I'm guilty of this, myself.

It has its disadvantages, but usually they're obscure and irrelevant. At least in my case, I've never had issues using a PC to complete all the tasks I need it to.

I like how the carrier is a modern interpretation of the original Tiger's Claw, how the Confed (fuck you, they are) fighters are literally Hornets, how the ID codes for the enemy flashing on the bridge displays were Kilrathi text, and how the Barbarian fighters were re-imaginings of classic Kilrathi vessels.

So much nostalgia...

I almost, ALMOST convinced myself to buy the $250 pledge... But $250 is a lot without knowing what the RSI Constellation ship is. If it's a carrier or battleship then I may fork out the money.

You honestly should have gotten the Lancer package...just for the sheer narminess of it.

Never actually crossed my mind, xD...

Would of been funny to see the "Freelancer: Cortexian" as my handle in-game. Alas the pledge is made and I think the Wingnut combat ship is more the flavor of ship I'd like anyway. The Freelancer ship is geared more towards exploration and trading.

The ship you get with Wingnut is the green one you saw in the trailer, the Hornet. I've never liked that one, not even when it debuted in the original Wing Commander. Actually, I'm not much of a fan of the WCI and II designs, the ones from WC III and Prophecy were much, much better.

I know, I liked the Hornet.
