Firstly, a massive thank you for these videos! Best tutorials I've found so far, especially the controller animation. And to read that you do that by hand is even more impressive. Thanks for taking the time to do it.
Questions from a new pilot who is mostly upside down seconds after takeoff:
1) Your ship has cross-hairs; is this because its an assault ship? I'm trying to fly in the militia scrub ship since its cheaper and it doesn't have cross-hairs, but they look like a good reference point. Just wanted to check it wasn't a setting I'd missed.
2) Your ship seems very responsive. Again, is the responsiveness of your ship due to it being non-militia?
3) Any skills you'd recommend? Thinking of setting up an alt as a pure pilot. |

NB: Just watched the second video to the end, and answered my own questions. Must remember to watch first and ask questions after in future... 3) is still valid mind... |

Thanks for that :)
I'd heard rumours of a pilot suit class, but no idea of if/when that's happening.
I've made an alt to tryout dropships; free SP to maybe unlock the next tier of dropships, see if the additional manoeuvrability makes things easier.
I find myself yanking the sticks around in a doomed effort to make the militia dropship respond quicker.
But good to know that there aren't (yet) any skills which directly affect dropship performance (I was thinking along the lines of "high speed manoeuvring" etc in EVE). I'll do the usual and focus on tank first |

Skilled into a myron
Bought a myron
Crashed a myron
Much more responsive though. I flew for longer in that than the militia lead weights, and was coming to grips with the stuff in the videos. Then I got cocky and the canyon floor put me back in my box.
If you're cash rich then the myron would be my recommend for a learner ship; if they balance the cost down then it would be epic as a starter. |
