- Start date
yea i respawn outside, dunno how to get back in
also getting my mouse cursor showing as well as the hardware cursor
might be ok for practice but I'm not really interested in cqc
the cockpit looks cool though but some of the instruments are very small now
maps look good also, hope they incorporate those assets soon

It will, you can gain a System permit once you reach a certain rank and in game credits for winning matches at some point too.
Oh...My...God.
Fired up the beta last night and loaded up CQC. My head was instantly on a swivel. I don't think I've ever used the range of motion possible in the Rift as much as I did last night. The depth perception also was incredibly handy, as it allowed me to skim structures much closer than I'd dare without it.
I don't think it's an instant win button, because I still died a ton (the condor is made of paper), but I'm definitely better with the Rift than I'd be without it.

Yep, I've got a gross of Neck Braces if anyone wants to buy one.
But....Oh boy is it good with the rift...
Last night I was in the middle of a match and I got suddemly rammed by someone. Weather it was friend or foe I'm not sure. The craft spun out of control as I wrestled with the stick. The spinning slowed and and I came to a stop just as I saw an enemy sidewinder on a collision course merely 10 meters from my bow. Normally when I'm in the rift I keep my composure... I've been playing elite for a pretty long time and most of that had been inside the rift. But this time I actually made a sort of chihuahua noise and jumped back in my seat toppling it backwards. The rift pulled off my face on the way down... Luckily it's OK. I ended up on the floor amazed that Elite can still manage to do that even after so many hours playing. So far CQC is great. I like that I can play my normal file. With the trading and the bounty hunting and the exploring and then pop over and have fast paced PVP combat in CQC.
Yup, I can see doing that myself...

I must admit that when they first announced CQC i was like "meh"
I even got to try it at Gamescom (just so I could get the free paintjob ) and was still "meh" ... Though that was 4K / 2D
When 1.4 beta dropped I was back home in Saudi with my two 980s ready and waiting and I figured it would be a fun experience but not "Eliteish" enough for me - even with the Rift.
i was wrong!
There are no words to describe how ridiculously cool CQC is in the Rift! I love it and admit I couldnt have been more wrong! This could seriously cause problems in my marriage!

I've not had the guts to fire CQC up in the rift yet - but I might just give it a teeny peek
Well you guys sounded like you were having so much fun, I requested a refund on my Horizons pre-order
Just bought the lifetime pass instead and had a blast in CQC, although my x52 pro may think differently
I know we are a little way off but really can't wait to start dog fighting in canyons in Horizons (fingers crossed)

It is a lot of fun and runs much smoother than the regular game. I didn't notice any frame drops or judder for the 1/2 hour I played anyway.
It was more fun yesterday on a regular screen. Just gave it a go in the rift - and it was completely unplayable for me. Judder everywhere
Strange, as recently it's been perfectly acceptable. I'll reboot into another driver build and see if that makes a difference.

I've not had a go in the Rift yet but if it helps me the way it helped you in CQC then its worth a go - you kicked my backside in CQC Deathmatch so often that I had to dock gently for hours! ;-)
