While I see what you mean about four Hornets being able to defeat one fully manned Constellation, that seems like it would make it a kind of stupid decision for four people to decide to man one ship. I mean, in real life, there would be a gigantic monetary reason for something like that. (Assuming that the Constellation would cost significantly less than four smaller ships.) But in a game where basically everyone will own their own ship, it raises the question, "Why would four people ever fly together?"Chris Roberts · Reddit · 1 Nov 2012
I take it there will be a full range of gear able to be purchased without the need of having citizenship, but will there be gear specifically for citizens?Chris Roberts · Reddit · 1 Nov 2012
When you approach ship balancing, will the goal be to have, say, an eight-man ship balance against 8 single man fighters, assuming similar skill levels and all posts manned?Chris Roberts · Reddit · 1 Nov 2012
Can you expand some on the options for ship tender on the RSI Constellation? Are their any options / roles those options are built for, that have been proposed for different ships to use in the Constellation? Will there be any jump-capable ships that will fit?Chris Roberts · Reddit · 1 Nov 2012
