Will be good to see how she stacks up against the Vanguard. Very interesting to hear they cheated a way to improve the view. Obviously, if you move the arms down enough so they no longer obstruct the view, the engines will be seriously off the thrust axis, but seems CIG won't care. This could make it a much better fighter than I expected it to be.

Sounds like she'll be more maneuverable than the Vanguard, but still less range with guns and fewer missiles. Depends upon how hard you want to fly it seems, but almost sounds like a long range Sabre without the limited stealth.

Glad to hear they took the disappointment in the 600 and are addressing it in the 890 jump (especially with Josh Coon its going to be baller). But the star really was the Carrack. Its looking spectacular.

Guess we will find out when we actually get to fly it.

Well that is a different vid than the one I linked to:

I am disappointed that they pulled the holoviewer from the Carrack bridge. I just think that would be very cool, but I will hope and pray they leave it in the Polaris. Maybe they'll make it a Carrack bonus option?

As to the question of a no-fly zone below 400 meters on ArcCorp, it seems if they intend to hard wire that something takes control of the player's ship so they can't go below, the criminals ought to be able to subvert that at a huge price. Maybe there could be some big bonus to being hunted in situations like this, and temptation to the bounty hunter to do what they know they should not do--fly too low?

On another note: Holy shit the new exterior looks good on the Carrack. Looks so much better than what they showed a few months back. Glad they fixed the landing gear and the bridge.

I personally prefer the holo table viewer over the holo globe, but I understand both have their place.
