Sky Captain

Remember that storm trooper clone army? Now they are all Palpatines ….!

Glad to see another Drake. Glad to see another mid-sized ship. But not a huge fan of the Corsair's asymmetry. Its hard to describe why: Whereas the BT-7 from SWToR feels like it has asymmetry as ship function, the Corsair seems to have been given a hint of asymmetry just for a little asymmetry's sake. Which makes one ask the question why bother with that. I like the looks of the Corsair with the wings folder vertically more though. And I'm intrigued by the side turrets which to me is the design choice that makes this ship stand out as something different. It makes the ship a 'broadsides' brawler! Not sure that is practical, but its a bit different.

Is it as good as it is supposed to be? Not … yet. The game remains in an early alpha state. But give it time. CIG is building a 'holy grail' game: Massive universe, fully-realized planets, rendered cities, multi-crewed capital ships, many viable career tracks, and more. The beauty for the moment comes in experiencing game play systems coming on line. Its like watching a master piece being painted. But for those that don't like watching the paint dry, its probably best checking back in a year or more still.

I've actually been streaming B5 again over the holidays. Great show for sure. It would be great if they would reboot Crusade. I've also read the news articles about the B5 vs DS9 origins and rivalry, but I don't think it amounts to much. I've watched both shows extensively and never once viewed them to be the same show / premise beyond space stations being involved. Saying that DS9 copied B5 is like saying that Star Wars developed from Star Trek because they both had starships. They are both great shows that stand on their own right with their own unique ideas.
