Re: My first 12 hours impression

The x-wing viewpoint is to high in my opinion

I agree with this. Likewise with the Y-Wing, I seem to recall. The pilots had a rather obstructed view out of the cockpit, as shown here:

While in FS, you appear to be sitting so high that your your helmet halfway through the cockpit glass. Probably a gameplay feature, but I'm not sure if I like it or not.

Re: My first 12 hours impression

my experience

first of all: great, damned work!

some cents:

1) i see the textures as a medium detail even at high setting. Is it possible to have higher texturing details?

2) as told by other the interior od the Destroyes is too dark and it's easy to fall down

3) maybe the star fighter default view should be the one without cockpit (i have to press always F9)

4) there is no sniper rifle?

Re: My first 12 hours impression

there is a sniper rifle... I have used it and I have been shot at with it. I can't remember exactly where it is, I think it is the last weapon on the assault guys list... The first class and the description says something like, "With marksmanship getting better, they have been issued the MK47 (fake number) Sniper Rifle"

Re: My first 12 hours impression

1. Things will probably be improved over time, I know our tatooine textures have gone through many versions. ISD doesn't has as detailed of textures, but it took a dev (forgot which one) a very long time to do.

2. Its not easy to fall down. If you are falling off the railing in the hanger maybe you dont belong in there. Learn to walk before you fly.

3. No, definitely not, devs worked too hard on cockpit view to just default out of it. In my opinion the camera angles should be changed a bit and players should be LOCKED into either chase camera or chicken pit view. Remove the other views entirely. But thats jsut my opinion.

4. There is a sniper rifle, some server admins have their settings all jacked up and they are not selectable in the customize screen. try out some other servers until you see one that has extra weapons available.

Re: My first 12 hours impression

AWesome ... id have payed £30 for it minus the glitch's/kinks which WILL be worked out in time .. remember these guys arnt getting payed (they shoud, but there not) .. QW just came out the other day and it Stinks (them guys  got payed for it) .. FS is Awesome, its fun, totaly addictive, for me its just the CTD that does my head in (only happens on the non space maps) ..
