Renic Member Registered: 08/23/11 Posts: 157 Loc: Southern California	Topic, pretty much. Saw a preview of this game a few months back and it got me intrigued. Just learned that it's launching in 5 days, on January 25th through Steam for $9.99. I'm pretty excited to try it out, it looks pretty smooth. _________________________ "He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither." - Ben Franklin "I won't bow out bravely.

Brennus Urban Legend Hotshot Registered: 01/13/05 Posts: 5066 Loc: Detroit, Mich.	I won't let it swing my judgement, but I find it difficult to play FS2 w/ TrackIR due to the limited cockpit support. A cockpit gives you a frame of reference that helps you judge situational awareness and sense of scale. We (I) didn't need it before TrackIR, but I'll be the first to admit that I've been spoiled. But, if it's as good as (or better than) FS2 or IW2 I'll be more than happy... _________________________ "You know what the chain of command is?

Chucky Member Registered: 04/06/08 Posts: 2353 Loc: UK Midlands	Is this purely space combat Mace or is there more to it? _________________________ I borrowed a book on surgical procedures from my local library today. Apparently someone's removed the appendix.

MaceUK33 Dirk Diggler's stuntman Hotshot Registered: 01/10/05 Posts: 8841 Loc: Darlington, UK	Purely space combat, like Freespace, defending your Cap ship from bombers, escorting transports etc. There is a mini-game where you target an enemy cap ships power node and hack their systems and shut down their engines/missiles etc. which is quite good. _________________________ Antec 902 \| MSI GTX 570 OC Twin FrozR 3 1280MB GDDR5 \| Samsung F3 1TB \| Corsair 6GB DDR3 \| Gigabyte EX58-UD3R Intel X58 \| LG DVD±RW SATA DL RW \| Corsair TX 650W ATX2.2 PSU \| Intel i7 920 2.66Ghz D0 OC'd to 3.40GHz \| Coolermaster V8 CPU Cooler \| W7 HP 64 bit \| 27" iiyama monitor \| TM HOTAS Warthog #05225 \| TM Cougar MFDs \| Saitek Pro-flight combat pedals \| Track IR 5 Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society.

Renic Member Registered: 08/23/11 Posts: 157 Loc: Southern California	I haven't been able to play yet since I can't get my Warthog to work with it. I can get the axes functioning, but half the buttons don't function. The devs have been really active on the Steam forums, responding to peoples concerns and whatnot, which is cool. _________________________ "He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither." - Ben Franklin "I won't bow out bravely.
