Hi all,
Haven't been able to post the massive amount of replays I'm sitting on but I promise they are coming. In the meantime, I had a the delight of a pretty epic match last night and I promised the crew I was with that I would put this video up.

A huge thanks to the crews on this one. A really exciting match for us to be in, and a crew that made it possible for us to do what we did.

Enjoy the skies!

Heya!

Just wanted to say thanks for the guides and see how the piloting guide is coming.  Personally, I get the very basics of how to fly, but I struggle a lot with the whole 'don't leave your teammate alone' so some guidance on the team coordination aspect would be really nice.  That might be a completely different video though.

Anyway, thanks!

Hey Paras,
Sorry for the delay I was actually out on vacation for a while. On the worse side, my prior videos didn't turn out so I'm in the process of redoing the gunner/pilot videos. On the plus side, I've actually upgraded some of my equipment so hopefully I'll have a little bit better quality on the audio for everyone!

Anyway, thanks for the appreciation and I promise to get the new material up soon.

Enjoy the skies,
Quin

As an additional note- Lesson 1 and 2 are actually updates to prior versions. I've left the originals in place, for anyone so interested.

Thanks!

Terrific little guide for a ship that I usually hate playing on! I have to say it makes me a little less nervous about maybe taking it out of the hangar now. Thank you for this!


A few questions about your alternate set up of 3 engi's-
Do you ever find yourself having issues with overheating your guns? As your gun/engi load out has no fire responsive items, would you ask your bottom engi to take chem spray instead and prioritize rotations on the guns?

And do you ever miss having gunner stamina? I can see how gunner stamina could be a crutch for a pilot who is having difficulty getting you into position- either against a quick moving target or simply not quite knowing the arcs, but what about the reload times? Or does having the buffed damage ultimately compensate for the inability to speed reloads.


I ask these more out of the fact that the groups that I run with aren't the highest levels and while I have some command of the game, I know I'm not amazing so I go back and forth about the value of repairing power vs the utility of having a gunner. Plus in a solo queue situation it isn't always easy to convince a crew to go all engi's haha.

Thanks for any insight and the great post!

Keep it up, it's nice to see you're still going with this!

I don't often have time to watch streams but I try to catch up via YouTube

Thanks Kamoba, I definitely intend to. Unfortunately, with the servers acting up I wasn't able to pull any recordings out of last night. I'll try and get some new ones up for you today though.

Cheers!

The Signal Tower / Streams from Quintessince Gaming

« on: May 28, 2015, 08:33:03 pm »

Greetings All!

In a fortuitous turn of events I have tomorrow afternoon off from work! Friday, May 29th.

That means I plan on opening the weekend with some streams. For those interested in joining, I'll be picking up my gameplay stream after The Obvious Show ends. If you don't know what the Obvious Show is, check out their channel on twitch and definitely subscribe to them!

http://www.twitch.tv/theobviousshow/profile

I highly recommend you watch their show and honestly CAKE are just a great group to play with anyway so definitely give them some love.

As mentioned, once the show ends I'll be bringing my stream online and if you want to stop by, I am always up for meeting new people. Others from Yesha Empire will be out too so you can meet some of the great folks I play with all the time. And as per usual, if we get any really exciting matches going I'll be sure and add the recordings to my youtube channel.

www.twitch.tv/quintessince

As a special treat, I'm going to be adding a "grog bout" later in the evening so those interested in inebriated air antics, be sure and join!

Enjoy those ammo filled skies all and see you tomorrow!

Greetings all!

I'll be hosting another streaming session this evening, about 5:30pm EST (9:30pm UTC). Please feel free to drop in at www.twitch.tv/quintessince. As before, I'll also be recording matches to be placed on my youtube channel which can be found at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7NnwBpcsD32KmyZsftcF3A.

I'll be joined by some clan members of -Yesha Empire- so for those who might be looking for a clan to call home, tonight would be an excellent time to join us, get to know some of our members and see if we would be a good fit! As always, I'm happy to answer any questions that my meager experience might provide, but I anticipate a few community titans to be joining as well, who will be a much vaster font of knowledge as it were. Regardless, everyone is welcome and I can't wait to get some matches going.

Enjoy those skies, and let's get lots of guns blazing!
Quin

Hi all,
Thanks to everyone who stopped by for some terrific matches!
I'll upload a few more replays in the near future, but as promised, one particular crazy king match was a priority.

This one is for you friends from CAKE!
