No lag or anything else bad. I had a pretty hard time keeping down on one foe or another, but I think missiles will fix that. I see something I’ll add to the fighter tactic forums.

Way more assists this time.

My KD ratio seems to be returning to normality :fearful:

Another 4 week gap again before the next test - sorry about that. There’s lots to do at the front- and back-ends, and so we’re going to make a concerted run at it without the distraction of a playtest in the middle!

Many thanks for your patience!

Awesome playtest today. Only one crash in Chrome, but other than that it was smooth and bug-free throughout.
