    3.15 is going to bring a Server Wipe!

    Yeah, honestly I'm all for it, but I too think the only thing I'll really miss is my Sentinel! Maybe will just need to pledge for one here at IAE. . .

    how to become a turret gunner

    Oh absolutely, but then again this has been an exciting draw for me all along for SC. Way back in 1999, you could hack Xwing Alliance Multiplayer to allow for one player to fly and one player to be in the turret of the Corellian ships, and although it kinda sucked, I thought that was just the...

    Car-nundrum

    Wait a minute. . . But I'm more of a BMW than a Merc guy, so I'm a little confused as to why you'd be worried about ME ending up with your car. . . :D

    3.14 PTU Wave 1 is out

    Naw, I remain steadfastly optimistic for the reasons I cited earlier. They're doing this intentionally but just for the short term so they can FORCE the playbase to focus on what they need us to do for them this patch: co-piloting, missile mode, and power balancing. If they left the Sentinel...

    Car-nundrum

    Which is why there are a very few dirtbikes that are two-wheel drive (and can drive the front wheel) but exactly zero road motorcycles that do!

    3.14 PTU Wave 1 is out

    While I too am disappointed in the current nerf, I wouldn't despair TOO much just yet. My guess is this partially over-nerfted intentionally for just this patch as a means of testing the new mechanics (sorta how you used to get interdicted EVERY SINGLE JUMP back when they were first testing...

    Car-nundrum

    I am most definitely not wrong, but we're closer in agreement than you might realize, as many of your points are very much valid, though for slightly different reasons: This is 100% correct, but balance (aka weight transfer) is still independent from which wheels are driven. It is instead a...

    Car-nundrum

    *SORT OF* This continues to be one of the most prevalent vehicle dynamics myths out there, so it's important to get the real facts straight. 4/AWD does NOT 'improve how a car handles' or 'cornering ability' or anything of that sort. What it DOES do is improve the grip available *WHEN...

    Car-nundrum

    In my mind this all boils down to one very important fact that you haven't yet mentioned. . . does the WRX have THREE pedals, or just two? The Merc is only a 2-pedal car, so if it's an apples-to-apples thing then I'd vote for the larger more powerful AMG. BUT even all that extra power and...

    The most fun things to do in Star Citizen

    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...

    Extra ships in Fleet Manager/ASOP terminal, besides loaners and temporary free-flys

    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...

    Extra ships in Fleet Manager/ASOP terminal, besides loaners and temporary free-flys

    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...

    Tobii Eye Tracker review

    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...

    Tobii Eye Tracker review

    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.

    Anyone use a portable secondary monitor?

    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...

    Can someone explain how to employ stealth, and the limits of its usefulness?

    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?

    Tobii Eye Tracker review

    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!

    Anyone use a portable secondary monitor?

    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...

    Anyone use a portable secondary monitor?

    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...

    Vanguard wish list

    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...
