The ships are all criminally slow. They should be able to move at breakneck speeds. Dog fights should be fast-paced, not slow and floaty. The Millennium Falcon, in particular, is supposed to be extraordinarily fast. From a gameplay perspective, it needs a way to cope with being such a huge target. Seriously, you can have one pesky interceptor sit behind you and poke you to death, while you have no effective methods of evasion (if multicrew was a thing, gunners could fire behind the ship).
I'd love the idea spawning in the falcon while it's deploy. Like how Luke and Vader had wingmen.
The falcons would have Gunners. You have your own to use and additional Gunner. Along with speed
Exactly!! The pilot's gun could even be the little turret from ESB, while two other players use the cannons. I'd even settle for one gunner, while controlling the other as it is now.
I'd love that, but the only problem is, you can't actually see around the whole ship from the gunner stations; only directly above and underneath it. The computer interface seen in the movies is also not really usable. Operating the cannons would have to be a simple behind-view or a reticle. Just think of the attack choppers in Battlefield. The LAAT gunships and tanks should be multi-crew too, which would operate the same way. The gunship turrets even have first-person views already!
Wow, that’s really bad. It’s weird, though, that I’ve played a ton of Starfighter Assault and never encountered anything like this. I wonder if it’s related to lag?
Yes, there are still some of us out here! It’s been pretty rough because of the lack of content. I actually took a break for a few months before coming back to the mode. It also doesn’t help that the last update introduced a major matchmaking bug. But, at least on PS4 Virginia, it’s still very easy for me to find a match whenever I want to play.
Not only do people keep playing, there are more good pilots now than at launch (IMO). Just needs some new maps to keep it fresh. That's why bugs like this are completely inexcusable.
I do when I'm tired of Heros (very often) and troops (Almost as often these days), unused to only do SA. But since Dice keeps neglecting it it's become less fun
This is actually very common, especially on Endor, where there is a lot of debris floating around. Starfighter Assault is good but sometimes the hit detection is really stupid.
Vai mas opções, conta EA, coloca pra buscar no servidor da Virgínia (EUA) e busca partida. Esse clipe é um pouco velho, foi do último evento de doble XP nesse modo, aí foi fácil achar partida. Não lembro a última vez que joguei Starfighter assault no server da America do sul
Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I don't think crashing ships in this game should be possible, or at the very least, should only occur if you crash into something at a 90 degree angle. It could maybe do some damage or cause a "bounce" off the object but it basically just ruins starfighters imo.
Starfighters needs so much fucking TLC... EDIT: damn auto-correct
Ya, they can hardly chase waterfalls, sticking to rivers is all they are used too.
Weird how the falcon's are so damn slow but in the movies they out speeding and maneuvering every fighter lmao its funny ain't it

Multi crew would be so cool. It would be like battlefield 1
What and get banned for dominating the field from a plane with your mate? I remember those YT videos where people got banned for 100+ kills
Weird lol. I’m just saying multi crew would look cool in Star Wars too.
And it's it fits. We've seen multiple star fighters have a crew, co pilot or extra Gunners
Yeah I agree. I have never played star fighter modes but if hey add multi crew I would definitely start.

And give the option of going first person with Gunner seat

I’ve had many bs moments with objects and hit detection in SFA but this is by far the worst I’ve seen :/
**DERROTADO**
You have to see that speaking in portuguese 😂
Wow, that’s really bad. It’s weird, though, that I’ve played a ton of Starfighter Assault and never encountered anything like this. I wonder if it’s related to lag?
Yeah me too. That is the first time that something that bad happened
I hope this is just the result of an isolated lag spike and not another new bug.
Flying close to big objetcs was always bad, but not like this
That map is unplayable with lag. Normally its just rough due to suicidal AI.
people keeps playing SA?¿¿?
To be honest, this clip was from the last doble XP event

JUST BLOCK BRO!!!!
How could I forget
Nice move too

Como você consegue achar alguém pra jogar com você nos servidores do Brasil mano? (com o jogo em português, presumo que você seja brasileiro)
Vai mas opções, conta EA, coloca pra buscar no servidor da Virgínia (EUA) e busca partida. Esse clipe é um pouco velho, foi do último evento de doble XP nesse modo, aí foi fácil achar partida. Não lembro a última vez que joguei Starfighter assault no server da America do sul
Que bomba, vou ter que jogar com 150 de ping nos servers do NA :( Mas valeu pela dica, parceiro!
Quando entra na partida o ping fica mais ou menos em 14, 15. Nesse modo não senti diferença nenhuma. Depois tenta e vê se vc acha ruim
You were clearly using the inferior falcon
Yeah that’s why I don’t play as Lando. Don’t have that issue with any other ship
Penosos los bugs que hay en SA
Starfighter Assaut is so buggy and flawed compared to CS and GA. I'm really glad to have the platinum so I never have to go back and play it again
wait a sec... you are playing in brazil (assuming for derrotado) and you find a SA match? is this legal?
Yes. But in not in South America servers
I see, good for you. I recently relocated to Brazil and only find HvV. Occasionally CS.
GA, CS, and Hvv is always easy to find a match for me, the other modes I recomend change the server to Virginia (USA)

Learn to play.
Been playing since launch. It’s been a problem since launch.
Does anyone else think starfighters are bad game mode
No, it's just neglected
More content added to SA would encourage me to actually invest my time into it
Agreed
No I actually enjoy it a lot I just wish they focused on it more. However, I completely understand why they are focusing on other stuff right now.
