I was wondering whether the Dogfighting Module will be released with a finalized flight model. Are the physics and flight system more or less complete, or will they be tuned as part of the alpha process? If it is going to be tuned, what sort of feedback would be useful to the team?asked by Feylan

TL;DRChris Roberts says the flight model won't be finalised in the dogfighting alpha and will be tuned based on subjective player feedback, likely through a forum setup that hasn't been designed yet.

So the flight model's not going to be finalized. First of all we're going to have a few different kinds of flight models. The whole point of the dogfighting alpha is to get it out there so everyone plays it and gives us good feedback. Is it fun, does it feel good, does it feel cool or realistic, or whatever the feedback would be. So that's a big part of it, and the stuff where we'd say "that's a good point" we would definitely work on. So we kind of want to get it out there so we get a good idea of what people feel. So we will definitely tune it. The feedback will probably be along the lines of some of the feedback you would expect on a subjective basis. It's not really a bug issue, it's more I like this, I don't like this, I think this ship's too tough, I think this weapon's too weak, etc. That would probably be in some kind of forum set-up that we would have that we haven't built and designed yet.
