I figured that was the case.

Given the picture they showed at FanFest of the full racial set of our current vehicles came before the other disorganized one showing everything else they were working on, I assumed the Minmatar and Amarr sets of the current vehicles would take priority.

Still, it'd be nice to hear something to at least say they haven't been tossed over the side, or something.

Precisely.

Well look on the bright side. the longer its delayed the more likely you're going to get all 4 races at once.

We've even had a Dev post relating to MTACs but not a word said on Fighters since FanFest. On behalf of the others hoping to spec into those, can we get maybe a general statement that they still exist, or something?

Something... ANYTHING would be great to hear from the Dev team. My thoughts exactly. I mean, we haven't even seen any real concept art of the MTACs, since the picture they used to reveal them was actually artwork done for The Empyrean Age back in 2008, and was of a construction model. We were shown an animated 3D render of the Caldari Fighter at FanFest, and then nothing since that point.

If I recall correctly, he mentioned them being not much bigger than two meters. A two meter rat? On Tatooine? Something tells me those things were far from defenseless. That planet wasn't exactly known for the friendly wildlife.

For reference: The Caldari Fighter Again, we've had a post from CCP Wolfman mentioning that MTACs are likely a while off yet, but no word on something that looked to be nearing completion that we were specifically shown only a few months ago.

Heck, we had a very good thread on what we would like to see as controls and armaments a while back. The problem is that there has been ZERO dev response even from a potential build philosophy. I would be fine waiting for a few months for them if a DEV would actually interact with us so we felt that we were helping to make some progress what so ever. Right now, this going to head one of two ways for me. Either I am going to hold on and all of my SP saving will come to fruition or boredom will overcome hope and I will walk away with a 'what could have been' mentality. If CCP wants to save this game, they have to come to the realization very quickly that just involving players in brainstorming of new content will have a positive impact on player retention. Right now, all these threads are are nothing more than yelling into the wind. And what you just described is exactly what I and others hope to encourage: getting them to just tell us about what they're thinking about even if it doesn't end up like they initially brainstorm. There's a LOT less risk associated with "misleading expectations" than there is with just being silent and leaving everyone to wonder what you're doing. The big difference between these forums and the EVE forums in terms of civility (excluding GD, which is a cesspool), is that the Reykjavik team just talks about things they want and things that might happen, even if they sometimes don't. Humans are social creatures. More than anything else, we like communicating with each other, regardless of what form that communication might take. More communication is almost never a bad thing in this sort of environment.
Mobius Wyvern Guardian Solutions 2893	Posted - 2013.08.06 14:04:00 - [10] - Quote I've had this on my mind more often lately after watching a playthrough of Ace Combat 6 a few days ago. One thing that Dust could deliver that most other games don't, and especially that dedicated flight games can't, is the feeling of being part of a larger scale fight, while still keeping the true scale of air combat. In any case, if it turns out that Fighters are even further off than MTACs, at least I'll have Ace Combat Infinity to play alongside Dust while I wait and bank SP.

On behalf of the others hoping to spec into those, can we get maybe a general statement that they still exist, or something? not important right now. maybe try reading the dev blogs. I do. All of them. You'll notice that I mention that we had a post made about an asset that was projected to be even further out than the Fighter, and I'm looking to see if we can expect these vehicles earlier or later than the MTACs that were talked about. I'm not suggesting they be implemented now, or even that they be picked up as a priority. I'm merely looking for information.

MAVs, Speeders (or whatever they're called) and Gunships are much better options for new vehicles in the current situation. Fighters will not be introduced until Dust is on the PS4 (which means never). And another post that just spews negativity while adding nothing productive. How about we at least stick to reasonable discussion? There's no need to turn every single thread anyone makes into a thread about how the game sucks.

Lol Every thread is about (at least a little bit) how the game sucks. Is it bad that as soon as the notification popped up with "Protocake JR" in the box, I knew exactly what your post would be? Getting rather predictable, my friend. My original question still stands. Just looking for some word on status, even if it's just to say they're on the same back-burner as MTACs.

I get what you're saying though, and I'm personally looking forward to finally getting my hands on some Caldari Lights. I might even try and get back into Dropships if the 1.5 revamp goes well.
