This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

I've never flow the Claw, but I did take a few spins in the Laser-equipped shark.

The Claw was a lot of fun to fly. :x  EXTREMELY tricky to taxi.  If you were not oh so gentle, you'd flip over and explode in an heartbeat. :bhead

All ya had to do was be at the convention in Dallas when they had it up for the one night. Only announcement was to those attending.

I wish it was available offline, or in a separate Space arena.  That arena would do more biz than the WW1 one has, bet on that.

I still remember the night it was flying during the convention, never have comms/200 been more abuzz than that night IMO.  Complete blast to fight against them, I recall very few "waaahs" about it, just mostly guys trying desperately to try and kill them.  Flying near the mothership was fun too, my brain was racing with the potential of HTC making a sim-lite space game that entire evening. 

The vertical performance was a gas to watch, and the weapons, pew pew front guns and whatever it farted out the back, sort of air-mines IIRC.

Definite +1 on a wish to someday have a "Claw" day, or even something semi regular with them.

I've always wondered what kind of time it took HT to cobble the Claw and Mothership together and make em work in the MA.  Brilliant work whatever the time, but if it was short, a Claw arena or some such once other more important projects are finished (long time I'm sure) would be very cool.

THE CLAW!!!  was a blast  :D   

Maybe we should have a perk point piss up on a special day and make it worth like 5000 perks you shoot it down and get 1/5th of the points.
