In this video, SaltEMike reacts to a video titled “A Dogfighter’s Guide to Ship Combat Settings in Star Citizen” by Moist, a fellow Star Citizen player. Moist’s video aims to provide helpful tips and settings for combat in the game, not just for dogfighters, but for all players. He explains the concepts of coupled and decoupled flight modes, highlighting their pros and cons. Moist recommends learning to fly decoupled sooner rather than later, as it can be more challenging but ultimately beneficial.
Moist also discusses the speed limiter setting, which can make landing easier for new players but should be disabled for more maneuverability in combat. He mentions the proximity assist setting, which reduces thrust near the ground but can limit maneuverability in atmospheric dogfights. Moist suggests checking this setting if the ship feels sluggish.
The video goes on to explain the differences between fixed weapons and gimbals, which automatically turn towards the target. While fixed weapons generally do more damage, gimbals can assist with aiming. Moist mentions that in the future, gimbals will no longer require smaller weapons, but will have a lower fire rate compared to fixed weapons. He advises players to experiment and find what works best for them.
Moist also touches on weapon convergence, which determines how far from the ship the weapon fire should converge. He recommends adjusting this setting to improve accuracy, especially when aiming at close-up objects. The video covers other settings like nameplates, field of view, notifications, and ESP (Enhanced Stick Precision), providing tips and suggestions for each.
Overall, Moist’s video offers a comprehensive guide to ship combat settings in Star Citizen, providing valuable information for players looking to improve their combat skills.
