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...

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

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.

What do you mean start?

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

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?

Doubtful.

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

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.

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.

I recommend using Quantum drive to close with your target in a bomber and again to escape after unloading. They aren't bomber escorts, in the sense of Retaliator or even A2.

Oh look, it's smaller, maybe, than a Maus.

Kind of begs the question of why build it at all. For stacking them up tight, and getting more capacity, I'm not sure how well it would work, from a practical standpoint. You need clearance for take off, landing and maintenence. Then there is the question of lifesupport on the Carrier. All...

No quantum drive makes it pretty useless. I mean, sure, in Arena Commander, especially on a race track, cool. But in the PU, even going from orbit to the surface of one of the moons in Stanton is tedious.

They seem to want to imply a Starfury. I'm not seeing a need, or even really a desire.
