Really should have had skiing in Tribes on there. Holding down the jump button reduced friction to zero, so players could slide down hillsides at high speeds and launch themselves into the air by going over bumps. Every attempt at reviving the franchise has struggled with implenting skiing as a properly intentional feature, and not quite recaptured the magic.
- ru552 7y agoFormer comp tribes player reporting in. Skiing didn’t work by holding the jump button though. You had to continuously jump while going down a hill to “ski”. This lead to players writing a script that continuously jumped and binding that to a button that was held to “ski”. 51504lyfe
- stronglikedan 7y agoOP may have been thinking of Tribes 2, where you could just hold the jump button with no additional scripts.
- cavanasm 7y agoThat is indeed the case.

- joshstrange 7y agoDear god... Starsiege: Tribes, now that's a name I haven't heard in years. I used to play this for hours at a time with friends. Now that I think about it, other than the Battle Royal stuff, it was a lot like Fortnite (or what I understand of Fortnite anyways). I loved the building, laying armor plates over laser cannons, flying over a wall only to get obliterated on the other side... Damn, now I want to see if I can still run that game and if anyone still plays...
