  • Valkyrie Remote turrets will jump to facing forward when player faces them all the way to the back

Some personal gripes with 3.10:

The Flight corridors / Restricted area updates combined with the new atmospheric flight model will take some players a few attempts to get used to… ALSO some bugs and derpy mechanics that need to get solved can add to that headache.

The flight corridor can time out, hangars can close before you can land.

If they solve all of the bugs then maybe it will work… but I feel that it wasn’t really the direction I wanted restricted areas to go.

There is a lot of good in the 3.10 patch so far and the PTU seems extremely stable for me.

I’ve also now tested it with a range of Shadow Hardware (the cloud based PCs that I shill for) and it works great… I’ll probably do a video on that soon.

Getting used to the new combat and flight model is going to take a bit more time… I still don’t think they have what they need for closer dogfights to occur… the high speed combat “debuffs” don’t really do anything yet… Really we need more of the core systems to come online like physicalized components and then something to have dogfights a little more attrition-y imo… having to choose between power going to shields, weapons OR to engines or something like that could potentially help with that… less available power… maybe… just some random thoughts rather than tangible actions.
