It's a giant pain in the butt, awkward and frustrating.īeing able to just hit a command and have SA activate or having it optimize flight times would just make it sooooooo much better. Often, what's involved is a bunch of scrolling to find the station, then more scrolling to select SA and activate it, all while looking in a direction that isn't forward when you're playing in VR. Not a lot of time to activate SA without a lot of extra maneuvering.Īnd sometimes, the station you're going to isn't automatically selected for you, like if it's a system you've never been to before.Īnd sometimes, I get distracted-maybe reading the Codex or Handbook, or just zoning out when the destination is half-a-million LS away-and I miss when I should be making turnover. Sometimes, you drop out of hyper right on top of your destination, less than 200 light seconds away. If you're not planning on leaving the pilot seat, then spending a couple of seconds to open the panel and activate SC-assist shouldn't be a problem. Neither of which accomplish my goal, which is using SA as an auto-pilot for dropping out of hypercruise while not having my throttle in the middle during the middle of the flight, before the throttle needs to go down in order to make the transition from supercruise to normal flight. To have it stay at optimal speed on approach, you either adjust the throttle when nearing your destination, or leave throttle control on. 引用自 Mio Rin:Yes, it would overshoot if you're going to fast. It would just be really handy to be able to just go, *click*, and activate SA just at the right moment for it to get you to your destination, or to have it minimize flight time as part of its functionality. Cuz you either have to choose to be hyper-vigilant to know when to activate it in time to hit your destination or you have to accept longer flight times. And since there actually is a rather large source of reading material built right into the game in the form of the Codex, GalNet, and the Handbook, and since you either have to pick up most of that information by osmosis, by reading, or by reading on the internet, it seems a great opportunity to do it would be as an in-flight magazine, no?Īnd if there was either a hotkey to activate it or a setting that maximizes speed to reduce flight time, it'd be perfect.Īs is.less perfect. Elite:Dangerous is basically a sci-fi road trip simulator punctuated by the occasional pit stop or guys tryin'a rob ya. Indeed, a lot of flying from place to place is just.waiting. (By contrast, I've sold my auto-dock assist computer because I actually really enjoy landing, especially in my Type-6 transport with that huge panoramic cockpit.) It's not like I'm being robbed of some really important gameplay experience if I let the autopilot do all of that flying. I mean, let's face it, until it's time to do something out of supercruise, you're basically just flying in a straight line. I want supercruise assist to be like my ex: fast and easy. So it wouldn't be an "always go for it" device, and people will have to fly by themselves, if they want to get there faster. The supercruise assist isn't meant to get you there easy and fast, only easy. If I do anything to make supercruise assist disengage in any fashion (other than losing alignment with the destination, that is) means I will have to manually reengage it my own darn self. In my experience, supercruise assist is either on or it is off temporarily overriding it and having it reengage automatically after some condition or other is met is.not a thing. Then you can pull it back to 2/3rd and it will re-engage. 引用自 Dolphin Bottlenose:Or you can set your throttle behaviour to manual, and push it to the maximum, and the assist will be temporarily overridden. Seriously.having a key-binding for this would be really handy. When you're that far out, revving your engines to the max is the way to go.right up until you need to throttle down to leave supercruise.īut since that's not an option in supercruise assist-indeed, they insist on keeping that throttle right in the middle!-then I only want to activate it when I'm, oh, say, 200-ish lightseconds from the destination.īUT, since there is no hotkey for it, you have to look at your navigation panel to activate it.which means you have to be paying attention, which means you can't use supercruise assist like an autopilot, which means you can't be, say, reading the Codex or Handbook while you travel. Now, while that makes sense when you're actually approaching your destination, it makes no sense at all if you're literally half a million light seconds away. See, here'z the problem: supercruise assist doesn't give a rat's tiny hiney about getting you where you want to go quickly it leaves the thottle in the middle instead of flooring it. Well, curse it all, they need to add this.
