GEI Insight & Analysis Episode 13

[@RollinShultz]

One of my first key bindings was to reassign shields to ctrl + x because I kept hitting x instead of c constantly. I also added a mouse button for the 'f' key and another for the jetpack. One problem I regularly enccounter is when I use the mouse to open containers, using it again often does not close the container. I resort to the escape key to close containers.

I wish I could train my brain to handle more than 6 side buttons on a mouse so that I could bind the jetpack & other convenience keys to it, but alas not in the near future at least.

Front cockpits with big glass are cool, but no matter how a ship is built I always put a captain's chair in the hangar since I spend most of my time there either changing into an SV or taking the ramp out to loot a POI.

[@akevabanshee3632]

Smart. I prefer SVs that are combat focused or will come close to, support combat to have cockpits further back.

Hello again Banshee, and thank you again for the review and the kind words. 😉 You may have figured it out by now but when you reviewed my Coyote Tank Destroyer you questioned the different fonts I had used for the "Stats" & "Details" etc titles on the workshop, and as a thank you I wanted to share my little secret so you can do it too to use on your workshop items if you'd like. They're images. 😄 I wrote the words in a photoshop-a-like image editor (I used GIMP... 'cos it's 1 letter away from my name, lol), on a transparent background of course and saved as a png file, then I host those little one-word images on another workshop item (my "Terms, Definitions & Conventions" guide), and then simply paste the link to each, obviously surrounded by [img] tags, in the description for each build. 👍 As for my "Weapons&Shields" device group toggle - if you're opening the Control Panel ("P Menu") to turn on your shields and weapons you're clicking two switches, but if you open the same menu and click on my Weapons&Shields switch, it's doing them both but with one click instead of two. You can still do it through the menu, it's just simplified.... sorta (you don't have to use the Ctrl+Shift+3 keyboard shortcut). There is also instructions in the description and my Tour video (and also hidden off the bottom of the warning LCD, actually) on moving the generators around in the device groups if people are worried about the shields making the generators explode because there aren't enough on by default. 😉 Thank you again, Banshee. 👍

Oh yeah: turning the Weapons&Shields on will also turn on two weapon control HUDs (LCD Projectors) for the 2 passenger seats in the cockpits; the rear door is not on a sensor so it doesn't open while someone is getting O² and accidentally expose them to hostile ground forces, but there is a Signal Shortcut for it so it can be opened by the pilot (or any seat AFAIK); there is also a Railgun in the nose; I believe you were looking for the Coyote in the collection - that's in the AFHVs collection. ;)

I will definitely be using quite a few of the ideas and concepts you implemented in this build in future projects! Keep up the good work. It's always nice to see builders that give new & returning users to the game quality, well thought out builds.

@@akevabanshee3632 Awesome! Thank you so much. ;) Say hello to your doggos for me. XD
