Re: AS-Mothership is ****!!!
First off, the controls are easy and intuitive for a space fighter sim. Go play one of the X-Wing or Wing COmmander games and I bet your head will spin. Of course, people didn't go around saying those games were **** just because someone can't navigate in 3-dimensions.
The warping effect simulates speed in space. Takes some time to get used to, but once you do it's not a problem. Same with the controls...once you get the barrel roll down pat you'll never get hit by another missle.
In case you were wondering, the lasers and missles show a very obvious splash when they make contact with an enemies' shields. Get better at aiming and maybe you'll see it more often.
Also, you can change the view to outside the cockpit by pressing F4.
Lay off Epic....they did a really good job with Mothership and the space fighters, and once you learn how to control them they're quite fun. This isn't Deathmatch where you can pick up a flak cannon and spam, nor Onslaught where you can jump in a Manta and run people over, this map requires SKILL to actually score ANY kills. Get better at it before you whine, because by the evidence in your post you haven't even tried.
P.S.: If you'd bothered reading the other topics with gripes similar to your (and titles I might add), I posted a rather lengthly strategy guide of how best to use the space fighters, as well as for the rest of the map. Since this is the umphteenth topic I've seen of this nature, I'm through being helpful. It's a lot easier just to rack up TOP GUNs all day than try to explain it to the deaf.

There's no changing the point-of-view, unlike every other vehicle in the game.
The field of view of the space sequence is what exactly? A fish eye on *** trip kinda thing you thought was cool? What's with all the warping forward and backward? What in the hell did you want--to give people severe motion sickness? Why not make every other vehicle in the game warp around randomly, too--so the ENTIRE game sucks, and not just the one map?
And do you realize players can't see what in the hell they're shooting at? Unlike any other space sim I've ever seen, you don't know if you're hitting anything, until you get a message you killed someone.
"You killed Malcolm."
"I did? How in the **** did I do that? Killed him with what? I can't even see what I'm shooting at!"
I don't know what you guys were thinking. The space vehicles should work like everything else in the game. Instead, you've made it look like some budget console trash that has no business being on a computer hard drive.
AS-MotherShip is a black eye on an otherwise fine game. Please do something about it, like take it out of the **** game.
