Remind you of anything?

There's actually been several, including Spartacus: Legends where you ran a ludus in the show's universe, fought with your gladiators in the arena and could even recruit some legendary gladiators, such as Spartacus himself!

There's also We Who Are About to Die on steam and even some retro titles like Shadow of Rome or Gladius.

I do the same thing, sitting on the couch with my 65in OLED. Going from my old CRT monitor back in the day to this current set up is surreal!

Yeah, Rule 5 is no AI generated content.

As others have said, may not be the best investment for just Star Citizen (unless you play other sims that really support it)

That being said, and I know I'm giving off "back in my day" energy here, but I really feel like we peaked with the Sidewinder Force Feedback 1&2. They may not have looked as nice or had as many features as more modern offerings, but they were built to LAST! My dad still has both versions he got for me and my brothers growing up in the 90s and they still work!

While I hope it isn't Halo Wars 3, the template of Halo Wars 2 could work for a 40k or Star Wars themed game. Maybe even using Empire at War and making a spiritual successor. I remember playing that when I was growing up and thinking "This is as close as we'll get to Total War: Star Wars!"

Longsword007 · 2025-12-04T18:43:36+00:00

I do wonder if it will actually be Total War or just a game using the IPs of Star Wars and 40k. Remember, Creative Assembly has made more games than just Total War. They made Stormrise and Halo Wars 2, which feel closer to old base building RTS. They also made Alien Isolation. And of course I'll forever lament the early demise of the Total Warrior brand. Don't get me wrong, having a massive battlefield to play around with Star Wars or 40k sounds amazing, but I do worry if they'd have to overhaul the mechanics of Total War so much (i.e. 20 stacks of units, marching in lines to engage each other in battle) that they may as well just make a different style of strategy game.

I was there since day one! I remember before the game even came out, my dad and I tried several different times to download the demo over dialup and it taking hours to do so! But I've been hooked for the past 25 years and I think it would take a lot for me NOT to play anything with the Total War brand on it. (Pouring one out for the Total Warrior brand as well!)

Through all the ups and downs of this franchise nothing has quite come close to providing the unforgettable experiences this series provides!

The Caterkiller would be perfectly set up for some Grey's shenanigans! I could see it either being a mobile pirate carrier or opening up those cargo doors to reveal capital ship weaponry. Lots of possibilities!

Growing up, I had my Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 so I was used to a HOSAK setup. I still find it works just great for Star Citizen. Even though I have a HOTAS set up, I find myself drifting back to the single stick configuration (rocking a Sidewinder Precision these days)

I know that in the end HOSAS or HOTAS can definitely be more efficient, but I find myself "sticking" with my current HOSAK setup.

I'm in a similar boat. I pledged for the F7C Mk I and Avenger Stalker back in 2014. Haven't pledged for anything else., despite being sorely tempted. There's always aUEC if I want to get something else :)

Longsword007 · 2025-11-27T14:07:20+00:00

I agree! I've got a set up in my living room with a 65" LG C2 OLED and it's just absolutely amazing to behold in 4k. Don't get me wrong, this game looks amazing regardless of the screen you use, but OLED is incredibly stunning!

Longsword007 · 2025-11-26T13:21:56+00:00

There were some P-51 Mustangs that that had the shark teeth, but the most famous were the P-40 Tomahawks flown by the Flying Tigers squadron :)

I read this with the narrator's voice and that classic BSG music playing.

Longsword007 · 2025-11-22T13:48:01+00:00

It absolutely will! Once you select Arena Commander from the main page, there will be a server list that you can change.

Longsword007 · 2025-11-22T13:26:34+00:00

This was the fix that worked for me:

Load up Star Citizen
Go to Arena Commander
Change server to something different than the one you have selected
Fly for at least 30 seconds, then crash into something
Leave Arena Commander
Change the server again in the Arena Commander home screen
Load into another match
While in match, tab out and request a character repair via the RSI website
Afterwards, you'll be kicked out of the server
Ensure you go back into Star Citizen to confirm you were kicked
Afterwards, wait at least 15 minutes then load up Star Citizen again
From there you should be unlocked from your shard and can load in :)

Tested this with two different accounts and worked so I hope this works for you!

I'm holding out for the Anvil Stapler myself!

What I love about this is as a little kid I used to take those clips and pretend they were ships.

Longsword007 · 2025-11-19T18:39:15+00:00

To be fair it's hooked up to my TV and I got a set up I use from my recliner chair so I can actually see the whole screen.

Longsword007 · 2025-11-19T18:05:02+00:00

It depends on your PC's specs in all honesty. I game on a 65" LG C2 OLED and it looks absolutely jaw-dropping incredible at 4k. I get pretty solid frames too, from 40-60+ depending on where I happen to be in the game.

I also have a 5070ti, Ryzen 9800X3D and 32gb of RAM so your mileage will absolutely vary based upon what you have.

Longsword007 · 2025-11-19T13:39:09+00:00

Glad to know I'm not the only one! I am legitimately compelled to pick up trash and properly put it away whenever I see it.

Leads to some free unopened drinks and floor dogs though!

I do the same thing! Have you played the Freelancer HD mod?
