What IS the proper protocol to create an official TOG group in an MMO with the support of this website to go with it?

First of all, I think the game has to go live before an official TOG group can be created. Remember we're still only playing a beta, and no proper launch date has yet been announced. This doesn't mean you can't set up a wing in order for us all to find each other during the beta, but it's probably not a good idea to use the TOG name for this without official approval.

Speaking to a Mod the other day, I was told the first step is usually to have a public subforum set up for the game. This could be done before launch, as we can see with SW:TOR, but there has to be enough interest in the game to warrant it. I don't think BSGO is quite there yet (see this thread regarding another game to get an idea), but the proper method for making such a request when the time has come should be to post in the TOG Operations/The Desk forum.

By the way, those of you having problems getting into the game and so on, don't forget to report your issues on the official game forums as well. That's what the beta is for, after all.

Thanks for the info.

I keep getting "an unexpected error has occured" and can't register for an account. I'd love to give this a shot and play with you guys.

Have you downloaded the Unity Player and installed it already?
What time of day did you try? Everything was down earlier today (Feb 17) to upload a patch.

Hi guys,

Just looking for some advice on the 3rd tutorial mission (minning). every time i run this mission i get smashed by the drones. i never seem to be able to take the 3 drones out without being killed.

any suggestions on beating this phase of the mission?

- Pick a target and don't move on till its dead.
- Use your missiles as much as possible by staying just outside the min firing range of 200m while still tracking the target through all its twists and turns. It means delaying turning after the target for a count, for example of 3sec, to let it extend its range beyond the min firing range then sharply tuning onto its new path and firing, before it does the same
- To help do this you might need to match your targets speed, use the button next to dradis which has the two ships side by side. Dont use it though until you are on the tail of your target
- The battle then ends up being a series of u-turns with you in control
- The most dangerous part is the first minute, if you can kill your first target quickly and minimise the damage you receive from the other 2 you should be fine. Once the first one is dead and your chasing the second its much more survivable

Colonial @ lvl 9

ive tried that the problem is that they seem to be able to hit me far outside the range they should be.
i've been finding that their guns can hit me out to a range of about 350 and while im trying to maintain distance from 1 the other 2 get in range and smash me.
with the 2 missile launchers supplied (and loadout you cannot change) i find i simply cannot get enough damage done to take the first target down while under sustained fire from the other 2 drones.

fire both missles at once (F key). when they hit they should wipe off 80-100hp so it should only take 3(?) passes to kill target one - the opening pass, the first u turn, the second u turn, next target (cant remember how many hp they have)

keep your mining cannon firing too .. while it doesnt take off much, it might take off enough to make a difference

edit: some ppl say kill one then run until your hit points are restored then kill the next etc etc

just worked my way up to the updated raider .. its sweet having the extra gun and HP
