My wife actually got mad when she found out that CIG was using "verse", she is a big Firefly fan, and didn't think CIG had the right to take it.

I totally agree with her. I'm a Firefly fan too and I find it annoying that CIG have hijacked the word :mad:

What a mess this thread as become.

1st things 1st:

If your friend wants something "new and different" you shouldn't really recommend ED since the flying is not that "different" from flying in atmosphere, aka planes in space.

It's different from what he's playing, and that's FSX and soon DCS. :rolleyes:

AC controls maybe be strange and unnatural at the first glance, but theres a lot of depth in it and the Physics are much more accurate with what "should" happen in space.

Actually, physics are not correct, especially for yaw movement, which is too fast and would require engines size of main thrusters to be mounted on both sides of the craft.
It's something you need to pull your head out of the sand to completely understand and accept.
Here, tell him he's wrong.

But hey i understand that is uneasy for the so called "expert pilots" with their fancy hotas system to feel so out of depth. Guess the saying "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." has some truth in it.

You're now just plain insulting my friend, which tells a lot about you.
He actually is an expert pilot, so who do you think is more credible of giving better opinions on flight related topics, him or jealous you ?

I have been peeking at this thread from time to time and since I downloaded the free SC demo I thought I'll share my opinions.

As a final thought: Looking at KS, the game reached it's funding goal in the last Q of 2012. So, in nearly 2 years RSI got LOADS of extra money and all they managed to come up with is this? One word: MEH.

Nice review and I concur.
I was really hoping that SC would be shaping up better than this, but I guess that's the risk of crowdfunding it...
Last hope is in the upcoming patches...if they don't get delayed again. :rolleyes:

I guess somebody didnt get the joystick they wanted for Christmas :rolleyes:

Edit: I just watched the 'round the verse' vid 11 as was mentioned earlier and found it strangely cringeworthy to watch. The presenters really need to get a charisma injection. Was also suprised that it was mostly an overview of how the recent promotional videos were created - where is the exciting stuff dammit!?

I have been spoilt by Josh Parnell's Limit Theory developer updates...

CH Fighterstick, throttle, pedals owner here. As I've written before, still unsurpassed by any other HOTAS setup, even the ultra-high end stuff like the Warthog.

Sad that all that fancy equipment will be outperformed by an MS Intellimouse in SC.;)

[EDIT]psyron, that happens to be my exact desktop wallpaper . . .

Maybe aiming, but not in manuevering the ship. Both have pros and cons.

In racing i doubt mouse will be more functional than joystick :p

damn they should just let Travis Day or David Hobbins talk for 30 min. instead of ATV.

Agreed , but i think all the "productive" (wingman and stuff) guys were removed so they could be focused 100% on-game stuff instead of "reporting" it, Sandi , Ben an that Hobbit dude from marketing have enough spare time i guess.

I dont like watching it whennever they talk about random stuff or try to be funny, if its not about the game progress i dont really care.

I´m basicly ok with the messing around (still miss wingman though), but those two raise the quality quite a bit always an interessting insight into design and game design.

Propably better to have the talent working on the game than wasting their time on air though :D.
