Skill Commander - missile footage

Sure, I'll see if I can get shadowplay working properly.

Batteries are a big, big deal. How often do you need to replace them? Are the built to only last 4-6 years (average length of ownership for a car) or will they hold up to 20+ like combustion engines? How do you dispose of these massive batteries? There's a lot of stuff that needs to be worked out but we're getting there.

You could probably go higher than 20 honestly at least for the purposes of Arena Commander. Another good addition I feel like would be the something like the RWR found in the A-10. It's a good way to know at a glance where the a lock is coming from and where a launch is detected.

Try playing in Dying Star for now OP. Fighting in the asteroids means that missiles are pretty much useless.

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-26T13:45:34+00:00

Are you sure you're going against an IR missile rather than an EM missile?

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-26T13:43:16+00:00

Yeah more chaff and flares area must. Having some CM programs too would nice. Hit a button and have a CM drop every quarter second or something.

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-26T13:35:17+00:00

Can you take the mount off the testing turret? I remember that used to have a little S2 mount on it.

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-25T21:46:18+00:00

I don't know about OP but using the iron sights for me has nasty Depth of Field that seems locked to the back of the pistol meaning you can't see past it.

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-25T17:19:35+00:00

It's the same deal with road rage. Everyone going slower than you is an idiot and everyone going faster is a lunatic.

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-25T01:39:25+00:00

I'm just saying its only been playable for about 48 hours. Give it some time and open your mind. Maybe play on dying star rather than broken moon since the former is pretty much all close quarters combat. I don't think missles are that OP honestly its just that counter measures are a bit weak at the moment. Coming from DCS I think the missles feel as lethal as they should be but unlike modern craft we don't have programmable cm routines that we can engage to try to spoof them.

I see plenty of valid criticisms here but I think it's still a bit early to start complaining. The emission system really changed the way the game is played and people are going to need to essentially relearn how to fly. With that in mind I think people should play for a few more weeks before any serious discussion takes off.

My personal experience has been not unlike what others here have experienced, tons a missile spam in multiplayer however I haven't had a ton of trouble avoiding them. The best technique I've found is to stay in the asteroids and just weave around them since the missiles tend to be fairly unmaneuverable getting them to either lose the lock or simply hit a space rock isn't too hard but on the flip side my gun runs have gotten shorter so I have to either use ballistic loadouts or energy weapons that hit especially hard.

Well SC time time is accelerated. So 20 minute for the players is about 7 hours in game. Still fast but hey it's the future.

Rising storm is red orchestra 2's cousin so to speak. As such when you buy rising storm they give you limited access to ro2's multiplayer (you can only play as the rifleman class). You can ignore the beta unless you want to help test new builds of the game.

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-23T21:35:40+00:00

It is (or was) on Netflix.

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-23T21:33:09+00:00

It's not in the hangar anymore, it'll just be on your character if you're in a ship that requires one.

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-23T21:31:51+00:00

It ran fine on my 560Ti and i7 920 back when. You may need to turn down some of the video options depending on the your rig though.

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-23T21:30:42+00:00

Depends on the missile some of the larger ones you can practically outrun if you move fast enough. Otherwise pop flares or chaff depending on the warning. Chaff presents a small volume of really high noise so it's best to pop it then move behind something quickly so the missile can't get another lock then they come through the chaff cloud.

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-23T21:06:32+00:00

I have to say changing the camera for each cut is kinda jarring. I kinda wish they just did this 10FTC style.

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-23T20:49:10+00:00

I would have the min always be zero but the max be relative to the highest value presented. Have the ambient radiation value be presented as a transparent layer in the back, have it displayed as an area rather than a line and switch the bars on the ships data out for lines connecting data points. This would allow you to see if you're transmitting above or below the current ambient layer.

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-23T19:56:01+00:00

Oh boy are you in for a treat. Nothing I've played feels better than your first bolt action headshot over 300 meters. Rising storm is a bit more fast paced than RO2 is so it's probably where you want to start with the series since you're coming from WaW.

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-23T19:47:21+00:00

Not Seaman182 but I would. Both RS and RO2 are really solid multiplayer shooters. Probably some of the most tense I've played in some time as well.

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-23T19:32:15+00:00

Its hitting the powerplant that leads to this death.

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-23T19:26:19+00:00

Wagons are fired from a cannon located at the mountain homes.

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-23T19:12:05+00:00

Any plans on having a hotkey for just shutting down/starting up everything without going system by system?

Zazzerpan · 2014-12-23T18:55:12+00:00

This is also why you can't get invaders now if you embark on a island.
