Starhawk

[saberdragon]

Upon takeoff we have a slack handfull of swarm missiles for defence as we try to arm that are so woefully inadequate its a joke!!!!!

Why cant we have a few Flak rounds just two would do to give us a fighting chance against the fully armed predators that seem to wait for nearly unarmed Hawks to liftoff as easy pickings.....

What did we get in Warhawk?

A couple of chaffs and a machine gun, why should it be different in Starhawk?

Because this is'nt Warhawk its Starhawk ...

And when you have ex-warhawk generals dominating the skys with all there skills leant in the last game just waiting for easy pickings......

Or if you dont like the idea of a couple of rounds of Flak BORNXenon how about 5 seconds of stealth that should be enough to boost out of there & grab a weapon or two....

When you have Mech's just sitting up high on some of the space type maps waiting for  pilots to take off so they can go into Hawk mode & kill them straight off with Flak.....

Better still BORNXenon take a look at some of the players stats that are always in Hawks & your see very little troop weapons used but the flight weapons have loads of kills..

This game is vastly over balanced to the more experianced pilots , without a slight edge to get out of the killing zone a lot of ppl wont fly...

Well this simply won't do

Dear lightbox

Saberdragon would like very much for you to augment his hawk and add lots of free stuff to help him "take off" please add stealth and chaff and a shield and cluster bombs. Whilst you're at it can you add some things to my hawk

I'd like diamonds as headlights electric heated screens. A 6 disc cd player and some fluffy dice

No extra weapons for me please I can handle taking off

Be quicker then you won't have to request for additions to your hawk :') just boost out of their as quick as you can in any direction just to get your bearings

Sensing a very very slight sarcastic undertone to this post.

On a more serious note, I was never that good in a hawk on WH and used to get shot down as soon as I'd taken off, not surprising really when you had people like Morgo, Warrior101, Shika and McDuff patroling the skies.

However, in Starhawk, I find it much simpler to fly, and its certainly easier to scrub missiles.

If when you take off you hear the annoying beep of a missile lock, move the left stick and press X, more often than not you will escape the missile. It really is that easy in this game.

I'f you are still struggling, maybe you need to change the flight controls? I couldn't get on with the normal flight controls, but managed to find that Advanced Flight controls are very similar to WH's Pro Flight and has made flying the hawks a breeze.

Give it a go.
