Trooper 3 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) The current state of pilots is I was looking forward to being a LAAT pilot transporting reinforcements (ppl who died) to battle. Until I saw the star wars vehicles tab. LFS would make piloting far more engaging because it requires some thought, skill & you have room for improvement (faster landing, hard maneuvers etc) So here's my suggestion! Required addons: LFS Base: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1571918906 LFS LAAT/i, LAAT/c & ATTE: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1878568737 Star wars vehicles included within these 2 addons: ARC 170 LAAT/i LAAT/c AT-TE (compatible with LAAT/c) Naboo Starfighter Vulture Droid Droid Trifighter Why I think these addons should be added: -Engaging gameplay for pilots -Good selection of ships for 2 addons -NPC Ship spawner so GMs can focus on other things -NPC ships can attack both air and ground units Recommended addons: Aura's LFS overhaul: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2049972569 Why I recommend this addon: -Useful Hud which shows accurate altitude, speed, radar, if enemy is targeting you, HP & alerts when you are low on ammo. -No more 1 CT super AAs! Reduced blaster damage to ships so dogfighting will be more relevant. (full feature list in the workshop page) I wanted to keep the addons to minimum in this suggestion.

Bortnik 451 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Already been suggested, and there is a possibility of it being added, but i doubt it will be anytime soon.(mainly because its a bunch of large, and individual downloads) 1 Link to comment
Snapper 36 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Like Bortnik said, it’s already been suggested. Garnet doesn’t like having large addons bc they increase loading time and cause more server lag, so it probably won’t happen. The vehicles we have rn could be better, but they serve their purpose.

Maybe some large content download times will prevent Minges from getting in our server so easily, this is something @Phantom has said - we by far have the shortest load in time among SWRP servers. +1 this is needed Edited June 13, 2020 by AlexConway 2 Link to comment

In terms of load in times - it's probably under 2 minutes, the very first time you load in. Then MAYBE 30 seconds after that to start/update, etc. Just food for thought Edited June 13, 2020 by AlexConway Link to comment

Phantom 1,548 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Your suggestion has been Accepted, Please note that accepted suggestions will not necessarily be implemented into the server, but rather forked over to the development team for a second opinion, at which point they are free to choose between implementation or not.
