I think that would be covered under fly-by-wire which would prevent uncontrolled rotation by correcting when the pilot stops their pitch or roll on the yoke. If it works the same as killing velocity in the demo of the prototype engine there will be a little 'lag' as the fbw puts the thrusters to work to correct orientation.

The physics engine of SC was coded by Roberts himself and it simulates a FBW system which in turns simulates WW2 era dogfighting. The system is continuously firing micro-thrusts to keep the ships straight, but Roberts disabled the visualization of such microthrusts because it was ugly to see the thrusters flickering continuously even when the ship was "stopped".

Anyway, I would expect hardcore private servers enabling the effect back just for the sake of it, along with whatever modifcations are allowed via modding of the engine.

Hmmm If I intend to play SC I better get awesome with my dog fighting skills.

Guess I'll have to do more dogfights in DCS with my Su-27 Flanker.

What is this DCS thing, and why am I not playing yet?

God dammit, I love the Su-27.

Anyone can make a lot of promises. Delivering on them is harder.

Heh, post of the year. Something CCP knows all too well.

^ Me like and have 0 issues if dogfight went live without multilayer if that means game will not run on stock CryEngine.

It makes sense to me as well. I take the statement to mean that the CryEngine multiplayer would by used if it was necessary to do so to meet the end of December deadline if the SC backend wasn't ready for deployment even without multiplayer. So it sounds like either way the dogfighting module will be released, even if it means a major update to port the SC backend with multiplayer a few weeks later.

The interview says the opposite, the dogfight module may be released even without multiplayer (just single player PvE) if they can't release it with SC's MMO backend multiplayer, rather than use CE3's stock multiplayer and later update it.

And it makes sense, why bother ironing the potential issues of using CE3's multiplayer when they may just wait and use their own code and put it to test right from alpha?

Okay people, do you want a limited edition ship with LTI, even if you're not an early backer?

This is your first and last chance.

The following ships will be available, for only 24 hours, midnight to midnight PST, and every limited edition ship bought during the sale will have LTI even if you're a younger backer.

Anniversary Sale dates and details:

Monday, November 18 GÇô ORIGIN M50
Tuesday, November 19 GÇô ORIGIN 350R & Lightspeed Package
Wednesday, November 20 GÇô Drake Caterpillar
Thursday, November 21 GÇô RSI Aurora LX
Friday, November 22 GÇô Anvil Gladiator & Aegis Retaliator (running through the weekend)
Monday, November 25 GÇô MISC Starfarer

CR mentions that this sale with LTI is also a reaction to how people is being scammed at the "gray market" with LTI ships (not to mention the ludicrous surcharges).

what are those spinning fans inside the nose of the hornet? isn't that thing for flying in space?

Take off and landing in an atmosphere, for example a planet or within the flight bay of a carrier.

but they do spin in space, just watch some of the videos they have of that craft. not trying to be an ass but that kind of thing can really break immersion. hopefully someone notices before the game goes live

This game is gonna be so awesome!!! I just spoke with my accountant, he said if I refi all my loans and wire all the cash to Chris Roberts, I can get the super limited IWIN ship. Then I can look and walk around at my IWIN ship till the game comes out! Then I can win!!! Plus, If the game doesn't come out, I still have my IWIN ship, which I can tell everyone about and it will be with me forever!!! Such an awesome deal! Can't Wait!!!
























LoL.... Can someone post this to the SC forums and link me any rage/tears that may follow. I don't have access and am too cheap to spend money on a non-product just to troll.

31 million stretch goal (voted by the community): RSI Orion*, a dedicated mining ship

32 million stretch goal is on the vottng, so far is winning clearly the option of a dedicated salvage ship (42% of votes).

EvE infiltrated Star Citizen succesfully? Sounds like it, with those two choices we clearly blew our cover!

With 5 goals like "+1 ship for $1 million" Star Citizen devs started to resemble CCP which market patches with 2 ships and 4 flying suitcases as "expansions". A bit disappointing.
