Raxxla is now filming porn? Looks like the HIP 22460 Thargoid War will have a nice soundtrack.

Each copy of Elite should be shipped with a pair of cast iron Grindmaster 9000 sticks.

Been there and know your pain.
the irony of the t16000 fragility is that the entry level T-Flight is more robust.
I had both. Honestly shocked with how quickly the T16000 started to give trouble and struggled on with it for about 1000hrs before i switched to a far better stick

so can highly recommend the VKB GLADIATOR NXT stick.

Currently i use it with the t16000 TWCS throttle that came with the t16000... but oh dear... the differance in quality. build quality, robustness and indeed the fact VKB provide spare parts, video guides on how to fix things, swappable buttons hat switches etc.

puts trustmaster to shame

mate 100% recommend it. used it now for about 600 hrs. and its never skipped a beat.

check out reviews of it etc. but i can tell you from someone who's used the t flight and the t16000
that this is a massive upgrade. its night and day.

VKB in stock these days? When I went searching for a HOTAS, they were always out. Had to go with Virpil and haven't looked back since.

Edit: Thanks "behind the scenes" Artie.

Yuna SakashiroEven with a Cutter, solo-ing threat level 8 wing assassination missions is still challenging.

I guess I need 8A shields or prismos for those. Bi-weaves deplete too fast.



Prismos did the trick. Just completed a mission against a wing of four, with 79% hull and 29% shield left.



Have you thought about using SCB?

Ouuu using succubus...yeeeah uumm

There is stock yes. just the one i have is out of stock but they have their new line of space combat sticks and throttles in stock.

Virpil are also amazing by all accounts. Only draw back, they are hella expensive.
But I'd love to get my hands on one to give it a try.
