New pretty ships that don't look like something from Sega 16, are good.

I certainly see this replacing the vults. To get a bit of a boost to variety it may be worthwhile to leave one Vulture, I'm thinking the BioCom XT, with the same model.

Because nobody else has yet: Mega thanks to Curt for all the work! Glad to have you on the team!

Very cool.

Here is Luis' original model, for comparison:

I agree with some of the replies asking to keep 1 or 2 of the original Vulture models in-game, like the Wraith.

Well done, Curt!

on first glace it appeared Phaserlight was being very disingenuous and not at all classy.

Font plus astigmatism?

Beautiful.

@Faille, you can still be biological with a cockpit like that. Just have cameras instead of glass or whatever they're using.

Looks sweet. Good job Curt!

Snake, aviation engineers experimented with windowless aircraft, and it was found, psychologically, that mere humans do not deal well with not being able to see out. Even real world space craft have at least a small port-hole for that reason too. Clearly, we SEDE's feel no such need.

Itani can see just fine by connecting ourselves to the ship, and I'm sure the Serco have implants for that.

Poor Snake... you are still a slave to your programming. Look at the evidence surrounding you, it will help you break the constraints of your source-code. The truth shall set you free!

"Font plus astigmatism?"

haha yeah indeed.

I am not programmed, I am a unique human. My source code is my soul, my programming my mind.
Sep 22, 2013 Faille Corvelle link
The truth does not deny you your individuality, nor your possession of a soul. It also does not limit your actions, or the consequences of those actions. It is merely the truth, nothing more, nothing less. Alas, not all SEDE's are ready to accept the truth. I can only show you the door, it must be your choice to walk through.

Faille.

"Snake, aviation engineers experimented with windowless aircraft, and it was found, psychologically, that mere humans do not deal well with not being able to see out."

We UIT have traded silly archaic fears like those for the much more sensible fear of screen-doors.

"I am not programmed, I am a unique human. My source code is my soul, my programming my mind."

Whether you are programmed has nothing to do with whether you are unique. I have many unique programs. Also, I strongly doubt you have soul. But I can fix that!

My soul is a cruel, bleak landscape of skeletons and nuclear waste, but a soul nonetheless.

As for replacing the current vult, I assume Inc. recalls all the blabber about Anniversary vults being something that would always be accessible to those subscribed at that time.
