Some good some bad in 2.3

[William J Smith]

Hi all

while not a comprehensive review of 2.3, theres good stuff and bad stuff

I like the character creation (grizzled old spece veteran for me) and ship naming multi-crew is a bit of a laugh (not really my cup of tea though)
Big disappointment was taking my 'conda to a planet with 2 crew members, launched a fighter, landed and went to launch the srv and found we couldn't

which kinda ruined our raid on a base

Also.... our characters need hats !! does no one at Fdev play team fortress 2? ( a war themed hat wearing contest)

Yeah, SRV's suck, Im pretty sure FD said they wouldnt be happening at all as well :c (though Im not fully sure on thiscount, someone can correct me if Im wrong)
Bit of a bummer, I was looking forward to them as well

Overall, I like multicrew. I had a great time with a couple commanders in my ship acting as gunner in the Cobra. And a couple others ended up giving me wanted status. Crewmembers setting up their keybindings was a big issue. I decided to keep one gun (gimballed) in case of crewmember issues so I can at least get some shots off and collect that bounty on an NPC.

FD might add a popup dialog window that says something like, "Would you like to search for another crewmember?" after the last one leaves. Also, "CMDR Bill" wants to join your crew, "Y or N" ? The matchmaking system works so well I dont have time to fiddle with the comms panel to shut off MC before it pops someone else in the ship. And we do need to take potty breaks now and then.

..................

The Dophin. Beautiful ship. Beautiful price. And its ship sounds are wonderful. Great job on this.

.................

New camera system. I set up a few keys and joystick axes but have not messed with it too much really. Also I was told the gunner camera is amazing. I'm glad we have these new camera systems.

................

Ship naming. Simple. Serves the purpose for functional ship names like "Fedgrinder" for my Viper that hauls Fed rep data...

................

Disappointment. If a Cobra can handle multi crew so could the Keelback. It does have an SLF , after all. Oh well, I can't have everything.

................

Whoever's SLF I flew and got blown up in yesterday in a CZ, sorry about that. LoL.


Thanks for 2.3, FD.
