tummiswtor Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Better would be republic pilot outfit but okay, another pet to collection Edited October 2, 2020 by tummiswtor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nee-Elder Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Better would be republic pilot outfit ... *not yet ANOTHER useless mini-pet (which cause bugs in Ops sometimes) to an already over-flowing collection* QFE (with augmented paraphrase) ---- Also, BioWare, i appreciate your gesture & all but you might want to re-write the following 1st line of that 'article' paragraph: "We have all been counting the days until we could jump into our very own cockpits in a galaxy far, far away! The day has finally arrived " ...Because uhh most of "us" have ALREADY been piloting virtual ships for years in 'Xwing: Alliance' (still superb) and also of course in SWG's JTL (still best ever) as well as your unfortunately lacking GSF ( i guess now we know why Disney woudn't ever give u guys resource$$$ to expand & evolve GSF now, huh? 'Squadrons' takes priority? What a bummer for SWTOR. ) SWTOR deserves better imo. Like oh, i dunno, some PVE missions for GSF for *10th Anniversary* celebration?

Pietrastor Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 How about an update to GSF instead in honor of Squadrons Bioware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stradlin Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Better would be republic pilot outfit but okay, another pet to collection Psh, heresy. Starfighters for everybody! Squadrons seems awesome btw. Very well done flight model. I much hope it proves a huge hit. I'd love a sequel with huge single player campaigns, mission editors and the like.

Stradlin Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) Squadrons has a SP campaign too IIRC. Yes..One that lasts 6-8 hours no less. While it might not compare to some 90's classics, it is still like 2 x more duration and story and moving parts than I expected. Still, gimme more!

FlameYOL Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Pet looks nice but it would've been good to have a Vanguard squadron color scheme for GSF as well, maybe one for Titan squadron. Just an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an idea. Might come out as a cartel item, we haven't had any new GSF CM stuff in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoyingly, it doesn't really "understand" my Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS 3, and the Steam Big Picture mode doesn't either(1), so configuring the buttons is a bit ... fraught. Looks drop-dead gorgeous, though. (1) It doesn't really understand that it's a flight stick with throttle rather than a gamepad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks drop-dead gorgeous, though. (1) It doesn't really understand that it's a flight stick with throttle rather than a gamepad. Really?oO I got thrustmaster HOTAS and have noticed no issues with it. Have you checked out bindings? Even the wonderful pedal bit works perfect. I love t-16000m+the throttle. Button layout of throttle is -perfect- for space flight. No throttle handles Elite:dangerous as well as Tflight. Shame it has the..flimsy and cheap feel underneath that perfect button layout though. Is unfortunate how the t-16000m stick itself is prone for breakdowns. So I switched to X-52. Bought latter without knowing you can't plug the joystick directly to PC; If you wanna use x52 stick, you need to have the throttle plugged in as well. I dislike the throttle of x-52 and wanted to keep using my T.Flight instead. So..uh, now I have this batsith insane situation where I got X52 HOTAS plugged in purely to get access to X52 joystick. Throttle of X52 sits in corner, RPing a paperweight while T.Flight throttle is the one I actually use for Squadrons. Despite the sheer insanity of having 2 x throttles plugged in, thurstmaster throttle seems to work fine. I think you could, in theory, play this game with 2 x throttles. ...Def some bugs here and there though: X-52 stick has some buttons the game just don't recognize. edit, we prolly talking about different thustmaster toys.

RameiArashi Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) Never say "We have all" about anything. All have never agreed on anything. I have zero interest in this new game. Have you guys forgotten about Commodore Paradax? She's been coming up to speed for nearly a year. Still at 1. you are going to transfer over the Admiral's points right? And cannot accept crates.

Mine is the HOTAS *X* (pitched at PS3 players), which doesn't even have pedals, just a stick, a throttle, and a host of buttons. http://www.thrustmaster.com/products/tflight-hotas-x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
