maybe they will sell a tugboat style ship that helps larger ships dock properly.

Will Ben help Chris explain how a tug job goes?

My favourite bit is Ben's joy at Croberts' vigorous wrist action. He's like a loving nodding dog in a car going over speed bumps.

Chris may has a hidden talent

I honestly never thought I'd be on the same side of a debate with Derek Smart, he seems so obtuse on other things and yet his line of thinking on how Star Citizen will eventually see the light of day; is the same as mine.

Strange days

It's either a bit of Derek inside of you or a bit of DickWulf.

I think a pet system is only complete if it allows breeding, including cross species breeding with a realistically modeled gene system, including special breeding ships of course.

The F.U.-6969 Mater is the ultimate modular ship for animal breeding! The premium :lesnick:

Wing Commander was one of the first games to really drive storytelling into the heart of the game.

It also had sprite-based enemy rendering which made dogfighting a guessing game since you can't even tell if an enemy is turning left or right until they turn 45� or something.

Really bad comparison. ET sinking Atari is a myth. The reason Atari sank was because they produced a mountain of consoles in time for the xmas that ET was also released.

Didn't their CEO fill high positions with people he liked, rather than people with skills, including making a chauffeur Director of sales in Southern France?

When I close my eyes, all I can see is an infinite ladder going straight to the stars all the way across the 'verse. And I see my hands moving on this ladder in perfect accord bringing me closer and closer to the light. Then I open my eyes and there is a smile on my face. Because I remember that some idiots pay money for jpegs of space ships.
