Those types of tale are best saved for deep space

 

[Nutella33]

Haha I look forward to it, I think I've seen a few of you guys around in a few games before (COH/WOT) so it'll be a laugh

 

[Curunen]

2am stream...

[Raumarik]

We need an SC community Loadout night, seriously it's free and could be a right old laugh..

Anyway yes 2AM, 3AM if you're French, German etc lol

Only thing that im a bit meh at is third person - i suppose this has been dealt with before? Seems a bit strange, all the high fidelity emphasis, then have you flying external view 100 feet behind your ship. Suppose it makes sense for gamepad controllers but still, given the option why would anyone fly cockpit and lose the huge difference in peripheral vision?

 

[LurkingWeasel]

Goddamit, I still have no idea what package to go for. I want to be an explorer who pirates on the side lol.

Cutlass or Freelancer?

Assuming you don't want a single-seat fighter (avenger, 300i...).

Probably cutlass then... the current maneouvering will assist with jump point exploration, has a reasonable hold and is a pirates best friend too...

 

[LurkingWeasel]

Thanks guys, those are the two I'm looking at - leaning towards the Cutlass at the moment alright.

 

[BlizzardX]

I have both the freelancer and the cutlass and I'm leaning towards the cutlass for my main ship, the freelancer for safe route hauling.

I don't think they're actually "playing" in third person, more messing around/testing/show for camera. You have no indicators or anything in third person.
