Aircraft Performance Certifications

Craftyatom · 2012-09-13, 07:57 PM

So, being very much into flying (when my fps is above 10), I decided I was going to Cert for a Mosquito. I went in and got certifications for all of the different stats (turning, top speed, etc.), because I wanted to boost them all.

Upon further inspection, in the Mosquito customization screen, there is a "performance" section, where I found all of my certifications, but could only select one.

When I tested, though, my top speed seemed not to change with the module equipped in the performance slot.

My question is: Can I really only have one performance enhancer equipped at a time, or is this window not an indication of which Certifications are being used?

LOL, I found that out the hard way too

. I bought all the armor for the Mag and Lightning before I realized it.

I can't really say that I've seen much improvement from using those. I have vertical thrust 3 equiped but I really don't feel like it helps much. I'll have to try it out with and without to see if I can feel a difference.

You cert into it, then you must equip it in the vehicle load out. Similar to scopes, supressors, and laser dots on weapons. And the speed boost DEFINITELY works. I have level 4 top speed on a mosquito and it's insanely fun

Sounds like the thing to go for, can't wait!

If only I had saved those other 75 points...

I've got the speed upgrades on the Galaxy and it's great. I was disappointed when I found out I could only use one

Hamma as an wannabe gal pilot I have to ask how fast does the gal go with the highest speed cert you unlocked? its abit like a flying winabago at baseline and not even the space traveling one

Hamma · 2012-09-13, 10:37 PM

I'm not to the highest quite yet.. soon. I've been able to get up to the 200 range (not consistently) right now.

Ninja fast reply

thx man, So you recon somewhere above 200 at max then? sounds sweet

My Gal certs are in turning, because in general landing requires tight yaw, and it takes FOREVER to turn a Gal. Survival rarely relies on me being fast (I'm still gonna be the slowest thing in the sky (Or maybe not if it's as fast as you say O.o)), but quick turns can get the Gal onto the ground in the perfect spot easier.

Thoughts?

I've used my speed to make a quick exit in the past - so I'm sure they all have their strengths.

Maybe it's the new patch but I can totally tell a difference now with the v thrust.
