Which ships to learn the new flight model?

[Blind Owl]

Hello TESTies,

I have a few extra credits kicking around. My thought is to use them temporarily to play around in 3.5 (3 more days) to learn the new flight model.

As such, I'm taking recommendations from those of you who've flown with the new flight model.

I'm thinking light fighters, specifically the Gladius and the Arrow, although I'm open to suggestions.

So, what ships would y'all recommend that will give me the full feel for the new flight model? Think "learn to fly", as I haven't really been in game in months, if not years.

Cheers,

Owl

Pick a smaller and more nimble ship!

Arrow flies pretty good in the new flight model and feels good from my testing, I preferred flying it compared to a gladius

Perfect. Thank you.

I recommend a completely different direction, try out the new flight model in the largest ship you can get your hands on, it is quite interesting (to me at least) how it impacts ships like the Caterpillar (when it isn't overheating like a virgin otaku on a nude beach near the equator.)

 

[Thraesh]

Larger ships do fly better in the new flight model but it was more the fact he was asking about light fighters. I would recommend a larger ship on this current flight model as well if it was just for general use

Aurora!

Lol, and here I prefer the Gladius. But both are great ships especially with the new atmospheric flight.

Hmmmm. Interesting. I think I may have a Connie loaner hanging about.

But bigger than that, I'll have to hit up my TESTies.
Soon. (TM)

I'll try them all. I'll just buy and melt every couple days I reckon.

Just make sure you take it into atmosphere like around Arc or Huston.

I've tried the Sabre, Arrow, Hornet Heartseeker, Gladius, Avenger and a couple other, but these stood out specially Sabre and the Arrow but then Sabre is in another price range and not always available.

So I would go with the Arrow.

CHEERS!

You also have 5 million credits in the PTU, so there are a few smaller ships you can just buy in game. Cutlass, m50, Buccaneer etc.

The Gladius was the ship used for the first week+ to test the Flight Model.........Best choice to start.
Most ships should be aviailable for you in the PTU........
Remember to use AC Free Flight first to ensure your controller(s) are set the way you like them - keybinding etc.
Enjoy.

I'm a bit confused brother @Blind Owl , I thought that the answer to most TEST problems was almost always BEER.

Pick a smaller and more nimble ship!

On certain moons with low gravity, you can catch some air from zipping around the mounds on a greycat. It's as small & nimble of a vehicle as you'll find in SC + it leaves you with extra change left over for more space beer to drink with pulling off Dukes of Hazard jumps in the 'Verse. (I'm thinking of begging CIG to let 1 of their Devs create a General Lee skin for the Cyclone with a tweaked horn effect to help you get the full General Lee honking experience.)

I picked up a Misc Razor EX just for fun and having a blast with it on the PTU. If only the servers would stay up for more then 30 minutes at a time

I think any nimble fighter would be great at learning the new flight model.

Buccaneer, Gladius, Hornet Ghost, Sabre, Arrow, or Delta.

For advanced learning, grab a racer, Gamma, M50, Razor, or Merlin.

I like flying the bigger ships, so I've been flying the Cutlass, Connie, and Caterpillar. Basically learning to navigate the open C's.

The best way to get more comfortable flying in the new model is to fly. No posts, no debates, just fly. Come back after you get some flight time under your belt.

Kind of wish the Orion sub ship was still the Reclaimer. While the prospector is nice and does allow one to go mining its just kind of lacking in size.
