are we excited?!

For initial launch it's perfect for me. If we'll see then any abuse of common tactics it would be just a matter of single patch. People should not get too deep into critique or analysis of something that is not even released yet. I wanna play it first.

Personally, I love the mark. To me, VIP is not about hiding. It is about saying, "Look at me. I am the most important damn ship in the sky. Come at me if you dare."

It is more about a dual between two honor bound captains, wielding ships instead of pistols. You don't run and hide when you are defending your honor. That is why escorts killing each other doesn't matter. That would be like the team mascots beating each other up. Sure, it is funny, but it does not win the game.

It'll be helpful for events. Was a pain to have scorekeepers and also teams keep track of the VIP in Aerodrome. The scoring system is something you have to balance well so escort ships don't feel completely pointless.

Had some very good matches in Aero. Better in Aero 3 after problems with 2's VIP got ironed out better. But there is quirks to the gametype that I hope Muse noticed from both events. I'd have forwarded them some of the notes and findings from Aero if they'd have asked, but this is the first time I'm hearing of this. So I hope they caught what we caught. Suspect VIP will be tweaked a few times before finalized unless it gets rushed out. Dunno. Either way, it's good to see new gametypes coming.

the escort ships can take out the VIP, it just doesn't net you as much. the VIP COULD run away, but they cant hide. i think its pretty cool, and would love to see it in the big pool for players to test the living daylights out of it
