Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed

I'm all about this shiznoz! I'm so getting a TIE fighter.

But they have no shields...

So is Diablo turnbased?

Diablo is not turn-based, but if you've played SWG you'll know it's not Dialbo-esque.

It plays like every MMORPG, which while the battles happen in real time, there are timers in the background governing your every turn, or attack, or whatever. Turn-based is probably the wrong term, I'll admit, but if SWG space combat plays like traditional MMORPG ground-combat, then it's pretty dumb.

No not really, in Diablo you have to keep clicking to attack where this type you just click once ;)

In XvT that didn't matter. A TIE Interceptor was every bit as deadly as an X-Wing because the hull was stronger and they were faster. An experienced pilot could murder a squadron of X-Wings in a few minutes. Yet another reason XvT was *the* space fighter simulation and needs a true sequel.

And I'm thinking more and more SWG will just be mouse control like Earth and Beyond :yuck: I need some actual testimony from someone who has played it before I pass final judgement.

No. Just boring as all hell. Ha.

*click click click* *click click* Hahah pwNEd!!!1 suCka1!! *click click click click* *click click click click* *click click*

The crafting in SWG did remind me of Diablo II. Short of DII I've never spent so much time clicking the mouse in my life as I did making fucking bowcasters.

You have to keep clicking a button to attack in every goddamn action game ever made unless it has rapid fire. Diablo plays nothing like a MMORPG.

You misspelled "Freespace 2." (Although Tie Fighter and XvT were damned awesome.) I'm so sad my second install disc to FS2 is missing, I really want to play that right now. :(

Thank you. I felt like the only one thinking that.

Looks interesting. But my concerns for this expansion have been echoed time and time again in this thread already. I think I played with Yoshi all of a 1/2 turn in the original. My name was Bubbles Aloo and I was a creature handler.
