Clearly they are fuel tankers.  :)

*Ding ding ding ding ding* We have a winner!

Am I the only one who wants to ram one of these things into an Onslaught and pray that Alex programmed them to be very EXPLODEY.

I think I'm the one who started throwing that phrase around, so I'll point out that while Alex thought the allusion was a good one, those weren't his words.

Entirely possible. I don't expect it to be a fully accurate description either, but it's a convenient shorthand explanation to establish a baseline for expectations.

Besides you need to add a 'mechwarrior' in there somewhere.

I like the 'armada' post
I see you have something that look like feul/infernium freighters perhaps?

That black ship looks the most mysterious... I wonder if that has to do with the, umm, source, of infernium.

Yep, those big red ships are indeed tankers. Spheres generally hold more, or so I hear... I probably shouldn't be in control of a starship.

The battle station is not completely operational, shall we say.

"Now witness the firepower of this thoroughly buggy and unoperational batt... Oh, hell, you know what? Just ignore the battle station, okay?"

Hmm. That doesn't sound half bad :)

I'm not sure how cost effective that would be though  :D

Sometimes efficiency has to be sacrificed in the name of splodyness.  :)

The scary part is that there are 52 weeks in a year.... :(  ha ha.

But seriously, yeah pretty exciting, I'm gonna be hoping that it is only a very few weeks till the preview, lol.    ;D

Great read (and another reason i can't wait till January :)).

And esp how you plan to release some sort of demo build, something that many great developers simply don't do anymore  >:(.
