RE Destroying rigged asteroids

[SweenMachine]

For the love of all that is holy, give us some indication of where the other detonators are once the countdown starts. This is an insanely tedious task compared to everything else I've seen so far, purely because I need to guess at where the detonators are (I'm playing cockpit so I don't get much extra camera)

[Yes Indeed!]

you don't need to guess. fly around the asteroid and look at it before smacking detonators. and then use your prefrontal lobe to recall their locations.

[SweenMachine]

I do that and get a general idea, but I don't have enough peripheral vision to make any minor adjustments, so if I'm not just about right on the path I need to start again. I get it, it's an exercise in precisely flying the ship, I'm just saying a visual indicator would be a huge help for cockpit players.

Switch to 3rd person... and... when it's still a pain, do what I do and switch the game to VERY EASY just for that. It gives you WAY more time.

I won't judge you. The timed stuff is annoying as hell. I 'cheat' it and I don't care!

[SweenMachine]

I don't want to get out of the cockpit (just my preference), but I never considered that Easy mode might give some more time. Thanks for the suggestion!

yeah but you have 5-9 seconds (some reset the timer, some do NOT), this is very tedious very boring very frustrating and i just tend to ♥♥♥♥ these ones off.

5 seconds to do it on normal, 8-9 seconds on easy, not sure what very easy will do but that last one to find still doesnt, i have no sense of direction plus added crap control of the craft does make this 1 dogsbollck crappy mission type

What do you mean you gotta fly around the asteroid?

Yeah exactly, I get a general idea and then it starts taking attempts from there, if you guys are remembering exactly where they are like it sounds to me like you're saying that's incredible, must make these super easy!

[SharkPlush]

Yeah I do feel just leaving the cockpit out would have been wiser from a design perspective, but then you got HOTAS guy who wants to do his thing

I play on lower difficulty specifically because timers are a terrible game mechanic.

Place markers on the detonators. Problem solved.

Seconded.

Check your input buttons, there's prolly some good ♥♥♥♥ there you didn't know about.

[Sigs]

also vanguard slows time, so there's that.

I tried playing with a cockpit, and while it was very immersive, I couldn't do anything. Especially in tunnels. Even with 90 degrees fov. Bomber class.
The cockpits need to have a ton more vision. They should rework all of the cockpits for that.

[kelmenwong]

try put down a turret at/near the detonator as marking

Confirmed! Three markers help IMMENSELY, thank you!
