Mildly annoyed at this. One year ago I would have probably flipped a table.
Spiky ultra thin fuselage, held together by blue lightning bolts, with light blue glowy thingies for propulsion, straight of of some Japanese styled video game. I guess it just makes sense for FDEV to start appealing to different demographics, having initially promised a game with strong foundations in current day science and only so much space magic as to explain fundamental game mechanics (ie FTL travel / communications). But that's so 2014, right, those guys already paid, right?
Hey Braben, in light of this new art direction, starting with healing lasers, going through 3D-printed ships and smellypresence and culmination with this guardian tech, could we at least replace all stations in the galaxy with flat ones? I mean it makes no sense anymore to torture your playerbase into having to match the rotation of the station every time they dock, it's just a nuisance at this point. Just say that one of them Merlin Dumbledore RNGineers discovered artificial gravity in this guardian tech and let's make a nicer game for everyone.
