The Aurora isn't exactly meant to be a killer either. The up gunned version is decent on a dogfight, but the real use of many ships will come when they start to implement things like fuel, trade, information and other systems.
Tomcats, stealth bombers, greyhounds, drones and secret aircraft.
I dunno... The concept seems viable and deliverable. There is a market, since millennials need cheap and efficient wheels. People say they want a greener vehicle that they can afford and something that skirts regulations is just the ticket.
They did it wrong.
No harriers... No F-35 either?
This theory is probably alot deeper than the planned plot.
At the moment both the Dog Fighting and racing work, and you can wander around the hangar. FPS is slated for mid year, with the first mission packs coming in fall.
Soooo... Does this mean we can put all of destiny on one farking server?
This.
Fair enough. But we would be comparing the warthogs forty years of outstanding service to a plane twenty years in development.
"its specialized and relies on other aircraft being able to protect it more and more."
The question would be if they can't automate a boom system then. That or make a higher transfer speed drogue (aren't we just talking about a bigger hose and coupling?).
