Re: Ejecting out of your ship in space

My point is, WTF is the point in ejecting into space? it servers no purpose gameplay wise what so ever.

You win, Preach lol
Still, escape pods for cap ships would be nifty.

Fighters - I'd be quite content with players being locked into them to go to a firey death.

Re: Ejecting out of your ship in space

I'm not adverse to escape pods for capital ships. But small Fighter Ejections seem pointless to me lol

as i said perhaps im a simple man with simple likes and dislikes lol.

You cannot do that because there would be a five second delay, and if you do press the button in time all the pilot has to do is turn around and shoot you.

It would be pretty hard for an Xwing to shoot an ejected pilot, since the lasers are so far apart you would have to line up your sigts right on him and hit him at the exact spot where the lasers intersect.

Same with Bwings and Interceptors.

I think there should be multiple crosshairs on the HUD, one for each gun. This would make aiming easier and the X-wing's lasers wouldn't cross over anymore.

Re: Ejecting out of your ship in space

i dont know if anyone mentioned this or thought of this or not.. but, it would be  awesome if we could have the ability to eject in space after our tie fighter or whatever has caught fire and is about to explode... and have a little rocket seat to fly us back to base... it would make the ejected pilot hard to spot out in space but if you did find him he wouldnt give much of a chase... as this seat probably wouldnt go very fast... so it would be up to you to either fly it to the nearest base or "commit suicide" ...  a great idea... this feature would  make this mod/game really stand out, above the rest, cause i cant remember a game that has something like that.
