Hopefully if I can find one I’ll be flying this weekend.
I don't know if headsets, from anyone, are in high availability right now, but you can also try ordering directly from Oculus.
I was able to pick one up at Bic Camera. Availability is weird in Japan; I never know what is going to be impossible to find or abundant. For example, while the VR headset was at the first place I looked, I spent 2 hours looking for the ingredients for Tiramisu for the lady-friend who's coming over tomorrow night and still didn't find everything. So I tracked down an international store that's supposed to have savoiarde cookies that's only a 45 minute train ride away. I'mma continue this thread only because I think it's going to be funny: so we've got a little mid-week date night planned to put up a tiny, tiny tree in my apartment. What she doesn't know is that all of my ornaments are Star Wars themed, and that's going to be confusing because she's never seen Star Wars. Is Star Wars a Christmas movie? I think there could be an argument there... Actually the more I think about it the more I really want to have just an X-Wing v TIE Fighter themed tree with darker branches and the lights acting as stars.
Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back sorta can be a Christmas themed movie. It has snow and... snow... and winter themed Snowtroopers.
Hallmark already thought of people like you. It is a wreath instead of a tree though. Yes, I have all of the ornaments (except for the Death Star) and the wreath. I just need to put it all together one of these years.

Forced to pick up and relocate close to the holidays, an old scoundrel embarks on a road trip across the galaxy to drop in on an old friend who appears to be doing very well for himself.

But their Life Day dinner goes awry when his newfound love interest’s domineering father turns up and gives him the cold shoulder.

Finally got my computer rebuilt, the Oculus installed, and flight controls all mapped... and I can’t connect to the EA servers to play online. I was afraid of this (and this was also why I waited so long to set up the game at my house). The DSL connection I have at this old apartment complex gives me about a max of 4.5 MB/s, and that certainly makes downloading things painful but it also might prevent me from being able to play this online at all. I’m going to do a little more troubleshooting and see if Elite Dangerous has similar issues playing online.
On a different note, I decided to finally try flying with the rudder pedals. WSOs typically keep their feet off the pedals, so learning to fly with them has led to a little pilot appreciation on my part. For some reason my yaw sense is also inverted; e.g. I keep wanting to turn the screen instead of my nose. We’re on holiday manning luckily so I’ve got literally all day to tomorrow to play.

Yeah I can tell when I’m going against a KBAM player.
With a HOTAS it’s still impossible to match their aiming precision, but I won’t give up my immersive setup.
I realize this is a bit of an old post... But I just started playing over the weekend. The highest is great fun but I did find trying to track enemies with precise movements the controls feel really sloppy. My movements are either too big or don't do anything. Is there no open fixing this? In my mind I wonder about a HOTAS+M setup where I keep my mouse handy for precision, but I much rather just have my joystick be able to handle it.

Can’t speak to HOTAS or KBAM, but playing on PS4 with a DS4, I’m always fighting the momentum of the pitch & yaw movements when trying to line up shots. I think it’s one reason my success rate in engagements is higher with my TIE Bomber build than other types. It turns like a stretched limo version of a TIE Fighter, which I suppose is exactly what it is. But it’s a fast missile boat and a stable gun platform.
I’ve started alternating between the Bomber and the Defender, though, so I don’t get out of practice applying opposite stick to kill a turn when my sights are lined up. With mostly good results so far, using a high sensitivity setting. What I’d really like to see is an option for a U-shaped response curve to the analog inputs, perhaps even right in the accessibility settings on modern consoles.
"Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are." - Bertolt Brecht
Yeah the game is definitely floaty on the hotas, I’ve tried messing with it but to no avail. I still have a lot of fun, but yeah I still constantly overshoot targets. I gave it a small dead zone, like 0.05 or 0.1, I can’t recall and it definitely helped.
Still I can’t get it to the same precision as DCS.
But when you get someone with an 8kd at lvl 110+ it’s a bit insane. It seems easy to master the “moving forward and rotating” maneuver on a mouse. Even if I try to exit out of the joust, they track me the entire way.
On a map like Yavin it’s depressing.
I like to fly an Awing and the only defenses to that maneuver seems to be hit and run, which you either need a highly coordinated team as they’ll just repair between runs, or you out tank them.
Using the super tracking lasers on the bomber helped a lot to train it. It was hard jumping straight in with the standard stuff.
So the ships won't turn any faster with a kbam, and from what I have seen watching gameplay videos there is always some delay/fudge/etc to the movement. And a pretty generous "lock" zone where the lasers will hit and track a bit.
BTW, don't use kill cams as evidence. There is a very significant difference between what was happening with the enemy player and what it shows on the kill cam. The cam roughly takes both player positions, and does a dramatic reenactment.
I finally got everything set up with VR and HOTAS etc... and my computer and internet just can’t hack online play. I’m going to buy a new graphics card, and I called my ISP to see about any options for a faster/more reliable connection, but I don’t have much hope until I move at the end of this assignment. I’ll play some Solo Elite Dangerous in the meantime. I’m trying to convince my friend to let me come over for a LAN party.
What’s the point of becoming an adult and having your own place if you can’t bring your friends over to play computer games like it was 1998?
I picked this is up since the sale on epic + 10 dollar coupon for adding a free game put this at steep discount that is firmly in impulse buy range. Having a ton of fun with just dog fighting, not sure if I will go whole hog and get a stick but it has me considering at the very least finally picking up an elite controller, since that would have use outside of squadrons.
Played a bunch with both mouse and keyboard and controller, manipulating all the systems is leagues easier with mkb but overall i seem to do better on controller. But both are enjoyable experiences, once I got comfortable with the a wing I was zipping between little gaps in the broken up ships which caused me to guffaw in delight.

