    get going...ok, game still crashes once in a while and not all game modes are always available to join, but the battles are fun.

    Have you ever tried join a "free for all", everyone against everyone, while being on mumble with fellow guild members? Evens the odds quite a bit :)

     

    Also be aware, I'm just waiting for you guys to join... once I see more activity I'm planning to organize training and tuning sessions with the top dogfighting pilots in Arena Commander.... so no laziness here and don't be mistaken: Arena commander is now 1.0 --> and playable! and FUN !!!
     

    A few hints to get started:

    • see our member forums to add guild mates to friends list (there's a sticky post for their user IDs)
    • tune your ship... guns changed in the hangar can be used as such in Arena Commander. E.g. super hornet with 6 x Omnisky VI lasers is a good choice!
      Try that in single player drone combat before joining multiplayer battles
    • customize your keyboard layout. Deactivate all buttons that you don't need or don't know what they do, especially when playing with keyboard. You won't miss them for a start. Too much controls makes the game uncontrollable and unnecessary complex. Try your config in single player - just fly around a bit and see if it feels natural. EXPORT your layout (so you don't have to redo it)
    • Make sure to be in mumble on your first flights... helps to have a guildie around give you a few basic hints. Also helps to communicate during battle.

     

    Combat basic hints:

    some basics that will improve your luck in fights

    • customize your guns. All guns of one type make aiming easier.
    • use numpad 8 key to move all shield energy forward, when approaching an enemy head-on. Click 5 to rebalance shields.
    • click mousewheel button once to lock a missile. Click mousewheel again to lock another missile. HOLD mousewheel to fire ALL LOCKED MISSILES AT ONCE!
      no point locking more than 2 at a time... a single missile hit kills.

    dang, could help you with a ship... but not with a pc sadly :/ - extra job?

     

    don't need too much for the game though... my 4 year old guest-pc can run it just fine - and that's a real crappy machine, 4y old $100 graphix card, not at all optimized for gaming.

    Sure: low resolution, low graphic level... but at least it runs smooth
