The test group must be overwhelmingly positive, otherwise they are excluded from said test group.
I'd heard a few days ago that SCM speeds will be nerfed. I'm hoping that with slower speeds will feel more intimate.
Though, after piloting the Connie with a 155 max SCM, I'm a bit concerned in the ultimate outcome.
If I'm too slow to close the gap quickly enough with the new lower speeds, I'll just get shredded trying to disengage that way.
This is where mains-centric flying will come into play. In that situation, I would juke one direction with some afterburner, using those powerful main engines to change velocity. Before I had even let off that maneuver, I'd already be rotating towards a new vector and be ready to afterburn that direction, again with the mains providing the thrust.
They said they're cutting speeds in half because they want to have a more intimate dogfighting experience. Right now all those beautiful, detailed ships they have built are irrelevant in a dog fight because you're just aiming at a small dot within a small square.
While I get that (and agree), I don't see how speeds lead to closer combat. Maybe I'm just dumb. I would think that cutting weapons effective ranges way down would bring hulls closer together and give that more intimate feel they're going for....

I hadn't finished AtV until now, but man I'm pretty excited about the UI updates too. Customizing ships for AC like that is a great idea. Looking pretty slick.
Are we enjoying the swing commander sensor module in here? Come on commandos.

That's easy. It's a ww2 bomber gunners helmet. Chris is infatuated with ww2 in space. That's why all the "spaceships" go 500mph.

It turned out that it was not 2.6, but 2.5 with modified SCM values.Apparently Evocati got their hands on 2.6 PTU Arena Commander this Monday. From the leaked information, there are big changes with SCM speeds (and with other aspects). I hope that we the Star Citizen peasants get to experiment with those when 2.6 goes live (they could reverse the changes by the time 2.6 goes live).
