Awaiting the new feature list. My nails will not survive for a week...
I hope it goes well!
Details to follow.
Hi Paul
I probably guess all questions about the new squadron carrier will only be available at time of release, but would it be possible to reveal whether it can be bought by players for in game credits?
Or are all questions about this release on the 19 of August 'secret' information for now?

Hi
I had no pre conceptions, so can you describe briefly what you think it should look like graphically, I am genuinely interested. I personally think the design is obviously 'different' from our player carriers, but I wouldn't say it's a negative feature graphics wise. 
I think in this case 'looks' imho are secondary, if it's performance is excellent in what it's supposed to do, then I think that's going to be the main thing.

I'm not sure I can say what a Squadron Carrier should look like

Hi Paul, quick question regarding existing Squadrons. Are they going to be simply converted to 2.0, or will all Squadrons be disbanded and we'll need to create them again from scratch.
If the latter - do you have a plan to protect Squadrons so that nobody snatches our name and tag?
Thanks.
I don't see the point in disbanding existing squadrons, it's just that the squadron leader will need to update some parts of the existing ones.
It's free, but I guess there will be some items for ARX (cosmetics or something else)
One question for now- are these Vanguard FCs treated as a 'new' class of FC or are they mixed into the FC population regards slots per system?
Great, sooner than I thought. The updated Squadron Carrier design looks much better.
Love the huge, epic scale.
