My Initial Thoughts (A Personal Review)
From the moment I boarded, the Javelin’s atmosphere sucked me in. It’s just impressive, it just feels fantastic to use and experience, for some reason, I love flying fighter planes! It has that fighter jet cockpit feeling which many say, are real!
Gameplay Experience
The Javelin is definitely meant for close combat in outer space, I've seen some people mention that (using the first-person view).
- The controls feel super smooth and responsive!
- It is also really maneuverable. I can do lots of things, like make super fast turns, which was cool! (cool words huh? haha)
- You've gotta be aware when your target might hit you, if you don't do these, it gets harder.

How It Measures Up
(It really delivers.) The ship excels at short-range close combat scenarios and it's perfect for hunting other small ships. I tried chasing one that had really fast turns, (it was an amazing race across a desert like planet.)
