Flight of Nova advanced guide: High-altitude stations

[@kenyonmanderson8048]

You make it look so easy! Going to have to try the techniques you used and see if I do any better.

[@scottromesburg7935]

I just love the fact that it's more realistic than some...and it's not a shootemup type of game. The music tracks are pretty cool also.

[@WingC3]

Yeah, Sullen is cool. Galdar is neat too for the far out view of the planet. Hopefully a launching point for somewhere even further away sometime soon.

[@eikopoppy29]

Yeah agreed, I hope that happens too. Even just having an airless moon to go visit would add so much to the game.

I've made it out to all of the stations but mostly from other stations, I may have never launched all the way out from land. But, I did not know the trick about watching the station to see how it moves relative to your view, and then stopping it from moving, that is a very interesting thing. I suppose it doesn't work really from far away, but while the station will not move particularly far along in it's orbit during your travel time, it's amazing. It's almost like the other games where the station is static,, it's just as simple as learning how to MAKE the station static, and then it works the same way again.

Yeah, once I realized how well it worked (as long as you're close/fast enough) I started doing it that way every time. Trade some fuel efficiency for time and simplicity. It always makes me think of the "manual course correction" scene from Apollo 13 😄 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGaXoWiJh6xkrpI

@@eikopoppy29 to think they went out to space in a manually controllable spacecraft, and did not have a proper single-person 6axis control system, simply because "no one could drive it". and still today it is not properly represented in the game industry.

Damn that pilot took more than 12g for 2 or so minutes no problem. That's a great pilot right there.

[@eikopoppy29]

Yeah not even maneuvering either, the ship just has that much TWR so it must be intentional. The pilot character must be augmented or genetically engineered or something.

amazing! As well as allways! thank you bro!

[@matthewwagner47]

Are there different shuttles an space craft avalible? Can you fly to the moon atleast?

[@eikopoppy29]

There are three ships. I don't know if more will be added. Two are very similar and the third is an actually different ship. There's only one planet in the game right now in early access, but the dev says there will be two other planets and "probably" a moon around one of them.
