Whether it is realistic or not, both friend and foe attacks can go through what should be solid objects.
STAR WARS THE OLD REPUBLIC SPACESHIP UPGRADE
You can buy a starship upgrade with more missiles.
If they are needed for objectives, be sure to save some for that. In your first battle you have a limited amount of missiles.It will take a couple of seconds for weapon fire to hit, but it will hit and kill it if you aimed right. Fire 4 shots from max range and switch to another target. When fighters are coming from ahead, you can see their red dots/trail depending on distance.You CANNOT ignore turrets, as long as you see any, keep firing regardless of shield status. You can ignore fighters and recharge your shields.Make these priority over fighters during extended missions. Turrets deal a lot of damage and take several hits to destroy.They usually come from behind, turn and fire at you giving you plenty of time to shoot them down. With level appropriate updates all fighters are dispatched with 2-3 shots.The guns are "smart." Just put the target cursor on top of the target and click. However, the best advice is to always "keep your shields up!" The particular combat encounter will dictate power priorities as pilots advance in level. This device will allow pilots to switch power priority between guns and shields. A Power Conversion Module is available to level 25 pilots. Firing missiles does not affect shield regeneration. Shields regenerate ONLY when the ship guns are not firing. Usually you have sufficient time to accomplish your primary objective(s). Your ship follows a predetermined course through the combat zone. Most pilots find this the most effective method to complete missions. However, using the WASD keys allows pilots to target/fire with the mouse.
They are fired same way as missiles, except you have to maintain your mouse over the target until you get a lock.īoth the mouse and WASD keys move your ship.
The first usually involves shooting down a large number of enemy ships, it is generally available immediately.Each bonus quest will reward some XP and credits. You must achieve this objective to successfully complete the mission.Įach space mission also has a set of three bonus quests, which will not show up on the objectives tracker until you make progress on one of them (destroying the first turret, for example). Each space mission has a primary objective, indicated in the objective tracker in the upper-right corner of the space combat screen.
