The proper response would be. “Oh, I didn’t realize that. That’s just as cool, maybe even better. Thanks for pointing that out”

not being an *** because your $#)*&$ ego cant handle being wrong and excited at the same time.

Am I being a swearword about my swearword ego? Or perhaps I'm just being silly because it's super not important at all to be technically correct about conjectures based on preview articles for a version of the game that doesn't exist yet.

So I guess, really, the correct response to, (paraphrasing) "He doesn't have crew, he has crew in the form of a gunner" would've been:

?

Im sick to death of people getting bitchy about stuff I’M excited about because people don’t know how to read and write. 

I'm... sorry you feel that way? I suggest taking that up to someone with whom that happened. Because that has absolutely nothing to do with our interaction.

You expressed no excitement about anything in your reply to me, so I'm certainly not getting bitchy about anything you're excited about, I have no idea what that would be. My reading comprehension and writing are just fine so.... I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Except for an inability to distinguish between different words/icons and then getting insulting when someone tried to politely correct you.

You made an incorrect statement. I made a short post to correct the facts to try and curb false expectations and you and one other poster attacked me for it.

Different words? Or the exact same words as are on the card? Because what I said was:

Who's that riding shotgun...veteran turret gunner?

(Emphasis mine). Looks like I'm doing okay on the ability to distinguish words... and then you replied:

No, Y-Wings have a GUNNER. It’s a new slot.

Whoa whoa whoa. Couldn't the community think that you're implying that all Y-wings have the "gunner" upgrade card built in? You're probably destroying the community with talk like that.

You are half-right, though, it was irresponsible of me to refer to that upgrade slot as the "riding shotgun" slot. I'll make sure to be more technically correct next time before my colloquialisms rip this game apart at the seams.

And nobody attacked you. The other poster said "So" and "get hyped" (with more capital letters and punctuation). That is nothing even resembling an attack.

I guess you could say that "forgottenjoy" was an insult... if you really try hard.

But that only happened after you got on your soapbox about how being hyped but not technically correct is harming the community. Which, again:

?????

It super doesn't matter.

Hype (even the kind with colloquialisms) is actually better for the community than technically correct sticks in the mud.

What you said was

Horton has an EPT AND CREW!!!

Specifically calling out slot types. In error. Then going ahead and admitting that you couldn’t be bothered to read anything else.

It was literally the first (and only) thing I've noticed. I've kinda glossed over the rest.

All I did was correct that minor issue (I was very specific to identify gunner as a slot. Again, you demonstrate an inability to actually read), and multiple people have given me grief for trying to make sure people are excited about true things instead of false ones.

So you go ahead and wallow in your ignorance.

Yes, I know, I'm poking fun at your ludicrous and baseless stance that incorrectly referring to specific upgrade slots will harm the community.

It's funny to me so I'm having fun with it.

It's about as funny as your stance that I can't read or write because I didn't zoom in enough on my phone to see that the completely arbitrary and brand new icon for a new kind of crew was not the old crew icon.

It's like saying people that can't understand hieroglyphics are illiterate.

But feel free to continue to lob actual insults while also playing the victim because some monster on the internet had the audacity to say "so?" to you. The irony is delicious.

I had no problem that you missed that there was a new slot type. My issue was being attacked for trying to correct the error.

Like I have already said, if you had just gone “oh, hey, I hadn’t noticed that, thanks”, everything would have been fine. Instead you choose to be rude, so I’m being rude back.

This is comic for me (ad I assume other, too), but this thread is being derailed hard. Perhaps you two would be kind enough to take this conversation to a private domain. But leave a copy for us later...

I'm intrigued about titles for existing ships being put out. A StealthX and XJ X-wing would be my top picks, to give some extra flavour to the T-65 and a nod to the old EU.

@Forgottenlore and @Sekac get a room.

Is it a fun room? Or is it a lectures on the importance of being technically correct first and hyped later (maybe, if there's time) room?

Because I thought I was already in the fun room.

I was wrong.

New things from the Team Covenant game play video that I've just noticed.

The X-wing has a native white barrel roll, and servomotors give them access to boost and focus -> red boost, so they're shaping up to be a great arc-dodger.

Bombs are dropped in their own phase now; before any ship moves.

Seismic charges are awesome. They attack to an obstacle, then blow it up, dealing 1 damage to everything near them.

A new upgrade type - configuration fills the requirement for most 'flappy' upgrades lise S-foils.
