I'm using the reverse afterburner so much, that i can't fly ships without them anymore.
And on kent vs Nyx:
The Kentauroi has REALLY high acceleration and decelleration if you use the forward and reverse afterburner for that. The Draco also has really high deceleration. Makes it very deadly. The two gun points more on the Nyx don't matter much for me because i can't shoot both gun banks at full power at the same time. So i'm only using the primary bank most of the time, which is the same size for both. And you need to use low power/high range weapons on the Nyx most of the time, because you can't close in to use hight power weapons. I rarely run out of missles on the Kent, so the larger missle capacity of the nyx doesn't matter much for me either. The fact that the Kent has three missle banks compared to the Nyx's 2, on the other hand, does matter to me. The smaller profile of the nyx is offset by the greater speed. Both ships move by about the same amount of ship-lengths per second. And you can evade most missles on the kent without using the burner or countermeasures.
So for me Nyx vs Kent boilds down to: 50% more armor + smaller profile vs 50% more speed + reverse afterburner.
While the gtva arsenal is more diverse, the rapier combines the best attributes of the keyser and prometheus. The GTVA has no weapons that are that good.
What about the Atlanta? Will it get glide mode in r2? Would like to experiment with that.
Another function which i use very often is weapon/missle switch. So i'm often really annoyed with the weapon switch delay. You know, I don't like my weapons to lock up on me in a dogfight.
I don't have problems with Key rollover. I'm using the mouse for turning. (mouse sensitivity really high)
