Wait a minute, whats wrong with the mustang?I hope they add reasons to use the ingame comm system, to enable more gameplay options. At the very least you would want a comm officer to follow NPC’s, who i would hope do not have their own ts. Not only is space filled with noise, so is the internet, see im making noise right now, isnt that fun, go me. As for the Pegusus, go NewTypes!, i think its pretty cool.

Great Show.
I think you should just go for broke and demand the persistent universe beta. At least that way you won’t have to revise the title of the segment for a (long) while.
Regarding the efficacy/utility of comms interception: despite the 10FTC question, I assumed the mechanic would have very little to do with intercepting actual voice comms and more to do with intercepting data flow between a capital ship or a Hornet Tracker and the other ships relying on the radar/targeting data. Knowing how the enemy is being directed is always an advantage.
That said, I can think of a few instances where in-game voice comms could become tactically necessary. As Geoff mentioned, setting up a teamspeak with people other than your regular crew can be a hassle. Also, you could intercept comms between players and NPCs. Like if you find out a large ship has detached it’s fighters to go land on the planet because it was communicating with planetary traffic control, or if someone you’re hunting receives a message that cargo is ready to be picked up in another system.

Tony, I agree with you about the music on the Imagine trailer. Beautiful at first and then I physically lifted my headphones away from my ears when the dubstep started. I like dubstep, but THAT felt a bit too jarring and out of place. Granted, they did a good job and tying the visuals to the beat, but …still, it was like listening to a lullaby and then in the middle of it, having korn coming in to finish. (rough analogy, but you get the idea.)
Merry Christmas guys!
Also, we’re still working on those Space Engineers ships from Star Citizen. What have we started?!
Some teasers:

Great show as always guys! Good to know we are playing a British game, Let’s here it for an Imperial Star Citizen expansion…God Save the Queen and all that!
I think you should demand the PU, as Ostron mentioned, but I’d do the Alpha because you guys may be old enough to join the VD Geriatric Team before the Beta comes out.
…and stop picking on the Mustang, the Delta is a blast to fly!
