Feedback and Suggestions / Re: Ballons, Harpoons

« on: January 04, 2016, 10:57:31 am »

i was wondering about the seperate balloons idea in a seperate context: listing. as those age of sail nerds out there alreay know, listing is when the ship has been hit and is taking on water from one side, and starts to tip over as water rushes in. if you shot out the front or back or side balloon on a ship, wouldnt the lift be unbalanced and tip the ship to a side?

Yes, absolutely, but adding roll to the equation would mean a WHOLE mess of new flight/combat/firing dynamics. I'd be all for it, but it would probably be a physics/balance nightmare.

Edit: Pitch AND roll.

Feedback and Suggestions / Re: Throttle position keybinds?

Ha! I've driven a standard since 1998

Anyway, I just love the feel of a throttle over smashing keys for forward and backward speeds. There's just no way to set up a throttle to work right now. I thought maybe offering a keybind for each position would be a nice, easy way to make programmable throttles work, and give some added functionality to keyboard players, too.

So right now there's pretty much no way to pilot with any manner of analog throttle control. I could see how adding a whole control axis could be tough, but what about maybe adding a keybind for each throttle position? That way, folks with programmable throttles could set up bands for keystrokes and use 'em that way.
