huge overlap between people who like classic hotbar MMOs and Bioware RPGs and people who like twitchy spaceship combat</i><br /><br />I find that point particularly convincing as it is exactly how I feel when I’m forced “outside” of my character in an (MMO)RPG. This is basically the reason why I always disliked vehicle fights in WoW. I want to play my characters and not some other construct.Maldwizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02726258842496198525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-12916584304009536942015-05-20T21:42:39.630+01:002015-05-20T21:42:39.630+01:00I can't really see them doing that because you...I can't really see them doing that because you just know that a lot of people would resent being "made" to do space combat for their operations. To be honest, I think the fact that it doesn't grant major advantages in any other part of the game is one of the strengths of space combat. That truly makes participating in it a choice.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-52763572150607030832015-05-20T21:39:20.087+01:002015-05-20T21:39:20.087+01:00Everyone else just wasn't that big into space ...<i> Everyone else just wasn't that big into space combat (old or new).</i><br /><br />I remember feeling perpetually confused when pre-GSF, they were always talking about how sooo many fans were asking for off the rails space combat.

I would have really loved to have seen the space combat portion incorporated into an operation; you could have the option of 'softening up' a target but doing a space battle and this could effect the next couple of bosses or even the whole instance. I think that'd be killer. Maybe one day they'll do that?Targeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15058694309677686827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-42547655243852304552015-05-20T11:25:49.137+01:002015-05-20T11:25:49.137+01:00I really enjoyed the original space missions.

Still, every time I leveled a new character, I always looked forward to doing them. I think the visuals are/were really amazing. It was the perfect mini-game for me, given how my particular affinity for the Star Wars universe lies mostly with its ships. I thought it was really well done, for what it was.Traitinehttp://www.constantwarfare.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-59068342309465474932015-05-19T23:53:18.499+01:002015-05-19T23:53:18.499+01:00I think the Legacy system was poised to go places,...I think the Legacy system was poised to go places, but was upended by the Cartel Market. Some of the perks are very good, but I don't see this system evolving very much.<br /><br />Regarding the original space game, I can't remember the last time I played it. Other than new missions and maybe new levels of gear I never saw it going anywhere.<br /><br />I initially figured that GSF was going to be PvE and not PvP. I never got used to the controls so I don't play it much. I may have to give it another look.Darkbrewhttp://thebrewhall.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-85460737675975245482015-05-19T23:45:08.424+01:002015-05-19T23:45:08.424+01:00I only know of one guildie who got into GSF.

Everyone else just wasn't that big into space combat (old or new).<br /><br />One of the things I don't understand about the family tree system is that they don't have an apprentice/padawan option. That seems like an almost basic connection! It would also be really cool if they made a guild organizational chart like the family tree.Pixelkaffehttp://www.pixelkaffe.comnoreply@blogger.com
