I hope they try to compensate for tanks being essentially useless by giving it a really uber-epic instagib gun. What happens when I drive my tank off my chariot into space? Can I just aimlessly drift forever shooting poo poo? Will the physics for such a thing be realistic?
Questions like these don't need to be answered because it will never exist other than to bilk nerds.

If any FPS engine based games taught me anything is that you can propel your tank to fly by firing the turret backwards. So I'd imagine there will be a goon space tank squadron spam firing backwards to fly the horde of tanks through space until we discover a poor citizen miner to gank. At which point we all surround him and then slowly rotate the turrets forward for 30 seconds of suspense.

I imagine things at CIG must be awkward. It's hard to believe EVERYONE there has bad taste. So they poo poo out a trailer like this and all have to glance askew at each other, trying to dynamically gauge which ones realize it's pure distilled poo poo and which of them are fully down with the Kool-Aid.

Then comes the Autist King, and they have to present His Majesty with something that's been giving them douche-chills for the past several months, and deep inside they wish he'd also realize how poo poo it is, but when he smiles and says "It's just as I envisioned it" they all have their own visions of CribbityBobbityBoo getting a visit from Stimpire Invigilation teams.
