what is GD?
God Damn, or possibly God Damned.
WHY IS THERE NO FCKING GD MISSILE ALARM FOR EM TORP?!
Because it’s not needed.
I must agree.
Was capturing a beacon alone on my prom- today when 3 guards came (While looking at both team shooting at Bios).
Was hiding behind the beacon and been shot down by a double EM torp.
With a small bip bip, I would have used my diffusion shield and tank them without taking any damage.

A) first thing frigs do is shoot EM into beacon
B) you can hear EM torp launch half map through, it is pretty distinguish
C) Since it is 3d person view game you can hide behind the beacon and still watch on incoming enemy ships and you can clearly see EM toprs going into your face.

Yeah of course. I know that it was my fault ^^
Sure it’s not needed as it’s what make it viable. Have just been surprised by that ninja attack while looking at beautiful biomorphs explosions.
People seem to forgetting that the EM torpedo is first and foremost an unguided missile. Unguided missiles don’t have alarms. It’s as simple as that.
I can’t help but feel the majority of these recent patches have made me less and less interested in this game. I can understand the PvE changes restricting ship levels to some degree… but at the same time I hate everything about it.
This update is basically telling me that my T4/5s are pretty much useless outside of Invasion space now. If I want to PvE in one I have to queue up for what’s basically a suicide mission, wait about 15 minutes to actually find a game, then enjoy watching my teammates get wiped out within a couple minutes of playing. As for PvPing? I’m not apart of any fancy SC Corp and have no desire to be apart of one, so all I can really do is PvP queue, and last time I checked nobody really queued for T4/T5 PvP.
As for Biomorphs showing up in PvP. Even though I’m not much of PvPer at all, I can safely say that this is easily the worst thing I’ve ever seen in the patch notes for this game. Biomorphs already weren’t any fun in Invasions. There’s no way anybody is going to enjoy getting one-shotted by them in a PvP match.
That’s my two-cents on this update. I’ll go back to not playing this game and waiting for Star Citizen.
I’ve never really had a T4/T5 PvP option. It’s only been PvE and Invasion, and are what I use for T4 and T5 ships. Now PvE’s no longer an option. So many missions are just unavailable. I’m getting more lag issues than I used to so the whole game’s getting harder for me just because of the network.
I don’t know why the biomorphs are everywhere now. It makes no sense. Why annoy people so obviously right before the big magical 1.0 release?
Also, does anyone have a clue why attack drones go into reload upon spawn in Invasion even if they were ready and unused in the previous sector?

There is and it sounds like “Fshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh–BOOM!!!”
Too bad you can’t see the EM torp when your fat ship is blocking the way. I have also been busy fighting around a beacon and then I die out of no where… I think it the EM torp would be big enough to show on a radar and HUD. I’d be fine without the sound if I could see it readily on the HUD.
This game has potential, unfortunately due to the lack of server stability and connection issues I don’t really see this going much of anywhere. Living in Asia the past year trying to play this with nothing better than a 275 ping including a 50% chance of packet loss is utterly ridiculous. An entire year of play and still no repair or modification or help to it’s stability for connecting correctly and maintaining low latency.
I get the games location of a Europe populous, but their are also many other high populated MMO games with better stability.
I am already prepared for the large amounts of trolling that will coincide after this post, and thus I say good to you. As far as the game mechanics are concerned and a genuine honest opinion on this games future development, these things could be updated and looked into further than pumping out more ways to kill aliens or pump $ into the standards need.
I’m not hating on this by any means, other than I can see it’s ending and low populous continue as many who I have had try to play and be a part of this game have left due to these issues and a lot continue to. I would hope that many of the top tier players who I shouldn’t need to mention know exactly the kind of frustration I’m sure they have as well with these issues.
I’ve mentioned it before such as the bots, ok I get it…a large % of players are not good or new whatever the case, I see no reason to hinder the not so bad with such annoyances. Maybe this balance could be adjusted better with a more involved matchmaking, such as matchmaking with people of specific skill ratings or W/L ratings.
Oh matchmaking in Star conflict…how I love to waste my life in Q hoping to eventually get to play. Many I am sure have and complained. So, why the lack of interest in matchmaking modifications? I would be happy to actually lose multiple games and still get to play every few minutes and not have to wait, then suffer already for hours of wasted game time from matchmaking annoyances. Maybe pick the option to not have a Q location for a region VS a choice of one you want, as regardless of how much I have played, thus to this day have I ever seen a ping lower than 275 even when choosing my own region to play in.
Check my ISP connection, yes; yes. I even have wasted minutes on calls making sure my end was not the issue. I can connect with a ping lower than 100 in Asia on an American voice chat server, so I’m sure something with SC can be modified.
PVE I am afraid I will not touch on or care too much for as this is not why I play games on the internet, it seems to be working for many already.
Missiles…please remove them. Ok, I propose a holding of the right mouse button over cursor of targeted ship for a tone lock of 5 seconds before launch of missile can be shot. Considering aircraft of the 21st century require a tone lock, this seems reasonable and removes the annoyance of anyone being able to launch missiles as if they were main guns. Or make them all un-guided. Jericho LRF I get it…no need to have a locking for this. so excluded of course.
Mainly my concern is the connectivity and latency for all players of all regions and to have a SC free from any ping over 100 would be harmonious. Until this day I am afraid I probably will no longer be a part of it’s community. I hope for it’s future and hopefully it lasts, some of these things could be modified to help the player base be a growing one.
Hopefully some intellectual minds will regard some of this information as informative for a growing game of interest, but for now I shall conclude and commence all the trolling to continue from this post.
As for the none trolls and serious players, good luck with the continued annoyances and all those battles be full of killing and bot free.
I hereby ban myself from SC.
Cheers and good luck to all!

Wow. Caps, bold, italic, underline, and huge font. Oh, and swearing. My mental picture of you has just become 10 years younger.
You must not use this missile very often, otherwise you would realize if it were made any more obvious or noisy when one is heading your way, they would be completely useless.
Why ppl are always asking for an EM Torpedo alarm? It’s an unguided missile.
Next time I will ask for a Minefield Alarm. They are dangerous, they are exploding, ppl must be warned that a dangerous minefield is coming for them.
Minefields have issues all of their own. On Russian servers they have a habit of extending beyond their graphic, or becoming invisible.
On proper servers they don’t need any more warning because they only get you in the glowing red area.
What’s needed is a way to know if the mines/missiles are allies of enemies.
This is a good thing? I don’t know about you, but I still feel the game’s core mechanics (matchmaker, leveling system, monetization, endgame content) aren’t completely cooked all the way through.
For me it’s an achievement in itself, having come from the 0.7 era to 1.0 without being admitted to a mental institute.

you can always fly through it to be sure 
Torpedos don’t use any guidance systems which is why our scanners can’t detect them, personally I prefer torpedos without a bep bep sound, what I would like is those damned cruise missiles to be a bit less annoying, the missile sound is ok for missiles but hearing it for 20 seconds flat gives me a headache. It could get loud as the missile gets closer or it could get faster. If cruse missiles themselves were faster it would make dodging them a bit harder but the entire process of flight, annoying sound and dodging would take alot less.
Minefields should come in blue and red, so should recon mines.
