    A Platoon or two of these guys should be enough. And they even fit into most places you would want infantry in Star Citizen.

    At the scale of Mech they are looking at, and the interior of ships, caves and bunkers we have, Mechs don't have much utility. To work they have to be, about, man sized, which makes them power armor.

    Add Retaliator base and modules to that list.

    Star Citizen wins Worst MMO Business Model from Massively OP. Again.

    It's a good business model, it is a poor game development model.

    So why do I need my LTI Dragonfly?

    This bike was only $15 (IIRC) because it's built from a referral Merlin. I thought, with all the time they are spending on ground vehicles, it might be a good idea to have one. Fast, agile and multi-use. My wife has a Yellow Jacket, which she loves the looks of. Now, since it won't even...

    That's the picture I got when you said it.

    So why do I need my LTI Dragonfly?

    I don't see that as any more useful, and still rewards, what I consider bad behavior. I'll probably upgrade the bike, eventually. Hornet or Hornet Ghost are most likely though a Stalker might be an option.

    Cover fire with an AK-47, against an AC-130. :)

    So why do I need my LTI Dragonfly?

    I'm not sitting on store credit. I can't melt it since it is built on a referral Merlin. Eventually, I may add a Hornet to my fleet. I can save myself some money by using the Dragonfly instead of a buyback Nox. There is no need for that now though.

    So why do I need my LTI Dragonfly?

    It is likely to be CCU'd to a ship, saving me buying another token out of buyback. But I don't want to reward bad behavior.

    So why do I need my LTI Dragonfly?

    Now you've got me going off on a tangent. :) The whole turrets don't shoot at ground vehicles is the most ridiculous thing CIG has ever set up. Decades ago, long before I served, the military deployed a toy called SLAR (Side Looking Airborne Radar). They also developed Ground Surveillance...

    So why do I need my LTI Dragonfly?

    True, but a Hawk is supposed to do that, faster.

    Hawk does that. They even face backwards.

    So why do I need my LTI Dragonfly?

    So I have have an Anvil Hawk, which, according to the Brochure is a ground attack and gun equipped dog fighter. Now that the Dragonfly has no shields, what good is it? What can it do for me? What can it do that my Hawk can't?

    Salvage is the new mining. It's coming. Probably sooner than the tier 3 and tier 4 bounty hunters.

    Hey lets have a fleet post eh?

    To be fair the Reclaimer is the end game (so far) Salvage ship and the Arrastra is the high tier, but not end game, mining ship, so that is not an expected size comparison. I wouldn't have thought to check. :)

    Seeing a lot of X1 screenshots on twitX

    Looking at the Q&A for the Dragonfly, vehicle shields aren't supposed to be very effective except against small arms. That makes the Tanks rather crappy.

    I am less than confident that video will happen.

    That was part of the "reasoning" I was refering to.
