As a detailed reference, Cary Brown wrote a segment on how Furies launch and dock. Check it out, its a good read. Not this game. But if this game does well, atmospheric and planet based assaults would be cool to add to another game. Will we launch from the Cobra bays or just appear in space.
Cockpits are different for every vessel.
Each have their own distinct console and HUD configurations, although there are commonalities. Things such as targeting and radar are more or less uniform. Hopefully we will be able to select whatever type of formation that our squad follows. The lead of a V formation is very usefull but in some situations it is not only not prescribed but can be down right dangerous. These formations should be held with the autopilot except in combat situations.
