Yeah. Department holiday lunch is at noon. I'll probably be late to the live-stream, but catch most of it.

I'm in love. The Bengal's beautiful, but this thing speaks to me. I hope Squadron 42 features serving on one at some point.

Arena Commander 1.0 drops today! Includes lobby system that means we can set up private team matches, so I'm looking forward to that soon. Chris flew the Avenger vs. Erin, and I heard on the chat roll that I missed the Mustang commercial and announcement that it's flyable now.

Austin's reported some very cool progress. 2015 should be the year of Austin's projects; they're working on delivering hangar visitation, which will rapidly segue into access to ArcCorp by mid-year.

Yeah the mustang commercial was good even if it was at the aurora's expense (that's okay i'll probably end up with both). I like their Richard Branson wannbe.

Fan-made footage compilation. Could have done without dropping the bass midway through, personally, and it's all cinematic rendering rather than gameplay footage, but it's a nice sizzle reel.

And I'm patching 1.0! 20 gigs, so it's clearly time for dinner, first. Patch notes when they're posted.

I want to state clearly for the record that I am neither maniacally giggling nor rubbing my hands together as I read about signal to noise ratio and its role in target acquisition and missile tracking.

I got a chance to try out the Ghost and the Cutlass before connection errors made me go find something else to do.

I'm not sure I'm super-impressed with the Suckerpunches on the Cutlass (or the Avenger, if memory serves), but the Ghost was pretty nice. I could see (on the instrumentation) that I was outputting less signature than with other ships, but the laser repeaters still had nice punch -- so long as you didn't overheat them with too much sustained fire.

The rocket pods only carry dumbfires. You can just hammer the missile trigger rapid-fire to launch a barrage, I imagine.

Of course, other ships with missile racks can now lock multiple missiles and simultaneously fire them, now. So, damn.

Well, they're still size 1 missiles (on the Mustang, at least. I guess there's nothing stopping bigger dumbfires later), so I have a feeling it's supposed to be used more as a dive bombing kind of thing. Line up, fly close, fire off dumbfires and break away at the last second.

On the screen where you choose which scenario to play there is a selectable line under the map selection that allows you to pick other ships in your hanger.

My button selection is showing the name of the buttons instead of what they do. Couldn't launch AC except from the cockpit. Tab wasn't locking the screen.

I'll switch to a super hornet with lifetime then maybe re-buy the 325a soon (or my Freelancer Dur).
