I created a group on Discord. Join us and we will get platinum together. https://discord.gg/pujQuZzN

Never bought it when it came out, wasn't really interested. Normally it's 39.99 USD but at the moment it's on sale for only 1.99 USD lol. Thought i might give it a try since it's dirt cheap at the moment, should I go for it?

I’ve been struggling to drift lately for some reason. This has never been an issue before, but in the last day or so, my drifting has been so inconsistent.

I’ll boost, then press the boost button again while turning, and more often than not, nothing happens. There seems to be two issues that cause it -

The first is the boost deactivating when I release the boost button. I hold the button to boost, then in the split second when I release to press again to drift, the boost stops and the second press just boosts me again. Because the boost stops when I release, no drift.

The second time it happens, the boost is maintained when I release the button, but hitting the button again doesn’t cause the drift. It basically just boosts the ship again even though I never stopped boosting to begin with. So I’ll be trying to boost - button pressed with the flight stick cranked to one side to turn - and I’ll press the button to drift 3-5 times and nothing happens.

Does anyone know why this might be happening? It’s super frustrating when trying to dog fight.

Hey gang, new pilot here. I'm all set up with SWS installed via Steam and Virtual Desktop running. When I do as many other suggest and start the game from the menu in Virtual Desktop, the controls go batshit and it won't run in VR. I just see a screen in front of me. If I try to toggle VR, it tells me to hold - to calibrate and then just goes back to the way it was.

If it even thinks it sees my hands it steals control from the mouse\keyboard or XBox controller. This is a terrible experience so far. Is there a newbie guide I can follow or get some tips from a pro with a similar setup?

Running PC, Steam, 7800x3D, 4070 Super, Quest 3.

This game has always been on my radar since release, I just don’t play multiplayer games anymore since I hit my 30’s, picked it up on Black Friday on sale, and holy shit the combat is phenomenal, got veteran all medals done and it was a blast, maybe someday I’ll come back for ace.

Really wish this game was à la star Fox 64 single player, but I’m sure that’s been belabored to death.

Great game, I get why so many of you still play it and if I was younger I’d probably do as well.

Good afternoon, flying aces. I'm looking for German groups that play on Playstation. But I would also join English groups if there are any that are still active. I think it's a real shame that the game isn't as active anymore.

hello good people in the galaxy far far away, i have a problem. i run the game on PC and the game identify my ps5 dualsense controller as a flight stick. what should i do? I connect the controller by usb cord.

I pretty much exclusively play Fleet Battles AI (I'm not much for multi-player and it's fun to play while doing something else) and I've noticed that if the enemy goes on the attack when their flagship is nearly down they tear through my own flagship like it's made of moof butter. I just finished a game where my MC-75 was at more than 50% health, but the enemy AI took it down in a single strike. Is this how the game works on the back-end or am I just imagining things?

Hey guys I’m new to the game and have spent the last 2 nights trying to get my quest 2 set up with a stable FPS.

I’ve been reading and trying everything I can find and trying it all but i still can’t seem to get above 60fps whilst dropping to around 35fps with in game settings currently at low.

Im using the quest2 with link cable, I have ryzen 5 5600 and rtx 3060ti which seems to be running pretty hot trying to keep up.

Hoping someone can help im desperate 😩

I have a few questions I could use some help with

I absolutely ruined myself with this plasma cannon. this gun sucks so much it is literally impossible to use! even in campaign AI move way to much to actually hit them and the reticle is so damn small by the time it turns red they are already out of your sights! i have hit an x wing maybe ONE time with a fully charged blast and it does not even take out their shield! there has to be ZERO players using this weapon. plus this game is impossible without the self repair skill, playing those few missions without it were hell. idk how anyone on multiplayer uses ship types without it. and dodging missiles! oh my god it is so bad, i do what the game says and boost engine power and go to half throttle and to sharp turns yet the missile ALWAYS hits me. i love the idea of the game but it needs serious work. and since i doubt updates are coming anymore it will never be fixed

I bought the game on Steam and can't join friends. However, if I use my free copy from Twitch (EA version) I can invite steam friends. And still find no one in matchmaking, I guess there's just no salvation at this point.

Since the only way to unlock the cosmetics is to earn credits in multiplayer matches and that is currently impossible thing to do, why are they not free and unlocked?

I want to grab some of the voice lines from the game. Is there any way to get the audio files from local files or otherwise?

Tried to invite three of my friends (we're all on Steam) to a lobby in the game, but we all got the code above. Is there a solution to this? It worked perfectly 3-4 years ago. Couldn't find a solution for that problem.

Many of you know that a few of us within the community gather for some fleet battles every Tuesday around 10 PM eastern. This is a great, simple way to get involved in the community and learn the game. If we get enough people together and willing, we may queue together for games for XP. Feel free to hop in Discord. https://discord.gg/CSwaFXgb

In case you missed it: The third installment of the SABACC Tournament, a pseudo-competitive tournament intended to help newer players get a taste of Fleet Battles, is still open for pilot registrations!

There are systems in place to guarantee that all players can have a good time and feel impactful in every match, no matter their experience level. It should be an opportunity for newer pilots to spend time with veterans and learn the ropes to whatever extent they want to,, so please do not hesitate to register!

You can find more details in the previous post or the original announcement, as well as the official SABACC website.

The event is targeted to players that can have some degree of availability during Euro evening/Americas afternoon/Asia-Pacific early morning times (loosely 19-21 UTC, but not exclusively).
Registration will stay open until Friday December 6th, at 8pm UTC. 24 hours later, the team draft event wil happen over at DecoyTango's Twitch stream!

Bonus track: Monday Fleet Battles!

Additionally, in slightly under an hour (19 UTC) we'll be coming together for our weekly Monday Fleet Battles session, which, as usual, is open to anybody who wants to join. If we get enough people, we'll try to revive the Ranked Fleet Battles queue for a while!

All of this and more, over at the Lucky Sabacc Shift (LSS) Discord server. Hope to see you all there! 🫡
