Who needs a hotas when you can pilot 6 degrees by just holding three fingers to a touch screen? 😂

In fairness, it also appears that she's somehow controlling the ship by leaning.

Looks like there's a dpad on her right. Some sort of circular thing she's twisting on her left with the 3 fingers. Maybe there's also pedals.

 

[Northpin]

Yeah, right

For those of us who choose not to go on Mr Zuckerberg's Wild Ride, is there a non-FB source?

"sus" just doesn't seem enough of an reaction.
Also - ew metabook - hard pass.

youtube-dl works well for those. The forum only accepts very small videos, so here it is with lower quality:

Yes I was trying to inject you with viruses.

It's on YouTube, also owned by a similarly data hungry organisation who will probably steal your identity but I'm guessing you'll accept that. Here's a link to the full clip there...

3:20 or so onwards.

Honestly, you don't really need to watch the video to get the context of my post anyway (if you've ever watched star trek).

i dont have a FB account and i dont plan to get one - but that doesnt mean i cannot watch a movie clip here and there if it doesnt ask for login

But can she strafe or do flight assist off manoeuvres? Or drop out of supercruise when the timer reads 0:07? Or throttle down to submit to an interdiction attempt? Does she know where Raxxla is? Has she gathered enough engineer materials to G5 the ship? I somehow doubt it.

That's the problem with Star Trek, it's just not realistic.

Looking at how she’s holding down 5 keys simultaneously with her contorted left hand - yeah, that’s definitely m&kb controls they’re using

You can get 6D of freedom with just two fingers:

I returned my Spacemouse as I couldn't get used to it at all.

P.S. They used them to control the Rocinante in one (?) season.

What I found funny was she was barely moving her right hand throughout, just leaning left and right a lot.

At least it's better than the Chris Pine Star Trek movies when they pretended barcode scanners were joysticks.

That’s the accepted method for driving games in my household!

Ortegas has got that sensitivity cranked up to the max to match their l33t skillz, obviously

Next week, Enterprise 360 no-scopes a Gorn warship while Ortegas implies the Gorn matriarch’s affections are of the negotiable variety.

Striking resemblance to the Avenue 5 bridge & crew. Snazzy, cool, and good looking.

Ship is actually controlled by competent crew elsewhere.

I've wanted one of those for years. I just looked them up ... they are INSANELY expensive.

fun fact: a larger version of this 6dof controller (the 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Pro) was used as a cockpit prop in "The Expanse":

This clip sums up very well all that is wrong with modern hollywood filmmaking (and TV production) in general, and SciFi in particular. This makes me so not want to see this it is almost comical. Also, they really need to stop milking Star Trek. I think it's done.

Advanced stuff. Old German SciFi shows used shower heads.

Relax, her controller wasn't plugged in. Her older sibling was actually steering the ship.
