He sounded quite serious when I chatted with him about it.

Traditionally cockpit views in games used to be prerendered 2D images of the control panel from the pilot's perspective. With 3D cockpits, the interior of the aircraft is modeled in 3D which allows the pilot to look around using the POV hats on their control sticks.

So this 3D rendered cockpit will give an advantage to joystick users? Well, I'm sure there will be keybinds you can use to look around as well.
I guess I'll have to give it a shot again. Haven't tried using a joystick since WWIIOL... Was kind of a PITA with the joystick and mouse fighting for space in the same spot on my desk though. |

In ps1 you could only pull a tank from sanctuary or if you were on a continent if your empire owned a tech plant. So, if you didn't have a tech plant it became an objective to go get one. Similarly in ps2, if you can't get a tank because of lack of resources it becomes an objective to go get the resources. And yea, the capability of dedicated driver/dedicated gunner is what was most interesting. A good tank team will murder solo driver/gunners. |

Good news indeed on the driver/gunner. We'll need to grin and bear driving/gunning until we cert up enough to use it. Who knows, maybe by then we will like driving and gunning? Not!
Interesting on 3D cockpit. Will need to try and find my old joystick under the bed somewhere. Also good detail on resources. So Auraxium is the way you earn station cash in the game. (Eve has that system, yes?). And you can deny an enemy the ability to make something like a tank or fighter by sitting on "their" resources. I always assumed resources would piggy-bank for us, so we can still build scythes for a while after losing the resource fields that support it? All sounds great! Want Beta, now! |

great interview!
the best part was, that it showed very clearly, that the devs in fact are listening to us! platoons were confirmed to be out. we had a passionate multipage discussion about this and showed the devs why we think we need platoons. now platoons are confirmed to be back. driver/gunner seperation was announced to be out, and we had discussions about this for months, showed the devs our views and possible solutions, and now matt talks about the solution that would make both sides happy. and they don´t just react to every uproar, which is great. they closely observe our passionate discussions and seem to distill the best ideas that came up, to find a solution that will work for all target groups. they could just have switched the tank model back to ps1 style to make us happy. but they had a reason to change it in the first place, so they needed a solution for the veterans/hardcore teamplayers that wouldn´t kill the tank fun for the casuals who are used to battlefield style 1 man tanks. and i think the solution mentioned in this interview would be perfect. i wanted dedicated driver back very hard. but i am more than willing to cert for this luxury. i just hope you don´t have to sacrifice utility slots for your dedicated driver option, but the exact balancing will be taken care of when we happen to actually man those things .

Or does dedicated driver = dedicated gunner? |
