    Maverick

    You don't *need* axes to be a better flyer nor will more axes *make* you a better pilot, however in general axes are absolutely *better* than M/KB, and the more of them at your disposal the better. And here's the objective reasons as to why, but starting with the one small advantage a mouse DOES...

    CCU upgrade questions

    This sorta depends on how much you think you're committed 'long term' to the game. I really don't think LTI is that big of a deal, because I think 'in game' insurance will be something rather reasonable. On the other hand, LTI is just awfully nice for peace of mind. Considering the fact that...

    X56

    Wait does this part work?!?

    X56

    Well done! I am FIRMLY of the opinion that any flight sim needs proper axes input to really enjoy it, and think the X56 is a great HOTAS to dive in with. Your life choices are heartily applauded!

    Newbie question: What does planning a Fleet means in SC?

    And to a certain extent, this is ALREADY HERE. From time to time there are special 'dynamic' missions that become available that are designed to make larger groups work together. Keep an eye out for Nine Tails, Jumptown, and Xenothreat missions, as IMO that's the BEST time to jump in a server...

    Invictus / DefenseCon - What did you pick up or change?

    Honestly I think this was a good call. 2 seemingly very solid ships rather than a pretty big unknown. I LOVE my Phoenix and use it regularly, and am also eyeing an Apollo for a possible slot in the fleet. . .

    Invictus / DefenseCon - What did you pick up or change?

    Well shoulda done that one LONG ago, but better late than never, so good call! :like: Pisces is my go-to for claim/hop in/station hop duty! Been sitting on the Scorpius for a while in the 'middle' of my CCU chain up to Polaris, and I'm quite liking so far other than the disappearing-turret bug...

    [OLD THREAD] Introducing Spacebux - A crypto appreciation/rewards token

    I'll bite, cheaper than a SpaceJpeg! 0x63cF1B20985f0f7353b6C6451141081f007C9537

    New ship 😁

    Fit IN or fit ON? Because those two have VERY different answers. . . :D But either way enjoy that Carrack; great choice IMO!!!

    New Star Citizen Scorpius trailer

    Though all that said, I honestly don't expect I'll be flying my new Xwing around as much as my trusty Sentinel. . .

    Ship for a home.

    I know they've *sorta said* that about the bed tiers, but still find it a bit hard to believe that they would actually put a higher tier medbay in an industrial mining ship than the long-distance military explorer. . .

    Friendly reminder that warbond CCUs are a thing

    Aww F*k me, how did I miss a Sentinel WB sale? I would've made good use of that; I ALWAYS like to keep one around for a DD but then also ALWAYS want to use it as a base for the pricier upgrades, so I go through a lot of those damn CCUs! :(

    New Star Citizen Scorpius trailer

    I'll bite: it *could* be more fun! Granted it'd be better of the copilot could do more useful things, like manage power triangle, plot QT routes, fire missiles, etc., but I do really expect that's all planned to come. Some of the most fun I've had in SC was (obviously) running Xenothreat with...

    Ship for a home.

    So to summarize: This part is always true ;) But if you want: More pew-pew = 600i Larger hanger = 890 or Odyssey Cheaper = Apollo Something different = BMM Everything = Endeavor Final thought, in the current game-state I can't imagine why one would spend IRL$ on an 890 over a Carrack...

    Any reason not to apply this CCU chain?

    So I too am on an 'optimized' path to a Polaris, but I've set it up in such a way as to 'stop over' at some possibly fun ships to test out along the way. This plan is slightly old as I've already applied up through the Scorpius CCUs in order to have fun with that new ship for a while. Next...

    Mommy can we get an X-Wing?

    So finally tried it out today and found unlike a 'real' x-wing the convergence of the wingtip laser cannons isn't great, and despite it's good maneuverability, I only land 1-2 of the 4 shots when using S3 fixed. Going back to S2 gimbals for now, but still undecided on cannons vs repeaters.

    Entrepreneur pack is no more :(

    Well, looks like I'm in this for the long haul then, lol! o7

    Mommy can we get an X-Wing?

    I've had such trouble just claiming ships this patch I haven't even been able to pull my out to try it yet!

    New Concept Sale - Legionnaire

    Only a size Small QT drive makes it seem a poor contender against a Cutlass in my view :( Also, isn't it just a ripped off Alliance Chieftain from ED?

    Christmas.

    Horray!!! What Hotas setup did you get? HUGE bump to immersion, and my single favorite hardware upgrade! Be prepared for hours and hours of button mapping though, lol!
