Usually Rice is having around 170-300 ping and I have around 100-150 and he STILL gets more kills then me!
Aawwww. I guess you are doing something wrong and better use your engie :taunt:
Problem with sector conquest is having a chance of being put up with other bad squads in your “faction alliance”. This is not real competition, it is still random. They were trying to fix this with addition of wings, but nobody ever gets a game as wing.
This should be a 6v6 or 8v8 squads permitted only and get completely rid of mixed squads, to make it of some real competition, it’s not like it’s hard to gather 8 people for a competitive game. If you would do it this way and the matchmaker would actually put us in real 8v8 games, this would be some epic stuff. But until it’s randomness like now it serves no purpose.
I would guess that these are the plans, first introduce wings, then incentivize, then make it mandatory. We are at step 1. So long as you don’t get extra rewards from wings, nobody will play it, except for practice matches between corps, organized from before.
some t4’s are useful in sec con, r11 empire engi and r12 fed engi for example can be a great addition in the right hands

ive seen a r12 imperial lrf do most of the killing for a 3 man team. admittedly, due to heals his tank refused to break so he just wouldnt die.
For me, ping is mostly the issue. Flying in three dimensions with over 200 ms of delay is agonizing to say the least. I want to make sure that if I’m flying in SC in such conditions, I at least have a ship that can take the additional abuse.

I have no clue what ping you guys have, but mine is 210 at my local region (SA), 350-470 (USA), 350-410 (EU) and 370 - ??? (Russia)
A simple solution is to make sector Con split into 2
Ranks 7-10 and then 11-15
But I doubt its actually workable with this population and reward wise it dont make sense, especially how Sec Con is for end game pilots anyway.
I think this is a clever idea, but may achieve little due to the constant low player count as splitting the que even further than it already is would be painful for anyone trying to find a battle.

Wow, the hell are you from? antarctica?
And I thought i had the highest playable ping…
I am from Colorado in the US.

It looks like you live out in the woods and connect with dial-up modem otherwise I couldn’t explain why you have such a bad ping to all servers…

Sweet heavens, that is bad ping. Where in South Asia are you? The US and EU ping range looks roughly the same for me. 370 on RU is a bit mad, and 210 on SA??? I can’t imagine.

Playable is a subjective term. But yea, I used to think that my 300+ ping on RU was high.

Try again… I’m from Australia :Dwop
Has anyone played Sec Con lately? I feel that games are too far and in between

I did, what do you want to know?

I waited 20 min and not a single game. Gave up after that.

we had 16 games last night during a 01:00AM-02:00AM EST cycle, 4v4-6v6. Still laughing
I waited 20 min and not a single game. Gave up after that.
I did 4 men squads and we got game after game with almost non existan queues…
That’s why! I play at the wrong time. I need to live in Europe or something.
…until you skill catches up to your ship rank.
Question for you: Are there enough players in SQ atm? Are the queues short and the games full?
No. As stated above, Sector Conquest is end game. Play PvP if you want to go 7-10 rank games.
I can’t play PvP with a rank 10 ship, timer just keeps going forever.
Sector Conquest is endgame content for corporations and players which want to use the strongest fits possible. Due to this fact it is intended that you need to put some effort into the game to be able to compete with the best.
So if I want to play just because beacon capture is my favorite mode and I’m in a crappy time zone, I’m screwed? Yeah, glad I haven’t spent real money here and I may be looking for a new game.

If you would’ve spend real money for license, you would’ve have r15s, and Sector Conquest, i.e. realistic mode, is played in every single cycle.
When fleet strength was first introduced, I have only 2 T5 ship and several T4’s. I have not done a single sector conquest battle until I have about 100 ship maxed by doing around 2000 pve battles after 2~3 months, don’t wanna drag my team down with crappy ships XD. radyogh from ESB wanted me to come back but I’m like I ain’t got no good ships to play sc lol.
