Correction, T3-T5. They’re mixed. It helps me keep the dream alive that the Americas have something beyond T3.
I have A full suite of T4 ships and nobody to play with. I DONT want to verse T5s as they seem OP when you compare stats and there implants.

Do what I’m doing since yesterday: Since I can’t play a “decent” PvP match without having mixed tiers, a LRF plague or something ugly as that, I squad up with lower tiers friends of mine, and help them get synergy and credits in PvE. I don’t advance a s***, but I’m having fun in TS.

Its simply not fun to Verse T5s in T3s. Simple fact is simple.

I never said it was fun, what did you read? O.o

Someone got to use to kicking Aces to the curve in the same tier in full squads :))) Last night we were doing 4 man T1 vs T2-T3, we won 8 out of 10, while having more than half on T3s on enemy team
Before we were doing 4 man T3 vs T4-T5, we won about 60-70% of the games. And that was damn fun. There is no fun or pride on stomping as 4 man squad vs randoms (with current population there is no way to have squads vs squads within same tier)

Good for you. We were doing matches in 4 men squad yesterday, rank 2. Got paired vs tier 2 and tier 3 with our stock tier 1 ships, and two of us even trying the game for the first time.
I won’t be surprised if they quit the game after that.

I agree that new players got a short side of a stick currently, currently there is no differentiation between veterans and new players, squad is a squad and its gonna be tough. My whole comment was to JPHack who is a veteran players, that is it.

Ah yes the veteran, me, the player that has logged in nearly 20 days in game. Im just gonna step back and point out that stat for stat, a T5 will always win against a T3. Regardless if they are newbs, it requires a good team. Something that is severely lacking in that tier, nevermind being on TS, but teamwork is key. NASA is known for teamwork, thats why we are persevering through and kicking xxxx. But to a new player or a person reading this, they will understand the problem quickly, making them not a long time member of the game.
We have a broke ping system, poor leadership controls and game modes that spawn bad play. Sure making things in locked teirs would be easier but it will promote farming. We need to come up with a way to lock the tiers but make it so that those kill squads are nerfed OR make it so that when you kill a player that is in a squad, you gain more money and that squad member has a penalty of some sort.
Here’s a fix: prestige.
Lock tiers by default, but then have the MM calculate where it thinks you belong and, if it reckons you belong in a higher tier game, have it pop-up asking if you want to fly a prestige match.
So, a R9 pure blue “prestiges” and is matched with the lower T4 queue (R10, 11 and 12).
To encourage this behaviour, the Prestige Pilot gets a big jump in rewards. Say, +25% income and experience.
This encourages the better pilots to allow themselves to be moved up, and if needs be the other scale (-25% income and xp if you don’t Prestige) will choose to move up a tier rather than try to farm lower down.

This is a good idea, but then you have the Squad Issue. I have ALL of my ships still loaded with Weapons, and Modules so I can drop down, and match anyone’s rank of ships if I need to. Almost all of my T1 & T2 ships are full synergy, full blues with the occassional purple. If I squad with them how will it handle that if they are not full synergy w/ blues?
It would go on a case by case. First off, the squad as a whole is valued using the average MM score (each pilot’s MM / # of pilots + small modifier for 3-4 man squads). If this results in prestige, the squad leader is asked.
Second, indivual pilots have their income tweaked. If my personal MM says I should be in T4, but I’m flying T3 and my squad is all T3, I take an xp / income hit but they don’t. If I flew T2 ships instead then I’d get bonus income and xp (because my MM makes me “prestige” in any tier below 4) but my squad don’t.
