I absolutely LOVED Xenothreat and thought that was a really nice taste of what this game has to offer in the long run. But I also agree with the above that the emergent gameplay often offers some of the best experiences. My siblings and I were once all playing together and had to drive off...

For years I've said if you play the game for a week and still like it, the Titan is by far the best value starter ship, and I still stand by this. I also then standby the NEXT ship worth spending IRL$ on is a Cutlass, if you're still into the game after ~6months and are interested in dabbling in...

FWIW I've had a random Arrow FOREVER, at least two maybe three patches. I think it first showed up last November for the Expo maybe? I also have 2 Archimedes, but here I'm fairly certain the second one showed up shortly after I first dicked around with un/re-docking with my Phoenix (back...

Right, just this, but when I look down at the corner and lean forward to bring my view close to one of the cockpit MFDs to interact with it, it's tricky to hold my head still enough and then simultaneously use the mouse to click on anything on the MFD. I can do it, but it's hardly easy/natural...

Ok, so mine's here and so far working great! Only nitpick I have so far is I'm having trouble leaning in and holding things still enough to click the softbuttons on the MFDs. I can look at/read them pretty easily, but things are a bit sway-y when I try to click on anything.

I actually HAVE gameglass, but to be honest haven't found it that useful. Almost everything it can do in-game I just have mapped to hotas buttons, I haven't actually been able to make it do anything directly MFD related like I originally hopped (set weapons groups, request landing, drag the...

I was pretty intrigued by that video; anyone tried running 2x S5 distortion scatterguns like that along with the two stock gimballed omniskys on a Connie? Any good?

Hot Damn! This is EXACTLY what I've been hoping for, especially compared to TrackIR; I can't wait for mine to arrive on Friday!!! :D Thanks Raven!

Yep, sorta like that, but you're right in that the larger half of the battle is Windows. I currently use phone/tablet for this kinda stuff, but both are slower than desktop power and smaller than I'd like. Plus discord access would be nice and well that runs on the desktop too because headset...

Tired of alt-tabbing in/out of SC whenever I need to visit discord, browser, etc. I'd love to have like a tablet-sized touchscreen where I can access other windows while leaving SC up on the main screen. Haven't really been able to find the right product/way to do this yet though. Anyone out...

What makes you say this? Sure it has some flaws, but like I said I find it a fantastic daily driver; just the other day I did a mixed string of a box mission to Hurston, went down for a bunker mission, gave an uber ride back to PO, and then finished up with a bounty there before logging off...

Thanks for sharing! Ordered mine just the other day (love my TrackIR when I'm using it, but usually too lazy to take the time to strap the junk to my head, or the window behind me screws things up). Really hope I can get it set to work pretty consistently! Don't really plan to use it much for...

Ah thanks Shadow, this is a good thread! While you are absolutely right, I actually DO like playing in turrets, and I also see a future for them in the game. But yeah, buffing them a bit to make them more appealing I think is a great idea. What I like most about turrets is the social aspect of...

We're shifting from crypto to the 'bigger picture' again but I think that's OK. This is a fair observation and I'm actually quite interested in Ploeperpengel's German perspective (wegen der Flagge und Handle, vermuete ich dass du Deutscher bist, oder?) There are several interesting dynamics...

Interested, as long as 2 second pauses for drinks of beer are not frowned upon!

Ok, as a fellow Vanguard lover, I'll bite! Firstly, I know they said in the Scorp Q&A blades to slave the turret, blah blah blah, but I'm still expecting this to have some sort of compromises and the Vanguard to still keep some sort of upper hand in terms of pilot-controlled dogfighting...

So the issue with fusion is that the physics are a real bitch. Works great in the center of the sun because you have both high temperatures and HUGE pressures due to the gravitational field that something as massive as a star creates. But on earth. . . we can't really create pressures on the...

You and I are of like minds, fellow Tester! Disclosure: my brother is a nuclear engineer, so I'm both biased and know what I'm talking about. As far as disposal goes, the spent fuel itself is almost a non-issue at this point. Various types of breeder reactor designs exist to either not create...

I will also add that on the more budget end of the spectrum, I did REALLY like my X52 before I upgraded to the Virpil. I found its throttle shape much more comfortable than any of the TM stuff that I'd tried previously. Remember I have smaller hands, and both the T-Flight and 16000M grips were...

Lol, thanks for that Raven, just checked it out and pleasantly surprised to find out how close my current mappings are to his! One thing I don't see him using though is that you can set different ranges for the two throttle axes. I have them 0-100% when linked for MSFS, but then -100-100% with...
