Flearos Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 So am i the only one who would love to see the speed of strafing given a massive increase? Just imagine how much more interesting space combat would be.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lytewraith Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Well I would love to see that as a bonus abilty. As it is right now the GS is the ship that strafs the fastest and but if you find a way to speed it up I would love to know because I personaly use this .

Zharik Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'd like a strafe forward and backward option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armonddd Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'd like a strafe forward and backward option... Isn't strafe forward exactly the same as thrust? Like, by definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvershadows Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'd like strafe to not get stuck so that i randomly crash into the satellite because I'm constantly in 'strafe up' mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slivovidze Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I strafe a lot and am kinda used to how small effect it has, and I definitely wouldn't be against faster strafing. Just, not by too much. Too much strafing could turn this game into Quake in space. Maybe give us Strafing thrusters. 25-50% faster strafing when mastered. Or something like that.

Zharik Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Isn't strafe forward exactly the same as thrust? Like, by definition. Yeah but I really wanted a strafe back... seems silly to ask for one direction and not the other.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramalina Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Strafing isn't really viable with the GSF control system. But this isn't really about strafing in the air combat sense, it's about translational thrust. Notice the size of the thrusters pointed to the rear of the ship. Notice the lack of visible thrusters on the vertical and lateral axes. Probably does a lot to explain the lack of impressively fast MMO definition strafing. If this were a genuine space combat sim, you could have some really creative thruster placements and very interesting movement and control schemes. For better or worse though, the Star Wars franchise is strongly tied to a simplified model loosely based on WWII dogfighting. So probably no rapid sideways movement or using repulsorlifts to bounce off of a large object like a sat or a capital ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadishist Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Strafing are only for those who brake to fight. Takes too little skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancezwithnubz Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 i wish the strafing was a bit faster. it certainly has it's uses, just the default keybinds for it are beyond bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markviper Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Would love it to be a little faster. I always use it to pick off those people who think they can hug a sat and not get hit. Roll so my top side is against the sat and strafe down so I can point my nose slightly more inward while kicking my ship out further to get a better line of sight on my target. maybe a new engine ability for strafing: constant passive ability that greatly increases strafing speed at the cost of engine power, does not break missile locks like other engine components but reduces missile damage taken by X% while strafing (reasoning could be missile misses due to the maneuver but warhead detonates in close proximity, still causing SOME splash damage) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
