Very nice review. Beautiful ship! Reminds instantly of the MV-22 Osprey, which a buddy of mine tels be is a real kick to fly.
I will own that I am disappointed that they didn't deliver on the components room. We were told there was going to be something special there, and I was hoping for a scan sui/EM warfare package. Also it seems they decided to leave the missiles off, when word was a special 3 S4 rack on each wing. That would have given it new functionality, and especially since S4 is not popular, would have made interesting gameplay.
Can you report back once you've flown it with some estimates of rotation rate, lateral acceleration (strafe), and how she slips through turns? Put her through the moves, maybe behind a vanguard so we can compare how well she turns. Also the hull--have you had your friends shoot you yet? One supposes she has lots of hull points.
What's with the reactors, one or two?
