    CCU'd to an A1 bomber...

    Inspector Gadget is, at least partially, based on Don Adams' portrayal of Maxwell Smart.

    CCU'd to an A1 bomber...

    Get Smart is considerably older than Inspector Gadget, but, yes, Don Adams is the actor in both.

    CCU'd to an A1 bomber...

    I seem to recall in Casino Royale (With David Niven, plus quite a few others as James Bond) a bomb that would kill all males over 5'6" and make all women beautiful.

    New Arena Commander seems kind of premature.

    Combat speed is to be higher, top speed is to be lower. I would think that would significantly impact the race maps, at a minimum.

    New Arena Commander seems kind of premature.

    With "Master Modes" being, according to CIG, mostly done last fall, and that meaning an entirely new flight model, isn't doing an update to Arena Commander first putting the cart before the horse? Given the lower top speeds but higher combat speeds, wouldn't that imply the Arena Commander maps...

    So uhhh… what did you buy from 2953 Invictus event so far?

    Same as every day since they blamed us for lack of being able to meet self imposed deadlines, nothing.

    If only SC’s world looks like this…

    Any assets created in engine would likely be a bitch to port. Everything created in Max, Maya, Z-Brush, etc. should be simple to port. However this is CIG and they have lots of issues fixing things that are simply database entry errors.

    This isn't as impressive as UE5 but this MMO was published in 2014. View: https://youtu.be/a_Cwb_V3x8M

    MISC Fury first look! Here it is!

    The Liberator, Herc, Galaxy and Carrack should have lots of space for reloads. Reloading is likely to be a PITA though, especially for the Carrack since the cargo bay isn't connected to the landing bay. Depending on how much of the cargo bay it requires, something as small as the Connie, and...

    Instead of the Fury, they should have made the Carry. (Yes, I just rewatched Free Guy.) View: https://youtu.be/i1TpRV9onfg

    $50 warbond, $55 credit. Slightly overpriced for what it is, but not a bad price for an LTI token.

    True. The point was that if a PC can die, and have heirs, then the player owned NPC treated the same way would make sense.

    You can die, as a PC. An heir?

    MISC Fury first look! Here it is!

    Without a Quantum Drive, $50 is about the top end of what it's worth.

    MISC Fury first look! Here it is!

    There are three ships, I've seen one Mantis, once, and one Cutlass Blue, once. Granted the wife and I each own a Blue, but they don't leave the hangar. They have a niche mission and unless something has seriously changed in the past year, nobody flies them.

    Doubtful, especially since it appears that is a very specialized and limited capability. Note I didn't say fly without an escort to deal with a Mantis, Blue or Antares, that can go with you. Just that bombers should approach rapidly unload and leave.

    New tank incoming, Tumbril Storm

    It isn't about good design, it's about the "rule of cool." There is no practical use for these vehicles, that they've shown so far. At best, ground vehicles are for edge cases, and transporting them, especially the larger ones, to the locations for edge cases is impractical.
