Grow old along with 2.3 the best is yet to be? (obscure ST/Amiga reference there) :)

Ed said, I think in the first QA livestream where holome and multicrew were announced that in his opinion, the best of 2.3 was yet to be announced. Are we still in the dark about this, or did I miss an announcement?

Cheers.

He must have a pretty low opinion of multi-crew then, unless there's something pretty massive the beta test guys haven't found yet.

Well, they might not have put it (whatever it might be) into the beta yet - and as it goes, sorry to say, I've got a pretty low opinion of multicrew. :(

Based on Maia etc being locked I think it's the chitinous, antennae encrusted new overlords that will be opening a big can of whup-donkey once 2.3 drops.

Hail our new insectoid overlords!!!

That was a cheat code for Carrier Command wasn't it? :D

Well spotted that Commander! :)

Yes, first (adapted) part for ST, second part for Amiga. What a great game that was - I viewed it as a sort of (non-space) Elite substitute for the 16-bit machines.

I still remember my first disastrous encounter with the enemy carrier - repair screen flashing red almost all over, Deck laser is down - I need to launch my Mantas! What do you mean the lift is unserviceable? Make it top repair priority - oh, there goes the hull.

Indeed - awesome game. My only grumble was that the ACC Omega was faster than your Mantas...

The guided missiles from the Walrus were fun for land assaults - ED could do worse than get something like that for the SRV...

Ed gets paid by FD, so everything that FD brings to the game is going to be 'brilliant' 'amazing' 'unbelievable'... & things that are work in progress that he can't tell us about are '...best is yet to come'

Neither Ed or anyone else from FD are gonna tell us on a livestream '...other's like it, but personally I think it's crap!' - are they?

Keep the punters guessing Ed!, keep 'em coming back for more!

Yes, that rings a bell - when it decided to bug out, nothing was going to stop it - The Omega has left the instance. :)

There was a pretty good remake a couple of years back, worth a look.
