R6 is awesome!

If you have not been on it, you are missing out! I just spent the evening playing around on it.

Drone rip indicators, Miner capacities, probe count in sectors, He fog of war, random team choice, just to name a few options. If you dont test R6, you can just go to hell.

Yay! Random team choice!

I am probably excited about wrong things...

Ships configurations can be saved by pressing Ctrl+1 through 0, and brought up by pressing 1 through 0
You'll have to do it for each faction you play, though

Highlighting sectors, and base sitter times available to the commander

all very cool

It would be nice to be able to test it and not go to hell. Unfortunately for me the beta exe installer cant find centeroutbmp.mdl and dies, and, I hope, goes straight to hell.. So wtf am I supposed to do?

If you still have problems PM bard as it indicates in the instructions.

The drone will have a yellow box with an X in it..indicating that it is in the process of ripping.

Yes, the improvements in R6 is massive. I fall to my knees and thank god I live in such times!

Get in line, you can sloppy seconds after me.

I find it personally a good idea to choose a certain loadout style for each faction;

#1 opening
#2 hunting
#3 probing

etc

that way it doesn't matter to your brain if you are tf rix or ic, you're in a scout searching for a miner to kill; press #2, done.

Seems easier on the brain.

The fact that I can press one button and go from a miner D scout to a miner 0 scout, well it's priceless.

FYI: I was not in beta at all today.

The dude flying as +TigerEye@BS was not me.
