http://www.starsonata.com/TestClient.zip We are experimenting with adding a ship deceleration keyboard control on the Test server: test.starsonata.com The new default for the new deceleration control is the 'S' key or Down-Arrow. The Cloak keyboard command has been moved to the 'B' key. You might have to reset your keyboard defaults if it isn't working for you. The keyboard reset is found under the menu: options->keys->Reset button for Windows XP users. There is also a new audio file contained with TestClient.zip file. Put this sound file in your StarSonata\snd directory. |

No. No. No. No. If it was acuallly reverse thrust, yes. Just auto slowing yiou down, absolutely noy its awful. Dont mess with the arcade feel of SS. |

Hmm, I agree. Removes the arcade feel from SS, do not put this in. Also, you dont get engine vis when you slow down.. |

Looks like a nice and useful feature, I'm not sure what the fuss is all about. It allows you to decelerate at a fraction of your engine's power, which should come in handy when there are interferences, you're being gremmed by sawtooths/reavers and so on. |

The feature on itself is nice.... But, whatever you point your ship to, it'll slow down. That seems a bit unrealistic.. yeah, of course we'll get that story about SS+realism etc, but it also ruins the feeling of making it hard to brake. Reverse thrusters would be more fun imo  Nice feature

The reasoning behind testing this is to make things easier for new players. We maybe don't realize it because we've been playing so long, but SS is actually a pretty difficult game to play compared to others. |

I got a few mates of mine to start playing it, they stopped after ~1hour because they seriously did not get what was going on Probably the people that disagree with it are the people that have been playing for a longer time and don't want to get rid of that SS feeling. But they're not thinking about the newer guys. |

meh...if it goes in, im deffo changing the buttons so B is brake and S is cloak. I admit it could be handy in certain circumstances. |

First impressions are it makes docking 10 times easier, one thing i found very hard as a new player as i didnt fully understand autopilot and lag was so bad then that it didnt really work anyways. And ruins arcade feel of game. Can't really quantify it but it just doesnt feel the same. ofc i could just not use it but thats not really the point. |

I really don't think this will make things easier for new players, just adds another movement key that they have to learn (and could potentially make it harder) |

i actually agree with this although its totally unnecessary to me now, when i first started SS i quit for 2 reason (A) preloads suck (B) you cant stop teh damn ships, if everyone has such a problem with it delete the key from your controls and make cloaking 's' there you problem solved |
