Pretty interesting to think about. The shuttle actually had aerodynamic flight surfaces for re-entry and landings. But in space it was completely reliant on 14 small thrusters on the fore/aft, port/starboard sides to make all attitude adjustments from one control stick. Playing with my Aurora in the hanger mod, I kind of envisioned the left stick and pedals for flight controls and the right for weapons targeting hehe.

Sounds like the freelancer is pretty formidable in a fight. Do you think it would be the best as a form of Force Recon? Or would it be a bit too big?

I wonder if this would be ideal for Force Recon. Quick, light fighter to run in and scan the area and get out. But enough firepower to blast through any interdiction or interceptors that try and block your path? Just a though.

Man... Now I have to get a Freelancer? This game is gunna take all my money

Something about exploring the dark and unknown recesses of the universe appeals to me. I feel like in the exploring and intel areas, you'd have to be ready for anything

It looks like you Imperium folks have put quite a surprising amount of effort into this already. The structure! The Organization! I feel like I'm joining the military all over again.

Normally I don't get too excited about games this far from launch, but this seems to be a notable exception. I got the ship, got the alpha/beta, now I need a group! If you'll have me that is.
