You V The Weekend: New V Old

[GreyAreaUK]

I musta dmit after just one week away from the game I am feeling the withdrawal symptoms and may well end up back in the pilots seat tonight. I figure some good classical music, a bottle of single malt and a flight plan of several hundred jumps to cover the next Kylie should scratch that itch.

I'm presently off the drink while playing, as the last time I tried to land my Asp after a couple of drams I, er, kind of went into the ground like a dart...

My ship has tried to kill me so many times while she knows Im drunk. It's not you old chap, it's the wonky logic our ships run on. Something about the pilot being drunk floating round the cockpit in there undies just makes the ships computer hate you for some reason. Oh well, good luck to everyone who's drinking and flying this weekend!

I'm currently moving in a mysterious way to Hawkwind, much to the amusement of my cow orkers.

All this talk of drink is making me thirsty. I'm on conference calls all afternoon!

... I wonder how Mr Phillips will take the news he's been sacked in favour of a drunk old fool, a nutter of epic proportions and a collector of single malt Whiskies... What could possibly go wrong!

Missing option for 'none of the above'. I want new content that isn't a ship.

That said, I voted for new ships. I'll take fresh ideas over trying to bring in all the old ships.

New ship designs, pleeeeaaaase. We've got our throwback-nostalgia driven blunt polygonal designs. Can we get some ships that are sleek and sexy now? There is some amazing pre-release concept art out there that somehow didn't make it into the game. It should have.

New designs please. Symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing to the modern eye.

A really sensible thing to do... It's been utter madness the last few pages. My advise, never look back unless you want to go insane.

That sums up today's youth in a nutshell

Symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing to the modern eye.

I'd actually really love to see some asymmetrical ships in the game. I know it doesn't fit in with the old-school Elite designs (Class of '84 here), but as someone who thinks the Millennium Falcon is one of the best ship designs EVER, some wonky specialist ships would be BEAR SICK, as I believe the kids these days say. I can't imagine they'd be very popular though...
