I didn't read the link yet (just finished the patriots game and need to go to bed) but what did you see that might possibly affect the Avenger? I just upgraded to it and love it...hope not to lose something.
Just a short synapses of what I saw (I'm probably missing stuff so don't take this as gospel). I haven't read through all the text yet, just watched the video.
They are adding multiple control authority modes for various flight segments. I.E. Precision for landing maneuvering, asteroid field navigation, etc. Scaling up to high speed transiting. Also they are modifying the control mathematics. It sounds like they are trying to decrease the lag felt during certain maneuvers (like slowing down) trying to make it more realistic and offer more adjustablity. They are also adding additional components (values) to the calculations taking place as well as modifying the max speed so it can be increased beyond rated max based on acceleration and sub-components. Adding in afterburner too in addition to boost.
They say the feel of all the ships will change.
Just another step along the way...
Now I'm wondering if you will be able to steer a Retaliator at a cap ship in cruise and eject right before impact....
I could see that being pretty comical from the cap ship perspective. All these ships whizzing by you (missing). WTF was that? Or coming across a ship somewhere that's unmanned and out of fuel drifting. A leftover from the pilot bailing out and failing to hit the target.
