In my head-canon the X-wings and Y-wings were running full power to engines mostly to stay elusive enough to avoid the Turbolasers. It was basically thought to be a suicide mission so go full speed and **** the shields. I do wish there was a line in there to mention that.

Like the Democrats did for 4 years? Heck, Hillary Clinton said last week on the NY Times Podcast: “I was the candidate that they basically stole an election from,". Bit Hypocritical to just say accept the results and shut up. As close as the election was in some states, it would almost be negligence to not look into some of the results. Will they find enough evidence of fraud or manipulation to swing a state or three back? No, probably not.

Very forgettable. Kind of a letdown after the first episode was so good. Also, apparently those aren't even the same spider monsters (5:50): I don't mind filler episodes, but this just did nothing for me. Can we get a bit more original that small xenomorph eggs?

Any of you night owls watch yet?

Think we will see Cob Vanth again?

Is it next Friday yet!?!?

This is how FFG should be designing I6 pilots. They should have 'meh' abilities.

The games Ranking system is completely broken so that could be the issue there. I have only dipped my toes into MP (been too busy), however I am not really clamoring for it until things get sorted.

Is that Myhtrol from the 1st episode? Didn't really like his character.

Also, 40 dollar product. You aren't getting the $60.00 msrp AAA title polish and even then, some of those titles from EA do not feel "finished".

Yeah, DLC isn't happening. https://www.ign.com/articles/star-wars-squadrons-no-dlc-more-content-oculus-quest I honestly rather have a more robust sequel with way more ships, missions, modes, and better graphics. So far I really like the game, but its one I don't know if its going to be a long term game for me. It could be but I have barely dipped my toe into multiplayer. The graphics or lack there of are kind of a bummer. BF2 is so much better looking, its not even close. Honestly, this game looks like a game from a few years ago from a visual standpoint. I guess maybe the VR support kept it back. One complaint I have seen and I totally agree with is, why can't you actually walk around the hanger bay, briefing room, etc.? They modeled all of those areas out and not being able to freely explore them is an odd choice.

There was actually a shortage when Microsoft Flight Simulator hit. I was looking for a HOTAS and there just wasn't any available. Now it does appear that stock is coming back but prices are artificially inflated on this hardware. Also, it looks like for many brands shipping times are still long, 2-3 weeks, unless you pay a premium for shipping. For example, the Thrustmaster T-FLIGHT HOTAS ONE (or X) was around 100 bucks earlier this year, now good luck finding one for under 200. Honestly, if you can get a HOTAS setup for under $150 I would jump on it. I lucked out and got a Logitech Extreme Pro X3D (which is just a joystick locally) that was a returned item for about half of what they are going for. Works pretty well for Squadrons so far. Has 12 buttons, throttle, and a hat which is enough to get the job done. The rudder twist to roll is a bit wonky at first but after an hour of play I am pretty used to it.

https://venturebeat.com/2020/06/12/star-wars-squadrons-tease/ Some details leaked on a Star Wars game expected to be based solely on space combat. Not many details known right now except for a trailer that will be dropped Monday. Its EA though... so expectations are very tempered.
