How will this ship do against that ship?

I think people forget to include the crew in that. Remember the Gamescom demo, where every time we practised that demo, day in, day out, the Retaliator won. And then we get to the live presentation and the Connie wins. Or the same thing with the Marines in the last demo. Again, it was the good guys who were supposed to win every single time. The press version that we cut together, that's the Marines winning. And then they get on stage and they go, no. So people tend to focus on which ship can beat which ship. And I really think the focus should be on what crew can beat what crew, because that's ultimately what's going to matter.

Especially just the combinatorics big picture for what you'll actually be able to do with components and tuning and how you change up your ship. I was just putting some numbers together yesterday, just from my last job working on Diablo. The Constellation is going to probably have as many component tuning and loadout options as some of the characters in Diablo, and that's a figure that's exponentially represented. It's like 1.75 to the 11th power of permutational options for what you can actually do. Not all of those are going to be ideal choices. Not all of those are going to be I-win-type answers, but just to have an insane number of choices.
