Hi! PetuniaTomcat Signing On!

[PetuniaTomcat]

I just posted this on the Reddit, but I like redundancy (it's so efficient) so much I'm posting here too!

Did someone say beer? I'm in. Let's get drunk and fly through space!

I just applied to join Best Squadron and am absolutely horrible at this game. Last night it made me cry. Halp me.

I currently have a Mustang Alpha with two Bulldog repeaters and I think I drunkenly bought two BEHRING MSD-221 "MARSDEN" for my wings, if they'll even fit. Who knows?! This game is confusing as hell! They didn't spawn in time for me to install them before I had to rage quit.

Not opposed to buying a Cutlass Black or F7C Falcon to help the cause, whatever our cause is.

ThrustMaster 16000 HOTAS arriving today, but I'm seeing it may be better to play with double joysticks?

I'm PetuniaTomcat and I want to blow shit up--I just haven't figured out how yet. I'm also not opposed to grinding it out to make millions of credits on cargo runs. Cutlass me up!

Pro tip, easiest way to blow stuff up is to crash into it!

I like redundancy

In the UK when they use the term redundancy, they mean you are Fired. (They are so polite here)
Oh yeah, you joined TEST SQUADRON.........same thing. Ha Ha

Welcome to TEST SQUADRON - BEST REDUNDANCY

Thanks, everyone. I'm excited to be here and would love to learn to actually fly this thing.

I've learned this. It's my most effective tactic at the moment. I've found it works especially well if all I want to destroy is my own ship, too.

nope, they won't fit on a Mustang, only rockets on the Delta, no missiles. The rest of the Mustangs.... only guns

The F7C Hornet is a fine ship to blow things up, the Cutlass is good to do a lot stuff inclusive being blown up.

Depends. If you want to do 100% blowing up stuff non stop, dual stick is fine. If you also want to do other stuff, the throttle can come in handy. Why not combine the Throttle and the left hand stick?

TEST has a reputation of blowing its own ships up.

Other stuff is just.. collateral damage.

You almost had me there, until I noticed that you switched TEST and BEST.

Welcome to TEST, mate. :beer:

 

[PetuniaTomcat]

It's official. I'm officially a capital 'K' knucklehead. Does this mean I can drink beers on a Friday night and crash my ships into things now?

 

[Firen]

For the rest marcsand said it

Welcome to TEST @PetuniaTomcat !!!

I agree with a previous post, the easiest way to blow stuff up, especially if but not only if it's shooting at you, is to crash directly into it. As an org, we have excelled at odd angular landings too. sometimes, we've even achieved 3 point landings. That's when the tail of your ship is over there, on top of that hill, the wings are at the bottom, and your cockpit is roughly half way between.

We do like beer though. The real art to this, is doing a "3 point landing" without spilling a drop.

And to think, I almost accepted an invitation from some group named ADI who would have made me do training and tests and pass certifications. Flying my ship into things sounds a bit more fun.
