So.. I got a little carried away in the latest sale and have three ships which, largely, do the same job: Super Hornet Sabre Freelancer MIS Two of these I already owned. Yes, they all do the job (pew pew) in different ways. MIS steers more like a brick and you can't see out of the window, but...

Thanks for the replies, all. Appreciated.

My F1 and F2 keys have stopped working in game and steadfastly refuse to pull up the mobiglass. Looks to be a known bug for which there is no quick fix solution. Perhaps a rebind might work, thinking about it (but not to an F key, tried that). Anyone come across this before? Asked for a...

Loving it! What surprised me most is the fast recharge on the shields - it's even more tanky than I suspected.

I have a Sabre, a Super Hornet, and the MIS (and *cough* a few others not relevant to this chat - don't tell the wife). Of the three, I use the latter on bounties. It just seems far less effort. From what I read, two! And a third in the land vehicle bay if backed up very carefully..

May have bought one.. I've worked out: 1. You need to switch the EMP on before it will fire (default is off). 2. A press of the right button charges, another fires it (and it seems you can fire before it hits 100%. I'm not clear on A. The delay before it can be reused. I think I hear a...

Sounds like I don't need a new ship. I need to pimp my ride! (I was looking for an excuse to buy something new I suspect. ..Still tempted to buy a Razor to squeeze into my Carrack..).

That is, in fact, above average! Edit: By which I mean, above the average number of eyebrows - not above the average quality of applicant!!

Mostly using the MIS at the moment - seems middle of the road in all departments, save if I need to, I can launch a belly full of missiles at anything red on my radar.

I don't really have an answer to that - trying to strike a balance. I may have asked a question that doesn't really have an answer - anything that gets to the outskirts fast might take an age to get into the atmosphere / to dock in space, and the reverse might be true too..

Sometimes.. quite often, in fact, I just want to get from A to B. I'm wondering what the best ship to do this would be - a tradeoff between high speed in and out of 'warp', atmospheric handling, and range. Anyone have any thoughts? I have a loaner Drake Herald at the moment and that seems...

Interesting video; so there's no guarantee you'll (currently) be able to remove skins if applied outside of the game. Got it!

Thanks for the replies folks. :o7:

Thanks all - so to be clear - swapable and reusable then?

If you buy three, can you switch whenever you like, back and forth, or are they single use items? Thought I'd read it was the former but I can't find the post.. Thanks in advance!

Yet another cracking free game I've added to my Epic collection I'll never find the time to play!

Out of interest, how do you joystick users handle the on-foot sections of the game? Love the idea of getting a decent stick setup for flying (especially non gimbaled) but I'd need to switch to mouse and keyboard when I left the ship. Is this what you all do?

Blimey. I played the original on the Dreamcast back in 2001. Be interested in hearing how this is - though whether / when it makes it to Europe is another matter.

I'm not. I'm looking for a purpose for luxury ships (as per title!). If they are meant to show off in, I'd at least want them to be properly shielded.

I was looking at a few of the luxury ships and trying to work out whether I should buy one. I want a ship that's fast. Or serves a purpose (mining/exploration/salvage/medical etc). Or is tough as old boots / is armed to the gills. Or all of these! The luxury ships don't seem to tick any of...
