The A wing is the worst of them all, one of if not the fastest ships in the game with a shield and mines to boot. No point in any of the other ship types when all it’s ends up being every round is who can get the most kills as an interceptor. you can win without a dedicated support or bomber, but you cannot win without a dedicated fighter or interceptor. I cannot even bring myself to place in ranked because every single round is the same.

@BlueSpy3DO Wow, everything you just said is wrong.I'm not at all impressed that you were the top scoring player as the only human in the lobby. Take your tactics against a few dedicated 5 stacks and come tell me how you do.

Lol you think I care about impressing some random on the internet? Especially one who clearly can’t comprehend basic logic? let me spell it out for you, I run ion I run bomb I run healer I run resupply I no get high score I get bottom scorei run zoom zoom fast ship I farm bots I get top score I get high damage to big bad ship without using slow boom boom bomber

I see Tie Bombers way more often than Interceptors.

@BlueSpy3DO Man you don't have a clue about fleet battles and git gud is the answer for your problem. All ships are needed in fleet battles if there are somewhat competent teams. Well okey support is not allways must have but usually they are more than needed. You cant win by using interceptors only against actual human team.Allso what comes to the score system. Let me put it this way. What do you think is easier to do do damage on the capitalships, resuply and repair allies or shoot down enemy pilots and i mean human pilots not bots?Allso why do you care about the score anyway. Our ratings increase or decrease by wins or losses individual scores don't matter.

@BlueSpy3DO I hate to say it, but it sounds like you just need to get good.Interceptors are only able to get easy kills if you're out of position or if your team's not working together; use the ping system to call out potential flankers and you'll see them forced to run away or trade kills.

All this game is online is people in interceptors farming

Look at that photo and tell me what you see. I ran an A Wing all game long, getting massive amounts of damage against capital ships the whole time.
I got more damage than the actual bombers on my team, but that’s not what got me such a high score.

I got the bare minimum amount of kills to get the top of the leaderboard, I just so happened to farm more kills so I got rewarded the most out of my team.
All this does is encourage people to farm, not play the objective. It creates a toxic environment for anyone who doesn’t play as a fighter or interceptor. Go take your git gud nonsense somewhere else.
This current system could have both support and bomber removed and you wouldn’t even miss out on wins.

The point is why have other classes if one class does it better than even the class dedicated to the specialist tasks? Why should I run a bomber if I can get top of the leaderboard against bots or otherwise? Why should I be healing with a support ship just to get bottom on the scoreboard and get less xp?

as of right now bomber and support are useless, because all you need to win is fighters and interceptors with the right class. I can go do another round against players and I’m willing to bet I’ll be higher on the scoreboard than a bomber or support but that’s not the point I’m making.

why run ion and proton bombs on a bomber and get constantly hounded by faster and better ships and then killed by the capital ship turrets when I can just zoom in, empty my payload, and zoom out all while being better equipped to take out other ships?
why waste a slot on ion rounds if I’ll end up handicapping my score by not focusing on DPS and kills? The system set in place punished anyone not running the fighter or interceptor class because everything else is just flat out worse.

@Jorpaz If you really think getting behind a bomber or support is difficult then you’re daft.
All I see is a bunch of people in denial over the fact that farming kills equals top of the leaderboard.
You try running a game without bombers or support and then try running a game with no interceptors or fighters and see how well that goes.
Top of the leaderboard means more xp, more xp means people are going to farm instead of focusing on specialized ship roles, you can easily win fleet battles with just fighters and interceptors because both carry anti capital ship weapons making the others just worse off in general regardless of their loadout’s DPS potential. If you are too slow to dogfight, too slow to outrun capital ship guns, and are easily the first to get gunned down then their is no point running them.
