Alpha 2.5 is now LIVE!

[Galatoni]

I should be about. I've access to a Gemini which people might want a poke around.

[Sparko]

I need to get my HOTAS sorted first, if it proves easy enough I'll jump on

It's not easy Sparko. They have finally put a red warning if you are about to create a duplicate binding when setting your keys and controls. The only thing is if you choose to over write the existing bind, both old and new remain active and when you're flying that does weird things. Like boost and decouple toggle in my case. It's best to clear out all controls to default then just get your axis sorted out and if there's an overwrite alert, mark it down and go remove it from the old bind. Then I crashed. It looks amazing though, the ships are not easy to fly like Elite for example, the Reliant has a definite inertia effect that needs careful management in an asteroid belt. Feels a bit like Empyrion :narnar:

[Jamoe]

I'll try and get on tonight I jumped on a few nights ago and found some pirate but forgot the controls... que BOOOM.

[Galatoni]

Good laugh last night. In between me bug battling and crashing my ship, random passenger ejection (hurhur) and other 'pilot errors'. Hope to do it again sometime. We should maybe look at getting some pilot training sessions in so you can look at some of the techniques. What you think?

[RogueTaylor]

It was bloody brilliant last night, had a great time and a real laugh. The game is a bit buggy still but by god it's amazing to play, even tho galatoni kept opening the windows and flying out of my ship. It was nice to meet zigzag Aswell but my ship wasn't pleased to see him and decided to send him out to the depths of space on his own... And then the ship decided to fly off and leave me and gal in space alone.... We decided to change ship for a few good reasons.

I would love to do this again with you lot and others it was a good experience but now I want that retaliator. I would love to to do some training Aswell I think I need it

[Galatoni]

Stuff like this could easily be arranged. Just doing some races around the asteroid fields in Arena Commander would be a good start I think. I know we've got a few experienced pilots knocking around. Now might be a good time to get started.

Hell yeah I am free tonight if you want to give this a crack or earn some credits ?

[Galatoni]

I'd like to say yes, but I've got some other stuff on. I'm usually on during the week though, just hit me up on Steam and/or TS.

[BrotherTobious]

Updating as we speak. Is there anything I have configure before I start?  A user.cfg?

[RogueTaylor]

Now worries gala, RL comes before games .... From what I am aware I don't know Toby, I can't really help since I use keyboard sorry man

[Galatoni]

I'll make mine available via a link. Basically it just removes motion blur and some added extras that aren't noticed. I'm on keyboard as well so no extra config for that. I put it into Program Files/Cloud Imperium Games/Star Citizen/Public

I fired this up yesterday - probably the first time I've opened Star Citizen since the first dogfight module was released.

Whoo, impressive. After figuring out how to get my Cutlass off the landing pad (this took a considerable amount of time) I managed to fly out to an objective, blast some pirates and EVA out to some debris to flick a switch. All pretty damn cool if you ask me and a huge step up, especially in feeling immersive, from what Elite is doing.

I could do with some flying practice though, the Cutlass is a bit of a bus to dogfight in (and the HUD appears to be a bit broken on it at this point in time). Anyone want to crew my turret? :flirty:

Nobody? Nobody wants to? That's a shame...
