This looks cool, as I'm working from home 3 days a week (and for the next 4 weeks at least I'm not going into the office at all - stupid foot sprain). I can definitely add to it.

One is tasked defensively, the other offensively (bordering on the gray area of piracy). That seemed clear to me.

Of course those roles will mature as the game develops. I also expect, depending on size, that we might have more squadrons. I even think the term "squadron" is being loosely used here, as you can join both. It's more like volunteering for duty missions.

Jacen,

That motherboard is micro ATX, which is a smaller form factor and may not fit your case. I suggest you look into a motherboard that is form factor ATX only, so as not to run into any potential size issues with your case. Micro can also run hotter simply due to the proximity of the pieces.

I was thinking about getting a PS4 for it - I've been wanting to get a PS4 anyway, but none of the games interested me as much. I do like Destiny / The Division, and wanted to see which version (if any) was superior.

That's a perception issue; however, if the problem was with their netcode, and none of those guys are the engineers behind netcode, then there's squat they could do. My impression of CR is that's he's no-nonsense, and if someone should have been fixing it, he would have gotten them to do it there. I'm not trying to be an apologist or defensive fanboi, but having worked on presentations in front of clients, you don't stand around and wait if there's something you can do to fix the issue.

Seems fairly legit - you can get a backer slot now for $35 or so which includes Alpha, and there are 4 or 5 modules, so that brings the price in line with a standard AAA game in the PC industry if you back late.

Well, I'll tell my secretary to hold my calls.

PU is a long, long, long ways away. This is my reason for pointing that it's a bit premature to fully plan - but definitely good to keep ideas and thoughts current.
