Hi everyone thinking about joining the game. My question is..Is flying your ship easy to learn? Never played a game like this before or any flying game for that matter. Will i be able to pick it up quickly?

It's not as easy as a standard shoot-em-up video game. There's a little bit of a learning curve, but it's easier than a flight sim. You'll get the hang of it pretty quickly.

Easy to learn, hard to master :) you don't have to spend a lot of time levelling compared to most other MMO's before becoming a competitive player either. It depends more on your own twitch skills, spatial awareness and strategy.

Welcome to VO wmtyrance. As Phaserlight pointed out, learning to fly is easy, mastering flight is another story. The following links might help you in your endeavor:

Hunting the hive, general tactics at http://www.vo-wiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hunting_the_Hive and tactics for specific bots at http://www.vo-wiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Bots#Hive_Bots

PvP at http://www.vo-wiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Player_VS._Player and many links in the forums here (though I'm not sure exactly where they are).

Good luck! =)
