Of particular interest to me is the 7 min mark. Assaults and heavies due for some tweaking, but also autocannons, which he says are out performing their intended use (I agree).
I've felt that they were too powerful compared to energy weapons, so I'm glad they're being looked at to be put in their place a bit. I just hope that means accuracy/ROF, not more ghost heat.

I like the part about the Banshee too. Trying to make it look old school. I noticed when I got mine how raw and basic the cockpit is. The Atlas has nice red carpet, others looks more modern, but the Banshee has an exposed tube cage, more metal, like a race car without any creature comforts. Well done IMO.

The launch module sounds pretty good IMO. A private match night could be a LOT of fun with just us. The free version would probably suit us, I don't know why we would want to alter the time limit, and we can just agree about any tonnage type restrictions (if any). Sounds to me like the premium would only suit ladder gaming, probably with shorter time limits. No cbills, xp or cheevos in private matches. Who cares. Sounds like fun to me.
