    Star Citizen: Chris Robert`s new space sim (the Wing Commander guy)

    I own a Reliant. I'm not too happy with what I hear about it. How does a CCU work? Is it like getting a token to use or not use as you please, or is it a done deal once you hit the confirm button? I might change to a 315P (for free I assume). I still like the looks of Reliant but it seems...

    [MMO] World of Warships

    I'll add (for any of you that are not actively scouring the site and forums) that until August 4 at 7:20 AM ET the skill reset for commanders is just 1 gold per skill point. That was put in to mollify some complaints around the removal of "SA" situational awareness as a skill that had to be...

    [MMO] World of Warships

    Anyone here still interested in this? They have a referral program with rewards for the "new" player and some lesser rewards for me as the referring player. (Very lesser: a port slot and some junk) I have seen these things posted before in the "Star Citizen" thread so I guess it is ok...

    Star Citizen: Chris Robert`s new space sim (the Wing Commander guy)

    So none of you own a rental ship? I rent a Gladiator. Nice ship. Restricted cockpit view. I was able to call it up (it's in the list) and, after fumbling around ( since I never had to get in it manually before) get in and fly it around Port Olisar. This is in 2.0.0 of course since I am...

    Is it ok to post promotional codes a player gets? If anyone reading this thread wants to start (or restart) here are two "invite codes" I got from some site. They are supposed to include: 7 days of premium time, 500k silver (credits), and 1000 gold (spend wisely). I think you use the code at...

    dud, I'll give you the short answer: No. Unless you don't play much for one reason or another, getting past tier 4 in ships is not hard. You probably play several ship classes? I only play cruisers. Since late closed beta. I'm an average player with a T8 cruiser. I have the USN New...

    Apparently the Albany offer is back, extended until Saturday, if anyone missed it. I'll probably keep mine, but the port slot is doubtless more valuable.

    I'll drop my opinion of the Phoenix. I started out hating it. Now I like it better than the Omaha, mostly for one Reason: More gun range. On both the torps are very short range, so you need to rely on your guns. I think I'd really like the Murmansk, but I'm not going to spend any money on this.

    [MMO] World of Warships

    From what I have read on the forum the game is in limited open beta at the moment. They are letting a limited number of new accounts download and play. So really real open beta is on the horizon. I think. These guys puzzle me. Anyway, game play is somewhat more involved now with camo (right...

    Yes, the Cleveland seems a nice crutch for us crappy players. Smothering fire. I find Cleveland a little fragile but maybe that's just me. Keep moving. I try to. What's broke? Divisions are causing some people problems. Torpedo plane drops are a bit too close now, in my (and others)...

    To turn off AA hit "p". It's been fun, but not perfect. Fun, zero depth compared to a "potbs" port battle, but requires much less time and schedule investment. That's my take so far.

    Star Citizen: Chris Robert`s new space sim (the Wing Commander guy)

    Yeah. Good story. I sometimes end up in the Gladius by mistake (the system's mistake, not mine - it's a bug) and I've been asked "how's racing that Gladius going for you?" Depends on the make-up of the race. Anyway, backslash to open your text, uh, buffer I suppose, enter key to send it, and...

    Star Citizen: Chris Robert`s new space sim (the Wing Commander guy)

    Yep. rivethead, you probably already know, but just in case the Gladius is an extremely stable ship. I've actually won a couple of 8 person OV races in my "rental" (I was dumb enough to rent one just before the "Free Fly" week.)

    Star Citizen: Chris Robert`s new space sim (the Wing Commander guy)

    Racing is a decent way to earn REC if you don't care for the public combat matches. You can expect your fellow citizens to stop in front of gates and other dirty tactics, and the multiplayer servers are acting badly especially under load, and the starting grid is poorly designed, but if you...

    "Fly any ship" week is up right now. As a Mustang Alpha pilot the F7CM is quite an eye-opener. Edit: NVM
