I really like flying the eagle mkII but... the noise the drives made almost made me shoot my brains out with one of the personal weapons I was smug uhmm transporting
This indeed. Because of it, I'm using the imp eagle. I know, it's close but no cigarI love the Eagle Mk II but I wish it had a tad more choice in weapons - not having access to plasma accelerators, many Power Play weapons, and some unlockable ones is making me sad.
Drive "audible signatures" are subjective in their appeal. Flying an Eagle doesn't bother me at all, but the horrible noise that the Adder and Asp make kills those ships for me. Yet when I brought this up, lots of people came to the defense of this horrible noise (music to them, I guess).I really like flying the eagle mkII but... the noise the drives made almost made me shoot my brains out with one of the personal weapons I was smug uhmm transporting
I'm glad they toned down the juddering of the ships when boosting. The Vulture for instance was unplayable for me, same as some of the Lakon lunchboxes. I just could not boost and look at the screen at the same time without my world going whirl.Drive "audible signatures" are subjective in their appeal.

It's too bad we can't change sound effects like we can visual effects. We can change the color of our smoke, so why not the sound?
And I wish there was a possibility to add a little bit of it in VR, as well as a very slight reacting of the viewpoint to acceleration/deceleration/lateral and rotational movementI'm glad they toned down the juddering of the ships when boosting.

Come to think of it, or did I tone it down because it is a setting?
Not sure anymore...
Setting is reduce camera shake in display options.I'm glad they toned down the juddering of the ships when boosting. The Vulture for instance was unplayable for me, same as some of the Lakon lunchboxes. I just could not boost and look at the screen at the same time without my world going whirl.

not much, but a subtle hint would add a lot (make it a slider in settings) ... ok, going off on a tangent here, back to topic ... because the Eagle MK II feels great in VR!

I think you might be surprised how nauseating that might be. Even though it would be reacting to player control, moving the VR view without direct input by the player is rough, and those zooms and shakes would be quick and disorienting for sure.
I wouldn't have the t9 any other way. I love when the massive ships feel like massive ships.I know what I am setting myself up for, and I fully understand that it would not be for everyone, but I also love racing the SRV over rough terrain, which has a similar effect (don't like stable horion and auto-blackout settings).
But we are going wildly into Offtopic. sooooo ...
I also like how the different ships are handling - Type 9 feels just like a fat trader should handle in my mind, but the Eagle ... the Eagle is king.
try a cutter with G5 dirty drag drives and FA-off...I wouldn't have the t9 any other way. I love when the massive ships feel like massive ships.
I'm far too proud of a fed to consider unlocking a Cutter I'm afraid.try a cutter with G5 dirty drag drives and FA-off...
