Nooooooooooooo

The Kickstarter for this seems to be picking up a ton of steam. You can literally watch the #'s climb from minute to minute.

"Its a more advanced maneuver, and it may require an upgrade to your fly by wire system but it is definitely part of the arsenal of tools available to an advanced pilot."
The $#@!??? Sure it's an advanced maneuver, but only cause it requires skill to pull off, don't make it a fricking thing to unlock.

In Wing Commander 3, which sucked and didn't have inertia there was one special ship where you could press a key and it acted like vector lock... Except then you could not thrust at all

I dearly hope this won't be similar bull@#(!.

sounds like that's exactly the case. something about turning engines off. needless to say i was never that hopeful

That reminds me on Starlancer's reverse thrust special ability...

Hi sunrodent,

I'm sorry but I don't know Flying in Allegiance. Could you tell me more about it?
