Piloting skills

Having watched nearly all the Alpha videos, I am delighted to see such a range of piloting skills on display ranging from people unintentionally ramming asteroids to the use of yaw in combat. Looks fab.
 
Why put all these details into a game if you can't fly in to them? I'm sure I won't be the only one to try a Disaster Area sun dive re-enactment.:D

At the moment the sun is out of reach, but who know what will be available in the next alpha build or the betas;)
 
Yeah the skill range is nice. I'll enjoy encounters in PvP because you can never know how good your opponent is going to be.

The learning curve is great, the earlier missions are a good introduction but the later mission are hard. I use a gamepad and haven't had any issues but I'm going to save up for a joystick!
 
I already am!

23 years ago I was Elite, but now I'm afraid that at first I'll be fly like a frog in zero gravity.:)

You have described me in one, I've been playing for days and only just got the aircraft to move forward :)

You don't need to be told the game is breath taking already and this is the Alpha!

I've deliberately rammed and avoided to see the results. The way the shields clash and the effects are rather nice. :)

Shok.
 
I've been watching all the video's as well particularly Kerrash Landing's great vids and have rapidly come to the conclusion that I will have to invest in a good quality Joystick. Thank god the christmas sales are just around the corner.
