man! this new controlling is soo damn bad. Now i have to hold 3 damn buttons on my joystick to manuver, plus using the mouse to shoot. Before u just set ur speed and u can move freely and now u have to hold the accelerate button to be able to go to a different direction. It would be best to change it back. Changing stuff like this is making the game bad. Yea it is a bit challanging now but never mess with the controling.

duff, i think you have turned physics mode on. change it back to arcade mode under the options screen. or press the ' key to toggle it while in flight. needing to accellerate constantly to change direction is a part of physics mode.

but physics mode is o so powerfull

yes you do hit a lot of asteroids with it, but in a battle, mmmhhhh powerfull :D

cheers

i like physics mode.. duff seems to be confused as to what is update and what is his finger tapping the ' key while activatiing a wormhole tho :) i rebound my change flight mode key to something else so i wouldn't keep switching back to arcade mode :)

yeah, I changed it to the delete key, but I would really like if they would put in a small sign that states in which mode you are flying, because after a while it get's really difficult to remember if you switched to physics or arcade. Maybe a little P for physics and a little A for arcade, somewhere in your statswindow ???

ooh well, we'll survive :D

cheers

Duffman: Ahh... yes that would explain things. You are used to the 'arcade mode' which is much easier to fly. Somehow you've gotten into the more powerful but harder to use 'Physics mode'. 'Arcade mode' is still available, just check your controls for the button that toggels it and also change your preference to 'Arcade mode'.

Once you gain some more experience, you will see that both modes have there place.

LMAO!!! Ooops, Duffman.

=)

It would be funny if they were to force physics mode in the next release. I can just see half of the vet pilots issuing a lot.

oh! i see. Well thanks u guys. Still strange why did it suddenly changed to physics mode. I mean i never go to options and modify anything. Physics mode is good for shooting ur opponent when he is behind u and u are moving away from him. But still I like arcade which is easier to move. Anyways my bad and sorry for saying about worst update.

BTW, I don't know if they already modify avilon torpedos in this new update but they really should make those torpedos go a bit faster. They are useless. The only way to hit the guy if he is chatting and not paying attention or when he is close to u but then again u will demage urself too in a big way. If at least they can double the speed of that rocket or the best way is to have it like this... U fire the torpedo and when its far away from u then u press the same button to detonate it. This way they can be in use. If not then at least add a new weapon for those torpedos because they are just there for nothing. No one is buying them. Well they are usefull for the frigate and thats it. Anyway thanks for the physics mode thing :)

duffman: Clearly you have not fought the frigate yet.

I did fired several torpedos and thats about it

It has about 700khp health, so several torps is nothing.

duff, you don't have to go into options to modify arcade/physics.
As others have mentioned, all it takes is accidentally hitting the ' key.

The avalons will probably never be faster as they are not intended as a dogfighting weapon.

Well, back on topic. Wait, there is no topic. Carry on valiant warriors!