I thought it couldn't get any more fun than I was having with a controller until I dug out my mildly broken joystick from the 90s. Once I got it mostly working and went into the training map, my enjoyment of the game instantly doubled.
Plus, now when the throttle fails to go all the way up, or the next game fails to go all the way down, or the yaw will randomly start slightly drifting in different directions during the course of a match, it just feels even more immersive, like I am really there in my janky old X-Wing.

Mostly wishing this had more of a single-player mode like X-Wing and TIE-Fighter did. It feels VERY MUCH like X-Wing VS TIE Fighter, But Shinier, but I also feel like I'd be less pants at multiplayer if there were more single-player missions for me to mess around with so I can learn to suck less and learn the ins and outs of all the loadouts. Not sure how much I'll keep up with it... I really only got it because my friends wanted to play with me.
On that note! Holy jeez is friending people across platforms annoying! And the friend list is really badly organized! Anybody know how to make that aspect less pants? My brother plays on PS4, I'm on PC, my college friend is on Switch, it's a mess.

Tried the Defender for the first time last night. I like how they kept the feeling of powerful but balanced. Its a great all-around ship but only if you are great at power management. Since I'm already constantly messing with my power settings, I felt comfortable in the Defender and got a lot out of it early on. It's a fun ship.
My eyes went to this sentence first when I clicked the tab after reading some VR stuff, and the first thing I thought of was wearing the headset to bed while running a no-enemy practice match in a B-Wing. That would be silly!

I’m happy to say with a new laptop and modem I’m finally able to play Squadrons without crippling frame rate drops or disconnect issues. I’ve been playing mostly dogfights and I think I have my favorite load out of X-Wing/burst lasers/repair kit/concussion missiles/seeker countermeasures/dampener hull/fortified shields/standard engine. I haven’t done any tanked matches yet; I tend to die a little too quickly when attacking capital ships so I want to learn some better techniques for attacking them prior to playing.
One thing I’ve noticed with visibility is that the long nose of the X-Wing is a detriment to attacking, especially when I lead a target. I can appreciate the TIE a little more when offensive because of that.

I am also most comfortable in an X-Wing. It's pretty much the only ship I fly when Resistance.
If you have the components, I'd recommend
- SLAM Engine (generates boost as long as engines have any power)
- Deflector Hull (+ Shields, - Hull)
- Ray Shields (less damage from Lasers, more from missiles)
- Astromech Repair
- Countermeasure of choice
- Missile of choice
- Standard Lasers
Extra shields that are more resistant to lasers means I am incredibly strong in dogfights and have more time to react/run when j get jumped. It goes without saying to overcharge your shields when coming out of spawn. Then set power to one pip in engines and one pip in lasers. Use SLAM to disengage or run when shields get low and re-overcharge when safe. SLAM boost is also helpful to chase and finish off enemies.
You've gotta be pretty on top of angling and managing shields, to get the most out of it since that's where all your health is. But it's easily the most survivable combined with kill-y of all Resistance ship loadouts I've played. I generally go 20+ and 3 against AI. And I've had games with no deaths against other players.
Port and starboard have specific sailing connotations that probably are not correct for space.

Yeah but the navy parallels are present everywhere else, right? It's the Imperial Navy, officer titles are pulled straight from naval ranks (particularly the UK Navy iirc), ship classes follow naval conventions (cruiser/corvette/etc), ships sections use navy terms like bridge, hull, deck, fore & aft. Why not go all the way?
(I mean...I know why, it's because not everyone is an incorrigible nerd like me. BUT MY POINT STILL STANDS)

Then why is it called a gunboat/missile boat?
Capital ships.
As my WW2 Navy vet grandpa used to say, "boats go on ships."
Air Force uses left, right, forward, and aft to describe sections of an aircraft. Always from the pilot’s perspective so there’s no confusion. Not sure about Navy fighters but they treat their fucking buildings like ships so it’s a good guess their fighters are too. Last I checked Star Wars just loosely uses the Navy theme so I wouldn’t lose any sleep over the inconsistency.

Has anyone found a decent B-wing loadout? I just can't get that boat to work. To me, it feels like a Y-wing that does everything slower and worse. But I'm trying to figure out if it's not a good fighter, or if I'm just using it incorrectly.
I do really like what happens when I am able to get lined up on a cruiser, knock its shields and maybe some turrets down on the way in, and drop ten proton bombs across the deck as I pass, but there's a very high likelihood that I instead get lined up and then get swatted out of space by a TIE/In that shunts power to guns for a moment. I love that ship but it almost feels like it belongs in a bigger fleet action? 2-3 B-Wings with a protective cocoon of 5-6 X-Wings would be absolutely devastating to a cruiser or even an ISD, even with way more TIEs on the field, but in a 5v5 there's not enough other stuff happening to hide the alpha strike behind/inside. Maybe. Maybe I too am just real bad at flying my favorite fighter!

Finally did something I thought was impossible: had zero deaths in a Fleet Battle against normal AI. 20 kills, zero deaths, even took out the shield generators on the ISD.
For those that don't play v AI in Fleet Battles, the AI cheats like hell. They do impossible turns and tracking and generally stuff players can't do. I've learned that once I get ~4 kills without dying, the AI aggressively hunts me down. Like chasing me all the way to my frigates and sometimes even back to my capital ship, of course never dying while they do. They will swarm just me once I get over 7 kills with no deaths, focus firing me as a squad as soon as I'm in range. I always try to not die but have never finished a full game with no deaths, until recently. Felt real good.

No. B Wing just has no survivability. It's not you. You never see any B Wings in any remotely competitive match because they're the slowest ship in the game and they get beamed way too easy.

Combine that with the matchmaking updates they made a few weeks back and there are very few (if any) stomps in this game now. Every match I play is really balanced and fun.
