Oh yeah the delay in getting control is a killer died because of that myself and killed people as soon as they spawned.

I got spawned kill 3 times in a row in an X-wing. Two Tie pilots knew what they were doing and were just circling the spawn location. I just gave up. Lost that match hard. They have to give the spawning ship some immunity, make it a random spawn location, or just get rid of that 2 or 3 seconds fly in. All 3 would be nice.

My solution would be to add the autoturrets from BF2...

So basically super-accurate anti air fire at the bases.

Has the beta finished because ive not been able to get onto a server in the uk since about 6pm last night (its midday about 18 hours later now)

edit: it is, i missed the 'finishes tuesday' announcement. **** i'd have played a lot more if i'd have realised they were pulling it so quickly

Yeah, it was a quick beta. Not even a week long.
