Dijkman has another drawing for everyone. He's put a lot of thought into this one.
It is a bit light, but it shows a hellcat coupled to a pair of generators
(for the lasers) in a hangar bay. The pilot in front has another flight suit compared to the one worn by Space Force pilots. This is because the pilot in question is a Marine pilot. Also the helmet features an additional sun protective visor for orbital duties.
It's just one month now until our sister space sim, Earth & Beyond, closes its doors. The massively multiplayer game has been in operation for just two years, and EA is closing it to focus on other games. As we reported yesterday, the sim only reached about 40,000 subscriptions. I remember it was just 2002 when we were reporting on beta signups. They were accepting up to 100,000 players for that. Massively multiplayer games can be risky, but E&B had a very devoted fan base who'll miss it.
Q: What happened to the devs?
A: The E&B team is being moved onto several other projects, most notably Ultima X: Odyssey. Visit http://www.uxo.ea.com for more information.
