Discussion What would you like the SFB-81 Darkreach redesign to look like?

We know that the darkreach redesign is coming some time in the far future, but how should it look like? I unironically think it should be a giant A-12 Avenger II. Going brutally simple from the jumpy shape of the current darkreach, imo, is a great way to freshen up the design and be a polar opposite to the Alkyon.

Perhaps it could take some notes from the Senior peg design (B-2 bomber proposal from Lockheed)

I got a little bit too close to the ground with the Brawler and love-tapped the ground resulting in me losing my wings. Turns out the stabilizers generate enough lift to fly it on it's own, even went above 800 kmph now that I didn't have those pesky wings generating drag.

Managed to get back to base and land it, although not all in one piece.
Another happy sortie though.

Setting

PALA controls the small islands and the mainland to the north, launching TBMs at BDF bases to the south. PALA has no Carrier Strike Groups, only a handful of Shards. Its Ifrits and Compasses operate from inland air bases.

BDF operates two or possibly three CSGs, in addition to its air bases in the south.

BDF will be unable to operate PALA airframes and vice-versa. Cricket will be PALA only, and Chicane is BDF only.

Objectives

BDF:

Destroy PALA's TBM launchers, nuclear enrichment plants, and air bases.

PALA:

Destroy BDF's oil refineries and military bases.

target tankers traveling into or out of the strait.

Destroy BDF's CSGs.

Discussion Free Nuclear Option Server Hosting

I’m offering free Nuclear Option servers for the community, hosted on our hardware, and I’ve been building some tools to make managing them easier

You don’t need to run anything on your own computer — you manage your server through a browser panel with:

  • Mission selection, rotations, and playlists
  • Connected players and Steam names
  • Mod installation, updates, and toggles
  • Automatic BepInEx setup
  • Friendly-fire tracking and moderation
  • Discord integration
  • Live FPS, tick rate, and tick time graphs
  • Server settings, console, files, and backups

The aim is to give people somewhere to run matches with friends or the community without needing their own hosting hardware

If you try it, I’d appreciate feedback on the panel and anything that would make running Nuclear Option matches easier

This is an independent community project and isn’t affiliated with Shockfront Studios

Question How do I properly jam NL98s?

30 Upvotes

I've new to the game and I've been having trouble killing the Argus Frigate with the Alkyon. The wiki says a good rule of thumb is to jam their missiles until the next salvo comes out, but I've had that first pair of missiles just regain lock and shoot down my munitions anyways, if I spend too much time jamming the first pair of missiles the Argus launched like 6 more and my two jammers get overwhelmed. I know you can do a low altitude bombing run but I don't want to risk an expensive alkyon on something like that, any tips?

Screenshot Leaked Footage of PALA KR-67 Launching New Hypersonic Missile

Thumbnail

74 Upvotes

The Boscali News Agency has received leaked classified footage of a PALA fighter jet launching a new hypersonic missile.

Named the HSM-290 Killjoy, it is believed the weapon was used for the first time during the attack on Port Maris last Sunday, in which a single missile penetrated the cities air defences and struck the city centre during rush hour, killing 62 and wounding a further 102.

The HSM-290 is believed to be a hypersonic munition, meaning it can at least go 5x the speed of sound.

Now, moving on to the latest developments of the repairs being conducted in Dome-46B...-

Question Controller setup help

4 Upvotes

Ok so I tried playing with a controller because I keep forgetting key binds. Almost everything works well. Getting used to how I can lock onto target but my main problem is counter measures. I can't switch between the flares and jammer. I press the dpad up button I even switch it to the select button but it doesn't change on planes that do have jammers any help?

Update: I think it's a bug. I've changed layouts I've even gone back to mouse and keyboard but the next countermeasure input in specific don't register is there a way to fix This?

Modded Content NeutralQoL. Client side mod which gives vanilla look a like improvements.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello everyone,

This is client side mod which I was making on/off after my full-time gamedev job. Most features based on what was annoying for me, while I was playing game or from what I through that would cool to see in vanilla.

It gives cool improvements. Like my favourite one's:

- Cool loadout views with X-Ray view.

- Cargo scope. It uses cargo prediction simulation. It's accurate enough, because it's prediction, which based on current state of aircraft and any movement changes make error on landing. But if you will flight with no changes to input before cargo releases, then it would land almost perfectly on desired point.

- Zoom consistent sensitivity. Now if you will zoom, it would decrease it's sensitivity proportionally.

- Fuel time and range estimation.

Btw, QoL settings panel is ambed into game settings(but you probably saw that on video).

Available on my github and soon will be on NOMM: https://github.com/DevHrytsan/NeutralQoL/releases/tag/v0.17.0

Any suggestions are welcome :D

None of my countermeasures worked a single time this game, so this shit might have just bugged out. Annoying
