I’m a massive sci fi fan and played the ever loving shit out of Star Citizen for a while there. Loved the 6 degrees of freedom and the capability to be a person or a starship.

I know Starfield is coming in September and I’m excited for what is has to offer but in the interim does anybody have a sci fi/star fighter game they can recommend? I kickstarted Everspace 2 so I can give that a go and I’m almost done with the current No Man’s Sky expedition

Fair enough. I do still like it as well, but that game does have some dead air. I'm not surprised that the read on Squadron's pacing would be heavily dependent on how much Tie Fighter/X-Wing you played, or that the devs split the difference to some degree.

    I really appreciated having the 4x time compression option in TIE Fighter to hurry things along when you're just flying from A to B. They then inexplicably removed that capability from X-Wing Alliance.

    Most of the time, I thought the missions were ok. I like the tension when the designers used the dead air effectively, like the calm before the storm.

    There are times when the time compression helps, but I don't remember using it very often.
