So...Fighters are kinda fun...

[UnmarkedBoxcar]

Just sayin'.

:3 Hi guys.

Long time no post!

[Relix Typhon]

They most certainly are! Especially in VR if your lucky enough to have one

Every time I boot up Elite I'm tempted by the VR experience... but I'm honestly not sure my current rig could run it satisfactorily.

Alas.

I feel you. In a vice versa kinda way. My rig could handle it, but after building said rig I can't afford the headset! Haha. Ohhh well. Someday.

If you have time during your Christmas visit to Phoenix, you are welcome to try my Vive. It's amazeballs!!

Oh, and to stay on topic, the more I use fighters the more I like 'em!

[TorTorden]

I sadly don't spend enough time in fighters.

I just don't trustop the hired help to fly my 30mil rebuy vette.
That and they suck at it.

[JohnLuke]

The slf pilot is certainly not as aggressive as I am when she's flying my Vette, but I'm okay with that.

Something to think about if you haven't done it yet.....

Wing up in a RES or CNB with other commanders who have slf's, each of you jump into the fighters, and put your motherships on 'hold' so that they don't engage in the battle. Now, it's up to you and your wingmen to get kills, ONLY using your fighters. It's a freakin' blast! And if you get blown up, no biggie. You are just put back in command of your mothership. Launch another fighter and get after it again.

[TorTorden]

It's not their aggression.
It's the crashing.

It's like handing your shiny new car, over to a kind of slow nephew and watch him rev the engine and plow straight into the only barricade on the parking lot...

Deployed the slf at a 0.6g planet. Told the pilot to not move, don't touch anything.
Just as soon as I launched he flips upside down, pitches 90 degrees and plows straight into the ground...

Like you fly that boat any better. I lose more shields in a Haz Res from you grinding and crashing into me than trying to face tank Anacondas.

Yeah but that's on purpose.
