Drake knows what sells ships and it isn't features or reliability.
It is a proven method. Even 930 years in the future, it would seem. After all, who doesn't love boobs. *raises hand* I know I'm a pretty big fan.

Honestly, I would expect no less from Drake. They have always been marketed to the shady side of the space bound industry. Shady = morally ambiguous = shamelessly using scantily clad females to sell a few more ships. I, for one, refuse to judge such a tried and true sales technique. Besides, booth girls are usually decently compensated for their time.

College tuition is constantly on the rise. I can only imagine how expensive space-college is almost a millennia in the future...

I Really hope they have expos that happen once a year in game that players can go and visit

Maybe for just a few new ships that go out on a year the host will be cig devs that talk you through the new concept in game. a man can dream
That would be amazing. You should post that up on the RSI forums under game ideas. You could tour ships, maybe even "rent" them in a free-fly situation. There could be espionage or retrieval missions from manufacturers, maybe even some sabotage. It could be a yearly event like they have in so many other MMOs. It could work and would fit the world very nicely.

Yep, you should definitely post up in the Game Ideas section.

Damn! I'm really considering melting my Sabre and gettin' one of'em Caterpillars...

I know...I love the Sabre too...but I ain't no fighter. I seem to constantly end up as a smuggler of sorts though, and this ship...is a smuggler's dream.

I wonder one thing though: how much cargo space should I clear in order to accommodate them lovely dancin' birds?

there is a post in the Game Ideas section for this, i wouldn't say, "Spam", but certainly help with the brainstorming of how to make it an interesting Event.

There have been a lot of butthurt comments on Twitch and on RSI from people saying that "the first time they show off the female model, it's on a pole".
People these days look for the needle in the haystack, just to find something to be offended about.
"Wow, this commercial looks so awesome! Ships are great! Jeremy Clarkson is great! But wait... what's that? A stripper pole? ERMYGHERD, honey, brind my e-war keyboard, shit is about to get down!"
