Not titchy DLC that only adds a few little things for $5-$10: Squadrons would be better off with a real big expansion that adds a lot for $20. It's how things used to work, and it's what we need to drag the industry back to, with our teeth clamped around the scruff of its neck.

    It's interesting to me - as a non-gamer - how everyone's taking this comment as a gospel truth that the game is just too short as opposed to someone on the internet simply complaining about everything, as is normal. Not to mention no one knows if the original commenter has actually finished the game, or if they're just commenting on the published number of missions. Or whether or not they've had the game for a few months (as a lot of reviewers have). But, no, it's far easier to just preemptively condemn the product without actually trying it. Cool.

    @@sirboomsalot4902 Here's a few ideas to try and fix that overpowered power 1) Have it act as a rare ship to where each player on your team has one chance per dogfight and Fleet battle match to use it. 2) Make the controls a lot harder to control so if you want to play as the Tie Defender, you would have to spend time practicing your control over a ship in the game. 3) Gate the unlock of the B-Wing and Tie Defender to where you have to complete the campaign mode on a certain difficulty mode or get all the medals for every mission. I'm no game developer but that's the best I can think of to make it fair for everyone.

    Here's my review of the game: It looks amazing. Awesome graphics. Ship flying feels pretty good, but I hate doing it with an Xbox controller. Not enough variety. Only 4 different flyable ships per side. I wanted to have as much variety as X-Wing VS TIE Fighter and X-Wing Alliance. Where's the B-Wing and TIE Defender? Where are the Z-95's and TIE Advanced? Where are the Mon Calamari star cruisers and Super Star Destroyers? Gunships? Stations? Transports? So much has been left out, most likely in an effort to make the game balanced, but it also makes it so repetitive with how limited it is. More maps! I have yet to finish the campaign, but I'm not liking that it's only about 6 hours long and contains alot of the same type of gameplay you get in multi-player. I've spent about an hour and a half in it, roughly, and I just did 1 mission after the prologue. Doesn't seem like there's gonna be a whole lot more to it. There's a tutorial to introduce you to fleet battles that wasn't able to be finished. I spent almost an hour trying to destroy the Star Destroyer while it just permanently stayed at 1% hull. I took out every destroyable object on the hull, all the guns, the shield Gens, the power distribution thing, all the spots that showed arcing lightning on the hull, I even tried destroying the engines which doesn't seem like a thing you can do. I even flew into the hanger and tried that. I tried to do everything I could think of and it just would not explode and I couldn't advance. No wonder you get an achievement if you manage to destroy it. You can't start a game with just you and a friend, you absolutely need 5 actual players to fight AI Fleet Battles. 4 minute plus wait times while trying to get into a multi-player game on launch day, when I know it's a popular game and there's no lack of people trying to play it. In conclusion, it's an OK game, and something I would absolutely LOVE to see return to mainstream, but it's not quite polished enough. I want my old Flight Sim-style games with all the bells and whistles. AI squadrons that follow your orders that you issue with buttons or keys, different ways to complete missions, more variety. More choice. More strategy required. This is seriously stripped down from what I was expecting out of it pre-release, but it has the potential to become way better if they put a little more work into it. Edit: I didn't even think about it, but different Era ships would be amazing to have too. I don't care about the sequels at all and I want them decanonized, but how about getting able to participate in the battle of Naboo, or the battle of Coruscant? Republic vs. Separatists? Clones vs. Clankers. I don't know about you guys, but I want to fly a Jedi starfighter. Also, what about independent ships? Slave 1, Hounds Tooth, the Ghost (yeah, I know it turned Rebel), the Outrider, the Ebon Hawk, the Raven's Claw, the list goes on. I also like the idea of having player controlled turrets on ships flown by players. This game just makes the galaxy feel too small.

    The Aviator control layout, or any custom layout that binds pitch/roll on the same stick is BROKEN! Pitch+Roll speed is super slow when you assign pitch and roll on the same stick, but it's full speed when assigned on different sticks (the other first person shooter friendly layouts). This means that anyone who likes traditional flight sim controls will be at a disadvantage because of a bug they won't address. What were they thinking?

    The power converting feature of the TIE fighter really surprised me. I thought that with the panoramic cockpits and shields the X and A Wings would have a massive edge over the TIE fighters, but I actually prefer the power converting over all of those. It's just so satisfying to boost, drift by the enemy, convert power to weapons, hit them still drifting with a laser barrage and then shift power back and boost away. Only thing that is really bothering me especially in VR is how much the instrument panel of the TIE fighters obstructs my vision, I started preferring to track enemies sideways instead of the usual up/down.

    I know people love to hear that there are “no microtransactions” and “no loot boxes” but... I will say that it’s tough for a development team to continually create new content for a game if there isn’t any kind of financial incentive for them to do so. I’m hoping that I’m wrong but I get a bad feeling that the content that’s currently in this game might end up being all the content we ever see. If you want to see more starfighter skins and more customization options appear in the future... well, that might not happen and the fact that people begged them to not have any kind of loot boxes in this game is partially responsible for that.
