Question about Arvoch

LowfatEnvelope · Post by **LowfatEnvelope** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 2:43 am

Does Arvoch Alliance use the exact same ship/movement/combat system as EM? (I know it's all mission focused, but i'm wondering about if the ship control aspects are the same).

If so, would it be possible to use Arvoch Alliance to get used to EM combat as AA appears to be all or mostly combat focused? I haven't done much with EM's combat side yet but was curious on how/if this would work. Thanks for replies

It is very similar but a bit more challenging and tactical. I think it would help, since if you can master Arvoch combat you will do very well in EM.

Ok thanks for the quick reply

I'm not sure if i'll actually try this approach yet, but it seems very fun so i wouldn't mind picking it up anyway.

That would be the "sink or swim" approach ... you start out with a trainer ship, pitted against the best pilots of the Federation.

Yep, the only difference in flight dynamics is the use of the jumpdrive since there is only one class of jumpdrive in Arvoch Aliance because you are only dealing with one sector at a time. So when you engage your jumpdrive you move at 10k speed in the sector to your Nav/Waypoint....

Actually, you move at 10k in the direction your ship is pointing. If you use autopilot, you'll probably come close to your waypoint. Close enough, anyway.

Oh yes, Marvin is right, you can still jump to your waypoint or use the Autopilot which will let you cruise to your waypoint at 10k speed.......

Thanks for the additional info
