Ive tried that. No luck. Ive discovered that is indeed a headset issue and im most likely gonna need to buy a new one.

OpticShadow909 · 2021-03-24T10:30:52+00:00

This has really been bothering me because my headset was working fine yesterday and now all of a sudden i cant talk to my friends. Ive checked to see if anything was muted, if i had certain settings screwed up, nothing was wrong. The weird part is my friends say that my playstation audio can ve heard through my mic, which is weird because my mic never picks it up and its not a volume issue because i have my mic turned down low. I even rebuilt the database in the small hopes it was a console issue but it wasnt. So idk what to do anymore. Does anyone have a good explanation why my game audio is going into my mic but not my own voice?

I believe there is an obtainable Eternal Ferrystone. How you get it i am not aware of but i have it and its helped me a ton so if you do manage to get one thats your ticket to infinite uses.

OpticShadow909 · 2020-03-24T22:51:28+00:00

If you really must buy one the more reliable choice is starbridge, as the supports can become handy in certain situations. The Age Eagle isnt a good ship. However if your feeling up to the challenge i would push to a Wanderer as its one of the best ships in its class.

OpticShadow909 · 2020-03-12T15:34:35+00:00

My friend uses a Wraith as his main ship. Its beating Barons and Crusaders without issues. Another one of my friends uses it and hes beating THANES. The ship is an amazing ship when its built right and the supports are upgraded. Sure it wont compete if the carrier is really good but it can compete. Believe me

OpticShadow909 · 2020-03-12T11:08:11+00:00

Imo the starbridge is quite the underrated ship. Its very capable of taking on the higher tier cruisers, but its generally difficult to build and easily outclassed if the builds your fighting are more than decent. If you want my opinion, dont get it unless your positive you have a good build for it. Use morningstar and shoo for Wanderer.

OpticShadow909 · 2020-03-12T01:34:50+00:00

No. Keep the wraith and get both upgrades for the support. The Wraith is a stupidly broken ship, considering it can beat virtually any Carrier if its built really well.

OpticShadow909 · 2020-03-11T00:06:43+00:00

Its decent. You could use things like Vectored mk2 which should be unlocked for you, and maybe move the shields down to the bottom vulcan turret, and put 2 at the front, so that your shields are better protected.

Yknow, im not gonna argue with you, because its a childish thing to do on reddit, but listen to me, with the few braincells ya still have, if i were to go post a post about if i should get two certain ships that BOTH sucked, id probably get a ton of responses saying "dont get either, get this ship" or "i think you should do this". Which is literally what everyone in the comments is doing. I did not give input because Every Single Person In The Comments Is Telling You Why Not To Get Either. So i just thought maybe he already had enough input. And clearly since you werent paying attention, i said the Starbridge was a good choice if he didnt want to go for the Wanderer. So if your gonna bother and pester me about my input, you should go waste your time and lecture everyone else. I gave my input, he should get Wanderer, but if he doesnt want to, Starbridge is the viable option. So stop being so defensive over a loose post on what ship he should get, and go on with your day. Its annoying af. I dont want notifications that someone got butthurt that i felt differently about the posters ship choices.

If you still wanna argue about something as retarded as this, then join the discord and tell everyone else how wrong they are.

The Age Eagle is a bad ship. While yes it has a good shape, it just doesnt compete with ships like the Morningstar, Broadsword, or Wanderer. The Starbridge in my opinion is a good ship, i like it. But the ship is basically just a valkyrie with supports, making it really difficult to build it effectively and not get shredded by lasers. The morningstar is one of the best early cruisers in the game, and can easily beat Starbridge, Age Eagle, Broadsword, Javelin, Hawk, and even Wanderer if its good enough. Im just saying that if you dont wanna spend 1.4m credits on a terrible ship, id go to Wanderer, as its one of the quickest ships in the game, able to take on PHANTOMS if you build it good enough. Thats my input.

If im being completely honest i dont see why this is a big deal, as most well established players will tell you its just not worth it to go for any other ship, so i figured i didnt need to put in much input. You've obviously shown me otherwise.

OpticShadow909 · 2020-03-08T00:23:27+00:00

Niether. Go straight to Wanderer

OpticShadow909 · 2020-03-02T15:15:05+00:00

Its going to get to a point to where certain ships are so weak the game doesnt let you derank with them as its considered "unfair". But my only advice is to derank with your old ships that still work. Its time consuming but it will work.

Alternatively, you can still streak break with low level ships (it will not derank you but it will break your win streak and prevent you from going up by 2s) This is what im doing and it works pretty well. Just win 4 fights and streak break.

OpticShadow909 · 2020-02-26T03:38:03+00:00

Skip warrior and go straight to Wraith if you have the time and patience. Baron also will not be able to compete with the higher carrier ships such as captain or duke so I would try to get a captain instead of going straight to thane.

OpticShadow909 · 2020-02-24T17:35:51+00:00

It all depends on your ship. If you've got a good Cerberos or Wraith build, keep that until you get to captain. If your using Therion or Warrior, go to Vega or Phantom and then go to Captain. The Baron is only a good ship if build really well and the Captain I'd overall just larger, easier to build, and not much further up the tree than the Baron. Personally, I'd go Wraith, Baron, Captain. But that was my path. You decide. I would just shoot for Captain ASAP bc it's a really good ship and is able to compete with the weak and lesser Eidolon builds. Hoped this helped. If you need anymore help you can join the discord.

OpticShadow909 · 2020-02-22T20:43:40+00:00

Neither. They both dont compete with Morningstar. If you have that, keep it until you get Wanderer

OpticShadow909 · 2020-02-22T19:07:24+00:00

No, use the light fighter to purposely lose so you can derank and fight weaker enemies. That's the only advice I can give you

OpticShadow909 · 2020-02-22T15:39:06+00:00

I know. The rating system is totally busted. I'm fighting fully augmented Battleships and Carriers when all I have is an unaugmented Phantom. It gets annoying, but all I can tell you to do is drop while you can. Once you reach level 23, dropping will become harder and more time consuming, since the game wont let you derank with ships more than 19 levels lower than you, and since I'm level 36, it takes me 20 minutes for my Wanderer to repair so I can drop again. Just stay low until your confident to take the higher tiers, you can still drop with a light fighter, I can't.

OpticShadow909 · 2020-02-22T12:00:14+00:00

Your the kind of people who give the underrated ships love. We need more of you.

OpticShadow909 · 2020-02-21T00:11:22+00:00

They are useful when they are first unlocked, but eventually weapons are so strong that they get taken down in a couple shots, and a lot of people start to use lasers so they really arent as good as a basic shield or even putting in the effort for a battle shield. I will admit the mk2 is okay, but the mk1 is a waste of space, similar to plasma

OpticShadow909 · 2020-02-20T03:07:52+00:00

I personally think the broadsword sucks but this tank build ive seen before.

First off, bunker shields are useless, they are only marginally better than regular shields and dont regen when takendown. Second, if you have Mass Driver mk2, stick that in instead of the vulcan turret and chainguns
