Why can't I pilot a fighter?
I just want to fly one as a squadron leader as they all leave the docking bay of my Thanatos. I know they have pilots- I've seen their little happy faces as they whizz around- come on CCP- I want to fly one as well. They get uber little strike craft- we get boring interceptors or slug like battleships whilst the fighter pilots zoom around taking the p!zz & laughing.
I need a fighter fix to make me complete

Umm, and it'd be any different to flying a frigate how? Direct input (WASD, joystick etc.) is a definate "no".

simple maths really. It is only the fact that the Eve interface is based on a join the dots system - so we cant have direct flight- I long for a game like eve with direct joystick control so we really can dog fight- but we digress.

Play Freelancer then.
regardless...no. It's utterly pointless and, from a lore point of view...fighters aren't capsuleer ships, meaning your character gets instantly biomassed if you die in one.

I do play Freelancer, Elite, Homeworld 1 & 2, X3 & a number of other games. Most have some free flight aspect. Sadly the Eve interface is a bit point & click more like a turn based game. As for being Biomassed- not a lot different from being podded so I don't see that as a major show stopper.
Just a bit of fun really.

Umm, actually it is. Pods have inbuilt clone revival systems, fighters don't. But yes go and play those games if you want direct input flight...

It is quite a good game, he stated that he already plays it btw.
Thing with Freelancer is that once you get your nomad guns, and Eagle you are set (within an hour or so). But then again, EVE is where you go for depth.

Be patient. In a year or two you'll be able to hire DUST players to do it.

I freefly of sorts in eve all the time, do the tactical double click, etc.
As for joystick, that will really only be possible if we get sub environments designed for only a few people. Analog control signals would just take up exponentially more bandwidth and server power than the current controls.

I did have the idea for a series of corvettes it didnt get anywhere or no where near as popular as my SOE ships did.
