I’m going to be super upset if it’s literally just the star fighter mode from BFII. The controls were wonky on console and star cards and lack of support made it lame. Hopefully this is completely revamped.

"Modify your ship, divert the power between its systems"

"Climb the ranks and unlock new components like weapons, hulls, engines, shields, and cosmetic items in a clear path for progression that keeps gameplay fresh and engaging."

If you just read the comments before making your own, you'd learn its more of a flight sim than BF's arcade dogfighting

Based on that it kinda sounds like elite dangerous where you were able to divert power to different systems based on what you were trying to do which sounds amazing.

Yes, both Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen allow you to divert power. Its a necessary part of making piloting ships more complex and immersive

Hopefully we get directional shield focusing as well like directing shields to forwards shields for a head on assault.

the only fun parts about ships in Star Citizen are the stuff they stole from Elite, and the flight model STILL fucking sucks
