    The dog fighting module was supposed to be released in December with out the actual net-code to get people interested, but they got sooo many backers that they pushed it back to release the actual dog-fighting module in april, but instead of the module, we got this teaser stream:
    :O



    A letter from the lead developer about the module- https://robertsspaceindustries.com/...13432-Letter-From-The-Chairman-On-Dogfighting


    The Lead Dev (Chris Roberts) also posted on the forums talking about what space flight and space combat will be like- https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/92575/dogfighting-demo/p1

    When we get in our ships we will have Squadrons, a group of 4 players wwith one member being a squadron. Each squadron will be spit up into 2 wingmen (for instance there will be Me, Phaedo, Wargrunt and Sotet in the "Generic Squadron", Sotet would be the squadron leader and his wingman would be Phaedo, and Me and Grunt would be wingmen together.)

    You will have nearly complete freedom when naming your squadron (as long as it doesn't have a slur, is racist or just plain dumb.)
    Each squadron will be also able to have their own Squadron decal, but is not required.

    If you want to start a Squadron, all you need is 4 members that are in your branch to be counted as a squadron in the organization. If you want to have your own squadron start recruiting here, or join another's squadron!
    FAQ about DFM!

    Only thing that's inaccurate is that all 1 person ships (Avenger, Aurora, Hornet etc.) are going to be in the Version one release of DFM

    I have to discuss with officers about that, I'm not thinking so, just because your squad mates have to be in your branch.

    I will be looking for a squad for sure. I am thinking of buying a Hornet or Gladiator soon to compliment my Aurora and Cutlass.

    I will say this.

    As head of the Military Division, squadrons will be utilized.

    I will confer with the other admirals about this, but the simple outline is as follows:


    Team leaders will be chosen and will run their squadron.​

    They alone are in charge of their squadron.​

    Squadrons will take orders directly from the Command and Control Rooms aboard whatever larger fleet/vessels they are accompanying, and their leaders will relay that information to their team.

    As we get closer to launch I will set up a squadron formation application and anyone can put in an application to form a squadron. SO If you have friends you want to fly with, get with them and start thinking about your squadron. Whoever submits the application (if it is accepted) will be the nominated leader.*

    Squadron Names and Decals will be required upon any and all squadron applications.


    Stay Tuned :rolleyes:





    *We can change leaders at anytime if we find it necessary!! DO NOT think that submitting the application gets you entitlement. However, your squadron will always be your squadron. We will never take, change, or remove players from your team. Only thing that would change is who the leader is.

    what i meant is that lets say that I am in a squadron but I notice that my partners are only on sometimes so I join another which is on more regularly could I still be part of the old one if they are in the same division and everything

    I'm just going to leave this here:

    1. As part of the top of the military leadership, alongside Thane and Myself, you won't be in a squadron.

    2. squadrons Will be set in stone. They will always be the same people. Because the pilots choose their own squadrons and members, it is up to them to make sure they're all on at the same time. i.e. Raid Groups from WoW or SWTOR.


    (at least MY divisions squadrons will be)
