Thread: Ponder this dev quote
/hangs up a pinata
" The TIE Interceptor is also one of the fastest ships in JTL. The interceptors are balanced to be very fast, and thus very light. So for now, I do not intend to increase the mass on these, because they
already have a significant advantage in their speed and handling."

Soo... who wants first crack at this with a bat?

*grabs the bat, puts on the blindfold and raises the bat to swing, while raising the bat, catches Darth Platypus between the legs*
*shrug* Close enough for development work around here

/smacks pinata to the left

PVE wise, is this accurate? (or maybe its too accurate?) not sure.
/smacks the pinata to the right
>>, I do not intend to increase the mass on these, because they

RotW: What were they thinking?

Ah Ha. No wonder why it 1.Didn't seem that familiar 2.Made them sound like hypocrates.
Yes I see the reasoning at the time, but things have changed, as surpise it is an MMOG.
But even so they were never the fastest ship in game, but they are tied with the highest mdoifier, and was balanced against the rest of the pre-RotW
It was never that great, the squint should have been modled around the same stats as the advanced, that would have made it a great ship. As it stands now, it is junk.
I do like the RG Int, with the hitbox that small, I fly no shields and no armour. Makes it a lot of fun 
I can wedge in that big cannon, fast engine, and fly like a TIE should
He never said it was the fastest. just one of them.
I love old dev quotes when i find them

useless tidbit of knowledge:
Much of modern medicine wasnt invented, it was REinvented. The ancient world already knew alot of what we know today. A roman surgeons tools are nearly identical to a modern surgeons. (Ode to the dark/middle ages where all this knowledge was lost.) The medical symbol still in use today (with the snake wrapped around a rod) is acutally the rod and serpant carried by Aesculapius, the ancient roman god of healing.
