I really think Squadrons is gonna be the middle ground between hardcore sims like Elite and SC, and I'm definitely gonna be sinking some time into it and maybe the competitive scene if it arises (Theres no private matches on launch, but the current idea is a 5Mans system based off RL's 6Mans). But also holy shit is the whole fan base a minefield of CHUDs, so I'm making this post to see if any Chapos are interested in making a discord or something. Comment below if you'd be interested so I can gauge interest.

I bought a joystick and X-wing vs Tie fighter off of GOG to start practicing for Squadrons. I'm in, although I'm not american and my timezone's waaaaaay different so that and lag will be factors.

Honestly I don't think so, I'm just being extra because I want to vicariously relive my childhood while the world goes to hell around me.
But seriously, unless you're going for immersion usually controller's are perfectly fine for games like this. Wouldn't recommend mouse + keyboard tho.
