A gamepad is just as good, tbh… It took me a while, fiddling with the controls but, in the end, I got a hold of it. Only to spin like a xxxx and ragequit.
Spinning out is a near pain. But once you get
Beam NG.
I BOUGHT IT INSTANTLY when I first saw it. Love it. Makes my computer have a anuizim cause its so CPU and GPU intense…well, especially when you are running everything on max and on multiple monitors at the max resolution of 6000 x 1080
> Skill-based
> Twitch Shooter
Pick one. And ONLY one.
Also, UT/Doom were the first Twitch Shooters, not Tribes.
Firstly, twitch shooters and skill-based shooters are not mutually exclusive. In fact they have a lot in common. Is there some luck involved? Yes. Show me a game where luck isn’t involved. So I fail to see why you have decided those two descriptors are mortal enemies.
Second, Starsiege Tribes (the original tribes) was released in 1998. The original Unreal Tournament was released in 1999. Doom, although released in 1993, does not meet the criteria to be considered a twitch shooter, IMHO.
During development, Tribes suffered from an unexpected bug in which players could hold the jump key to ‘ski’ over surfaces at incredible speeds. The developers took the bug in stride and made it into an actual game mechanic, thus creating the first “twitch-shooter” which required equal parts skill and luck. Had it not been for this bug, Tribes would have been a fairly generic FPS that made little to no mark on the gaming scene.
There is no skill in twitch shooting. You just spin like a soding maniac and pray to hit anything. It’s just pure luck, hitting the button at the right millisecond and hoping the server doesn’t choke on it. To be fair, the only Tribes game I know of is Ascend, so…

All that shows is how insanely OP snipers are.
Half or more of those shots actually showed he missed, but yet he hit. And the 2nd video really shows the “spray and pray” mentality.
Want Minecraft? Go play Roblox and search Minecraft. Same as MC but free.

well sniping without bullet drop is kinda boring.
i prefer arma/wasteland in a sniping mood, also to profit from it in dayz
and if i wanna shoot pixels, i go gungames
does not mean, tribes ain’t cool
So do we have any space games to play like SC as alternatives?

You already have the answer 
But for now, as Ory says: no.

Galactic Starfighter

Strike Vector
(also soon)
Any good space sim games that won’t tax a computer with low end graphics?
EVE Valkyrie. Soon.
Also, I’m shocked at how much Tribes hate you guys have.
How is the “spray and pray mentality” in these videos any different from the “spray and pray mentality” found in CoD? Or any other FPS for that matter?
And when have snipers NOT be considered OP? They’re usually the only class capable of one-shot-kills, so of course they appear OP. Aim-wise, what you are seeing is slight network lag that can be compensated the same way as distance.

That’s exactly why I don’t play CoD nor BF. Twitchy trigger fingers != skill.
I cant play shooters. Why? I suck at it. BUT when my friends want me to play shooters they only want me for one thing. Designated Driver. I can fly anything or drive anything precisely in any game (obviously SC) when im behind the wheel or cockpit.
Thats why I love Space Sims, Space RTS, Forza, NFS, Minecraft, Maplestory, etc.

BF3 designated Black Hawk pilot. As long as I didn’t have to shoot while flying (no Apache for me), I was pretty good.
Also, self-proclaimed tank sniper. It was loads of fun to nail enemy snipers with a single well-placed shell. Or taking out a fully loaded transport chopper with the main gun. Satisfaction at its finest.

I agree so much on that.
I remember I was playing halo, and I got into the “mecha” they have and I got 15 kills 0 deaths. Oh good times, good times.
Well just started with x rebirth…bad mistake.
