I thing that i was wondering about for a while now.
Steamcharts says, that star conflict has about 550 active players,
but still…i can rarely see real players.
PVE with a T4 ship takes a few minutes until it opens, T3 is mostly instant.
PVP feels dead. T1-T4 so far took around 5minutes, just to have a round with maybe 2-4 real players, rest bots.
So where are those other players then?
all at T5? playing with corp alone? or in sector conquest?
Not that Star Conflict is bad, its still fun
Cant wait to have my mauler fully equipped, find my first mysterious containers and those things…or even survive the third PVE difficulty -.-
also a small question:
IF just IF it will happen someday, that there are not enough active players left to start a round, will there be a way to start PVE with 2 players for example? like it currently happens in pvp, where the teams get filled with bots then?
When Sector Conquest is running a lot of the vets will go there. Now that Sector Sweep is added that also gobbles up around 30-40 minutes of vet activity as well (six teams of eight pilots = 48 vets).
I can’t access T1 anymore, but the last time I could it had a very low player count. Likewise, I seem to have bad luck with T4 and T5, but other people report decent (8+) sized games there, so it could depend on your timezone.
Put simply, don’t queue in higher tiers if Sector Conquest is active, because that mode will leech people out of your queue.
Don’t look at steam stats. A lot of people don’t use steam.
Yeah there is also a launcher that you can download off the Star Conflict website. I prefer that because Steam causes problems for me.
T3 PVP is where the majority of people are. Also don’t forget Invasion!! A lot of people spend much time out there now farming for materials, monocrystals and credits
i was also thinking about switching to the launcher, dont know why, but steam messes up my keyboard (loading screen switches layout from german to english and back)
think i should look at the times there, to see if anything sector-related is running.
i think i should read about about that sector conquest and sector sweep in general, sounds pretty interesting.
conquest was corp only, and sweep was basically pvp right?
i think as soon as my mauler is equipped (god damned it is expensive as a newbie xD) i start exploring the invasion myself. currently i did just a few quests out there, but with a T3 ship its basically suicide (tried with LRF, Guard, CO, all jericho)^^ - maybe it works with my T4 and T5 LRF then^^

Try recon. Kill what you can, and run from what you can’t. Works great for me. Also it is great for fast travel.
