locking thrusters in at max?

Thu May 05, 2005 10:08 pm by vipergxy

ok so I just got this game and it's really fun, but I hate having to hold down thrusters when I'm in combat or free flying... I know about the cruise, but it seemed that there was some way to lock my thrusters in to travel at max (79 atm) and I wouldnt have to hold down the key it would just stay at max unless i held down lower thrusters or reverse thrusters, once I let that key go it would go back up to max... now it always drops instead, how do I get it back to how it was before?

Due to a small bug in game, you can press & hold the thrust key, then move your mouse over your contact/weapon list and then releare your thrust. This sometimes causes your thruster to continue going until you run out of power or press the key again.

Although with anything less than a heavy thruster, locking them in isn't such a good idea. Anyone else noticed that you can make course corrections when you're just drifting at cruise speed using the thrusters?

Try engine kill... and use thrust with that - you will learn its technique quick enough - and you will also not then find (at the critical point) that you are actually out of thruster ability!

You can also hold your thruster, hit enter twice (opens and closes dialog box in MP) and release thruster. It kinda 'locks' it for you... but only until you do something else..

really cool glitch, use engine kill and if you wait you will hit tradlane speed
