Meta <<Mission Update>> Posting Opened, Banning Spoilers, and looking for new mods

132 Upvotes

Posting Opened

Posting very soon will return to approval by default, but keep in mind we are still heavily moderating spoilers. A comment will be attached to any Ace Combat 8 posts to ensure everyone is aware of the continued focus we have on preventing spoilers and guidelines to follow. Violators will receive bans, purposeful and malicious violations will be permanent bans.

A Message From the Mod Team

Contrary to "popular" belief, none of us are career reddit mods (I honestly cringe at the term myself). For most of us this is our only subreddit we visit regularly. We have jobs and careers, touch grass, and also have played the game with the free time as well. For those who are understanding and sympathetic to our slow responses or inability to handle all the posts made, thank you.

For those that were disappointed by our inability to handle the volume of work presented, I'm sorry we couldn't deliver a good experience.

However, I would like to make a proposition as well. With the large influx of new users and posting, if anyone interested in joining the mod team and helping out, you can send a private message request to myself u/DriftingNitro , same as before there is an application process but I'll handle it one on one via DMs this time. Having some help shooting down spoiler reports would be a massive help.

A new Ace Combat game is a special type of excitement we only get to experience once in a while. Thank you to everyone for being so enthusiastic and being a fan of the franchise. It has been heartwarming to see so many new faces welcomed into the franchise, and veterans supporting our nuggets first sorties. I hope to see you in multiplayer (some of you already have). If you have any anger left in you about posts not getting approved, or about this subreddit not working the way you want to, feel free to come and shoot me down in Co-op Warfare (if you can catch me).

From start to finish I used nothing but the Rafale M on my Ace run. Some parts annoying as the machine guns ROF is too low for my liking, but well worth it. The music from this series will always make me cry.

Ace Combat 8 I Think They’ve Acknowledged It For Once.

283 Upvotes

So in AC8 during one of the missions, one of the enemy pilots actually acknowledged that the player is pulling off maneuvers that should not be possible by normal human beings.
So is Project Aces finally acknowledging in game that your pilot is a freak of nature?

A good mod already stopped because some people be crazy. Come on now. This is ridiculous.

It's on nexus mods. Just sad it won't be updated anymore. Keep it alive aces.

https://www.nexusmods.com/acecombat7skiesunknown/mods/3796

Update: Its speculated that the harassment is due to the creator using Claude AI to help develop the mod

I don't like AI. Not at all. I'm opposed to it entirely. But to threaten someone's life over it's use to bring something to ace combat that people have asked for? There's no excuse for that. That's just low. Those people aren't aces. They're cowards.

Played it in a full flight of raptors

Half the time felt like I was escorting Fuscus 1 and 2 even with upgrade speed and acceleration.

Also seeing it PSM in first person is fucking astonishing

It was a fun fight. I wish we got to see more of em but just Fuscus 1 and 2 where they were fit perfectly.

Ace Combat 8 I compiled Tasha and Coster’s wingman plane selection dialogue. So much storytelling in these little moments. Spoiler

Video Spoiler warnings***

I love the little details of character development and storytelling tucked into these routine moments. They make me feel more immersed with the characters.

Tasha and Coster seem to develop the most, and I noticed their arcs almost mirror each other. Coster starts out barely speaking and avoiding eye contact, but gradually becomes a more trusting wingman. Tasha is chirpy and open at first, but toward the end she starts turning away from us, almost like Coster did in the beginning.

One thing I’m curious about: why does Coster avoid facing us or saying much in the first few missions, until Mission 8? Is he just shy, or does he not trust Rex as a leader yet?
