I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

I was under the impression they were sort of two separate projects.  Sorry.

That's understandable, seeing as how SC fluctuates between being 1 game and 6 depending on what the weather is like.

I've been ganking everyone in sight in the free fly, here's some raw footage of my first run from which you may draw your own conclusions on SC's dogfighting:

The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

Hack amateurs.

Get married.  Murder your spouse.  Part out the body's organs for cash.  Inherit whatever wealth and assets your spouse had, including the engagement ring that you were trying to hock on Reddit.  Set all of this money and materiel on fire.  Write Chris Roberts a cashier's check.  Sign a class action waiver and mandatory arbitration agreement.  Try not to starve to death, while waiting for Star Citizen to release.

I got an even longer session in last night and, well... look, here's the footage from it:


It culminates in a seven-minute fight against a light fighter that I had to break off because neither of us could do any damage through shields, followed by the same thing against another ship for another 20 minutes. The dogfighting is just dire, it's gruelling and takes forever and you never feel like you're making any progress until one of you abruptly explodes. They've had more than two years to fix their core gameplay and they've only moved it through different permutations of **** while they work on the really important stuff: simulating headbob and headbob reduction, and making concept art they can sell for $750.

There is no ****ing way they have made any progress on Squadron 42 if this is the palette the designers have to work with.

very true, i occasionally had to roll and strafe the other way when my shields went down on one side

Did they actually render a part of the helmet at the bottom of the screen?  :wtf:
Way to waste even more screen space for IMMERSION (tm)

Did they hire some expensive VA for the Betty and felt they need to get their money's worth out of her?

A simple UI element would be enough to let the player know that their "Starboard shield is down".

I bet they're planning on selling a no-betty DLC at some point.
