Sith's End of LTI Exchange Program
...*bunch of awesome helping-ness stuff*...
You are a magnificent human being and have my sincere thanks for helping me out as much as you have.
You rock!!
When does the sale start?
Also, I heard the super hornet will only be available for a few more days. Would I he able to buy the super hornet upgrade now and pick up say a colonel package before lti runs out and apply the super hornet pack then? Or must I own the hornet before buying the upgrade?
I kind of want to buy these expensive cool ships because I feel left out but just can't bring myself to. You guys keep talking about all these gameplay strategies you are going to use what ship for but it is all imaginary! Who knows how the actual game will play out, how hard it will be to get the ships in-game, how useful the different traits and options will be, etc.
This. I think everyone is putting the super-hornet on a little too high a pedestal in terms of dog-fighting, where maneuverability will be more a factor. Personally I see the super-hornet as closer to an A-10 than an F-16, but as you say nothing's really been nailed down yet in terms of specs, so I could be wrong.
However, the current hubub should breed plenty of overconfident hornet pilots.
I'm also guessing there will be other variants of the hornet that might be better combat ships in the final game. The big reason for these pledges is the LTI
It is all based on specs. The Super Hornet while only being slightly heavier than the normal Hornet has the ability to use a TR4 sized engine, vs the TR3 engines used in the 300i and TR2 in the Aurora. It also has more maneuvering thrusters more and/or larger ones than the Aurora and 300i. The only ships that are more maneuverable are the P-52, Scythe, and possibly the 350-R, but the P-52 and 350-R are both lacking tremendously in armament and defenses. The Scythe doesn't have as much laser weapons, but packs a decent punch (pun intended) with its physical blade attack. However, it is supposed to be minimally shielded and armored (the trade off for the maneuverability it has).
