I'm guessing they do, as it would still be relatively easy to switch seats to one of the passenger compartments, and then exit.

Can air unit pilots swap position? While I know ground vehicles the driver can swap to any open spot, I was under the impression that they could not in multi seat air vehicles while in flight.

I think you can, although it is supposedly quite slow unless you cert in it, which seems quite pointless really

Switching seats quickly lets you man the guns yourself, I used to do it all the time in PS1.

In an aircraft though it is a bit risky, unless you're doing some high altitiude bombing etc.

We could really do with updating the steam page.  There are lots of new beta key holders, and we still haven't got a group avatar

Some of us aren't joining the group..

I know, but on the steam page there are many people who have left a comment saying they have a key, but havent been added to the list.

Is there an aircraft that can be described as a light bomber/strike aircraft?

If so, I'll gladly fly that. In the YSFlight simulation (Really good simulator, very realistic physics), I can fly a Kfir upside down just 20 meters above the ground. You can leave flying in under the radar to me.

I'm also okay at high-altitude bombing, if that's possible.

Seems we got quite a few pilots around here   And the Reaver is the NC light aircraft, and is a very good strike craft with the right upgrades.  The only real 'bomber' is the Liberator, but it's a 3 man aircraft, so I don't think it can be considered light.

I just stumbled upon the NC and TR Soundtracks.

I like the TR one more. /loyalty

I'm thinking some of the weapon/equpment for each faction-exclusive aircraft will have enough variety so they can play either Fighter or Fighter/bomber (I'm guessing that's what you mean by light bomber?) or pure Anti-Ground (Anti-infantry or Anti-Armour most likely). We'll have to see once they roll beta out what the equipment will be. As for the Liberator, it doesn't even see like a classic bomber anymore, but more like an AC130 style gunship (essentially large aircraft with tank cannon attached).

To be fair, they've said that the NC one was an early version, and the finished soundtrack sounds much better.  The VS soundtrack is also very good (for alien-lovers).

Also, the Liberator, while it is a gunship, can be turned into a sort-of bomber with some of the weapon choices.  I'll see if I can find the link to them.

Edit: I couldn't find the screengrabs, but it goes through some at the start of this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjsd5uouw9I   (Also, that camo makes my eyes bleed)

[Blizzlord]

Hope that they give the NC themes a buff considering that it is the faction that we will play, and because the TR and Vanu ones are simply glorious.

[Johnfalcon99977]

I like the NC theme so far, mostly because I'm kinda a sucker for Guitar-heavy songs.

Also, I find it funny that there are like a billion Terran loyalists now because one youtube personality (Total Biscuit) said that it was his faction. Damn tyrants are indoctrinating people by making well known people like them!
