Why don't you show [the new F7A Hornet]?
Jared Huckaby · Host, Community Manager

Because it's not ready to show. Most video game companies do this thing where they don't show you anything until it's final. And then you get an art book after the fact where it shows you all the iteration. We do it a bit differently where we show you a lot of the process. The problem is we have to strike a balance because we don't want to show you things until we're confident they're not going to change. Now that may still change. But we have to feel at least reasonably confident that we're on the right path before we show you something. Because otherwise, we're just playing with your emotions. We show you something that is likely to change. You get attached to it. And then when we change it, people get upset and whatnot. So there's a balancing act. So we show plenty of things early. Like you're going to see the white box of the Caterpillar early and whatnot. And it's even different than the last white box of the Caterpillar that we showed. But we always do try to be responsible in what we show. We have to have a reasonable level of confidence that this is going to be somewhat indicative of the finished product. So it's not always the case. Sometimes changes happen late in the game, but we always do try to do our best. So at this point, it's still too early in the process. It would be irresponsible to show it because it would set off half the community, 'oh, I hate this', and the other half, 'oh, I like this'. And then it may not even be anything near that. So he's still exploring it. So we're just talking to you about the current exploration.
