I used the F2 jumpdrive.

When I press it I warp to the waypoint and then my stick doesn't work anymore?

Ah yes, the tunnel of travel. Hit your jump drive button then watch to see when you are close to your destination and hit jump key again to exit jump. Thats how this time around.

Opps you posted as I typed.

Well, either way it works, it shouldn't lose my stick now, should it?

No it should not, but then again "famous last words"!:o

So, you manually initiate a jump and then manually disengage the jump drive ... and, after you re-enter normal space, your joystick is borked?

Yep bought the game today and tried it, works nice. Is there only one sector though? or is that just in the beginning and more will open up as you progress? could not zoom in or out of the map like in the other 3 games I own, this is now my fourth game..........

:P

Each mission is one sector only. The universe is basically the same as you can set any sector that exists in EM as a mission sector in the editor. But it isn't a free-form game like the evochron series.

Ah, thanks for the info....So you bassicaly only have acces to the sectors of the Universe only through the missions and missions editor!....Kind of disapointing, but I can understand that for massive battles to save on resources why it is this way in Arvoch Alliance......I like the 3D Sector map though!, can we have that in EM on the things I like to add Thread!.....

:P

If you fool around with the Mission Editor, creating your own missions, you might discover how some resources are saved.

Can you use the mission editor to create a mission called "Landing on Earth Quest"?........

:P:P:P:P:P:P

No comment. But maybe you can use it to script a "find a hidden wormhole" mission. Btw, landing on Earth in AA wouldn't count.

MP is online. I think someone should make a post about this. Any player can host MP and have it list publicly. There can be no persistent servers like R1 because the host must always be the one to manually select modes/missions and press the launch button.

Therefore, MP can be online whenever anyone wants it to be!

Great work Vice! Got the DL, looking forward to some stick time in Arvoch...

Galaxian · Post by **Galaxian** » Sun Nov 20, 2011 6:04 am

Got to play a bit just now and I'm really liking the mission based operations.

I've noted an odd behavior when I click the "launch" button in the nav console. Most of the time, it generates a "wingman protect me" order rather than engaging the jump drive. Occasionally, I get a jump.

Maarschalk · Post by **Maarschalk** » Sun Nov 20, 2011 8:23 am

The Keyboard mappings are a little bit different then in Mercenary so if you are using a controller you might need to reasign or create a new profile for your controller!.....

Purchased game. Great job Vice. This is the best space combat simulator there today.
I also believe that the only one...

I have a tip for every one on AA. Do not try to leave the sector of the mission even after you have succesfully completed a mission in AA. If you try to do so your fate will be the same as that of trying to land on Earth in EM.....
Mmmmmmm, maybe if I use the technique I use for landing on Earth I might be able to sneak into another sector.....
