I'm curious who is interested in participating in planned war games where players try out various tactics to see where the surprises are. Requires two "teams" though in some instances a team could be a single player flying a target ship like an HH. So for instance, it would be good to know if...

I think players are going to find the Sentinel with Harbinger kit may become the ultimate bounty hunting bird. You can kill targets at 11km in that setup totally unseen, and unlike the Eclipse, it is fast, can take a hard pounding, can carry more than one, can stay out long and has incredible...

It sounds good to me. There has to be serious consequences for doing crime and getting caught, or the whole verse will be overwhelmed by griefers.

Just wanted to point people's attention to the updates at Hardpoint. No idea if they're in game yet, but HP is listing new stealth components that appear much superior to the stock aboard birds like the Sentinel. In particular, the new S2 stealth components include the "Nightfall" cooler, and...

Amen to that! and I will buy the beers!!!

I thought it was CitizenCon where players challenged the blue circle thrusters and hyped the yellow triangles.

What function on flying a spaceship would use feedback? I can see using transducers for shaking your seat when you take a hit, but when would there ever be feedback in a spaceflight sim from a control surface, etc? I just don't get it. Might make sense for a driving sim, but how with a space...

Okay so this guy is funny! Where are you from and why have you been hiding from the general forum? I want to buy you a beer. . .and Owl will pay for it.

A thread for all your giddy ponderances. . .post them here. Anyone know if they decided to go with the big glowy gold triangle thrusters and yellow accents? They're very TESTishly loving.

Is there a way to use voice attack or a button, to toggle many functions at once? So for example, could you say or click "stealth mode" and the shields, one of two reactors, and all the EM hot stuff like jump drives, would all shut down at once and go decoupled flight; and alternatively say...

I'm still thinking the twist function of the Connie Delta stick is a game changer for anyone wanting to fly an extremely maneuverable bird into a death spiral around a target. Just in case someone wants to try, explaining again from my old Mechwarrior days. . . The ultimate "brawler" maneuver...

I'd like to see how to attach the VIRPLs to a proprietary TEST chair...

VIRPL is top shelf: https://virpil-controls.eu/

Here's a little more background of this guy's evolution on controls. I am still tempted to forego a monitor completely, and go with VR, but I really like the idea of being able to see the sticks when I need to. So despite VR is cheaper than a 49" curved display, I may end up with a curved...

I'm most interested in smallish strike teams--3-7 ships. I get what you're saying, that larger groups need more comm channels, but I'm not sure a common, vulgar strike team needs more comms than an Apollo might provide. If you're coordinating more than a handful of ships, you definitely need...

Agreed. Even if you can stealth both the Apollo and Polaris, the Apollo will be able to go places the Polaris cannot. Of course, if someone spots a Polaris, it is far less vulnerable to attack.

Thanking God you're home safe, brother!

Really it depends upon component slots and antenna mounts. The fact it sports a Large radar is encouraging. Given the choice, I'd pull the turret and put another antenna in. Seems to me though, that one might keep all the bed slots and still have potent C&C ability, so long as one can stay...

I am wondering whether an Apollo would make a good Command and Control ship for a wing of Sentinels intended for deep incursion strikes. I think it really matters the details of what they put out. If they keep the large radar, this is a live option. If they keep a single large reactor instead...
