Petrel vs Corvette

Won't have AM streams either.

AM stream's an available powerup, I think. Mining laser is at least. :evil:

Do you use hotkeys to rebalance power distribution? Now that I've started doing that I can hardly fly without it.

I do indeed. Hat switch for that.

Schmatzler, could you split off the whole Petrel vs Corvette discussion into its own thread to keep this one on-topic?

--IronDuke

Topic split off.

Thank you heartily, Schmatzler. o7

IronyMan, I've got a half-hour video of me smashing things in the Heavy Corvette in Instant Action. I was sleepy and not feeling well, plus my joysticks were acting up, so I did horribly, and ended it by ramming the supply vessel in despair.


I'd do one in the Petrel, but one of my sticks finally kaputted and the other is atrophying rapidly, so I can hardly fly straight. Not that I do anyway, but now my drunken meanderings that comprise my ordinary flight pattern are downright stoned instead.

Maaan, your monitor is huge. I can barely make out your contacts list. :blink:

I gotta get a joystick; flying with the keyboard is a pain. I bound flight assist to left shift because it's right under my thruster hand, but now Windows tries to turn on Sticky Keys in the middle of dogfights, and returns to the desktop when I'm drifting and changing the cockpit view mode. Gotta fix that.
