Your "Co-pilots"

Dont you just wish there was a button to eject THEM into space? <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> --------------------- -Guess What? -Chicken Butt.

Actually since your wingmen hardly do anything, it´s probably easier just to be your own squadron, that way no executions for killing your wingmen (you have none now), and your squadron (you) will have the highest kill ratio in the universe, instead of having you do all the work, and divide the number by your stupid wingmen who happen to die for one reason or another (shooting themselves with a missile?). Yep 300+ kills to 0 death. It is kind of dumb though, the Alliance would be dead without that one pilot (which happens to be you). I still don´t get how the Coalition always seems to get an endless stream of fighters. According to that kill-board a lot of fighters have been downed. And, Alliance squadrons always seem to get wiped out entirely, Coalition squadrons seem to come back forever.

Guess that´s why they kill you when you shoot your wingmen. Maybe I´ll try targeting my old buddy Bandit and keep hitting f8 (attack my target) until Diceman comes up and shoots him. Think it´ll work? I know, but it´s fun thinking about it. Hey, how about that part just after nuking the Czar, when the newsman comes on and says it was destroyed by the Vampires &quot;assisted&quot; by the Tigers. Assisted?????? Just who cranked that Jackhammer in there???? Meanwhile Steiner and Bandit are chasing babes on the yesteyev and stealing their vodka!!! Boy that burns me up. &quot;Assisted&quot; my a**! Oh well, now I don´t have to yell at the screen anymore after getting that out! Boscoe.

Heres what i think the Co-Pilot does, see he takes care of the smaller stuff, things you just wont think of when you are fling aginst hundreds of coltion fighters. Why do you think fighters in real life have co-pilots. You ever played a Jane´s Combat Sim game, you know how hard it is to play, now compare it to SL <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Blitzkrieg 108th Armored Fist Squadron Commander Contributing Editor, <A href=´http://www.lancersreactor.org/´ Target=_Blank> Lancers Reactor.com</a>

Well, not all fighters have co-pilots. I might be getting a little mixed up here but its usually just the pilot, and the navigator? It only takes one person to fire the missiles, one person to shoot the guns, (thats why the fire buttons are on the controls right?) and you would think in the future most of the fighters would be easier to fly. Especially since your in space, no worrying about weird turbulence, no gravity. (not like Starlancer is realistically correct for a space sim anyway)

Actually wingmen surve a valuable purpose... deployable decoys!!!! Give the enemy more fighters to shoot at... &lt;type favorite witticism here&gt;

well I will stick with FS2. the story is much better, i thought the Ai was bad, but in SL, they stink reall bad! Why can´t they ever get it right? Fs1 had fantastic Ai, who hardlly died, but yet you did a lot of work, but something went wrong in FS2 <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Die shivans, die! MUWHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!

I noticed that your wingmen don´t have co pilots yet you have this annoying backseat driver, (Or shall I say pilot.) It´s like being the only cabdriver in New York (Or London or Los Angelis or..oh who who cares!!) but anywho, your ship might as well be yellow with checkers along the side rather then have tiger stripes. The only thing is ol Bullwinkle never gets out. Something that would be fun would to be between missions you could leave your room , sneak into someone elses bunk (I.E Banit´s Moose´s, diceman´s) and pull pranks like put itching powder in their beds or put fake turds and barfs on their floor. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> OR EVEN BETTER!!!! PUT THOSE THINGS IN THERE SHIPS!!! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle><img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> And remember,.... Don´t fly drunk.

Maybe is Moose to stupid to fly a spacecraft. The only thing he´s good for is to say something when you hit someone ---------------------- Veni vidi vici

I hate when I can´t try to take on the alliance fleet or steiner just to see how good he is. If I try the co-pilot says something like this (have you gone looko) or (you gona face a fireing squad for that. And after that he turns me in. In Wing Commander you had at least some time before the game ended. &quot;The one&quot; Edited by - Yutja on 8/31/00 12:39:24 PM

I vote for the addon pack that we can argue Moose´s random decision to have us killed. Honestly, sometimes I don´t even know what I´ve hit and it´s &quot;that was dumb, I´m taking you in!&quot; Frustrating especially when the mission was going so well. DOH! Stupid Tornado!

I´d like to BE the copilot sometime. Then I could randomly mess with Moose and see how HE likes it! Bulldog If I´ve put ordinance in you, by God you WILL be my kill! Edited by - Bulldog on 8/31/00 8:38:55 PM
