Combined Tier Battles may be a mistake

[Chessalavakia]

They make the fight too difficult for those on the lower and and in objective matches with captains they can be crippling. I was just in a match with a LVL 1 Captain as a T2 they died in under a minute because they lacked the experiance of T2's and the ship of a T2. I really like the game but having stacked battles can take away from the enjoyment. I'd rather have a little longer in que time then a stacked battle.

Thank you for the time I am really enjoying your game.

Man, I can only imagine how mixing T1 and T2 could kill all the fun. There is an enormous leap of experience between those tiers, since T1 is borderline casual and I remember how different and harder T2 was compared to it. This will most likely turn down a lot of new players, sadly.

I agree, mixing Tier was a huge mistake. I enter one game today... half my team was T1, their team was entirely T2... We lost. They really need to get rid of this idea, and play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game for themselves

I also disagree with mixed tiers. If they really like this idea for whatever reason then maybe make it a seperate battle type or optional matchmaking filter etc... Because I don't see how any one in a ship below T4 stands a chance. I didn't see a problem with same tier match ups. Yeah, optional would be best if they wanna have the realistic battle feel for players. Because in real life (if space ships fought in real space) you would have all ships big and small fighting in battles and wars. It would'nt be fair buts that life and reality. But this is a game and fighting in my T2 vs overpowered ships is not fun. No matter how long I hold down my left mouse button they are still going to kill me regardless of their skill, its just plain raw power. And that makes losing battles because my ship can't perform regardless of my effort boring and boring sucks. Its a good game the way the battles were before is my vote.

Personally I'm mortified they're doing mixed tier battles now :c T1 is the most fun IMO, just fly into the middle and start blasting. Now all that fun is gone. Not renewing my licence or playing except when fatally bored till single-tier battles are reinstated and they promise not to f*** up like this again. I don't care if T4's can't get a game, give me my T1 fun games back!

I second that. I think that they're mixing the tiers primarily when there's not enough players around in each tier. But this can lead to very, very ugly battles, even with some T3 ships posed against T1 ships. I wish for the final version for a "lowest common denominator" setting: you may only use ships up to the tier of the lowest player rank. That way, skill should show off more than the ship you use. And for those who still need an (unfair) advantage, there's always the premium ships...
