And of course: "This way!"

A successful launch means new money, not just the people that already paid for it. They needed to launch SQ42 in 2014, then 2016 then 2018. There isn't lots of money in the current player base. After all this time they need to launch right, and be successful more than release before they're...

GTA isn't direct competition, but it will soak up all the gaming marketing bandwidth. You can't have a successful launch if nobody knows you launched.

I seriously doubt it, for several reasons, like we've been told this before. Most importantly, though: CIG has said they want to have at least 6 months of marketing to build hype before release. (From a marketing standpoint that is about right.) CIG has said they don't want to launch around...

OK, I'll admit it. The MDC has me tempted.

I thought the SC equal to the Razorcrest was the Cutlass Blue. The Razorcrest has a bounty pod rack.

I'm guessing it doesn't fit a Merlin dock.

I get it. Germany and Japan didn't have the luxury of being able to bring their best pilots home. And while I'm not disparaging Russian pilots but Soviet planes of the day were absolute crap. I was just noting why, even with the differences in how to count a kill, American numbers are lower.

I'm also curious how you get a prisoner from the G-Loc bar or MacIntyre & Victor's Bar to the spaceport, onto your ship and to the station that accepts pods. Do you have to take the Tram?

More like a "jeep carrier" from WWII. They used those to transport Army Air Corps planes to combat zones, loading them by crane since they couldn't land on carriers. They also transported PT boats by cargo ships, under most circumstances because the PT Boats lacked the range to get anywhere.

The idea that ground vehicles are invulnerable to turrets, and have places, outside, that space ships can't go, is just absurd. It is only there to sell Ground Vehicles. The Hawk should be able to go everywhere an Ursa can go, except underground.

The difference was that the US, normally, sent you home after about 26 to train the next generation of fighter pilots. German pilots had no place to go. It is why US fighter pilots got better during hte war but German and Japanese pilots wound up with insufficient training and less and less...

Oh, I agree that the Asgard is definitely aesthetically better than the Connie. I just don't like it as much as the Redeemer. If there is a way to use the Andromeda, properly, for Bounty Hunting in Bounty Hunting 2.0, and I decide to get one, my Zeus MR will become the Connie. But I still don't...
