Direct Fire?  What's that?  Haven't been around here enough to know that. :)

Direct Fire

one thing i would like to be able to do is to specify  a ship for escort.

i like flying the Hyperion and have a Tempest as escort.

but i can not if i have fighter wings because the game will assign me a fighter wing instead of the Tempest.
which means i don't use fighters.
Mirco-managing id left to your "subordinates," the AI.  it determines the best ship for the job.

well,

me and the AI have a difference of opinions on this.   ;)

Fair enough :) Without going into too much detail, this is something I'd like to handle better. I think the concern you bring up is a valid one (and comes up in some other situations). I've got some thoughts on how to address it - but nothing that's definite enough that I can really talk about.

Also: hi, and welcome to the forum!

tnx Alex!

congratulations on this jewel of a game.

at my age, i have played lots of games.
Starfarer is one of the very best i have played so far.
even at this Alpha stage.

just bloody amazing!  :)

i used to play a multi-players game called Sniper/SubSpace eons ago which also used Newtonian physics for flying the ships.

i must congratulate Alex.
this is one of the very best game i have ever played.

just amazing!  :)
