Flight assist on or off?

Does this give a much better advantage in combat when off? or is it just a ego thing about being able to control the ship without the assist?

Can someone post the pros and cons as if it is going to be the future of skilled combat, I am thinking of turning it off now and practicing.

Also, does anyone have a joystick profile for a extreme pro Logitech that they want to share?

Bye the way, great game and brings back memories of childhood. Cant wait till planet interaction and more varied instances come but from the few hrs played, im having a blast. Just worrid that I maybe should start flying with flight assist off to get anywhere any good for potential clan type matches or large scale instances?

from what i under stood it just counters thrust, so if u thrust up, it thrusts down so you stay level.

FA off for me

When you fly with FA off your ship can pivot on its axis which effectively means you can change facing quicker than you can with FA on. With FA on your turning circle is bigger as the thrusters have to fight against the ships momentum.


Isinona does an excellent tutorial on how to fly FA off..

I mostly use FA On but I do use FA Off sometimes for turning back while keeping my same tajectory or some other maneuvers

Thanks, I will look up the tutorials and start practicing. I assume that due to the interest in Beta where players flew around stations with FA off that the devs will bring something in for them to do it some more e.g. instance related for the elites :)
