Yeah
The shuttle sucks cause it takes forever for the god damn thing to get ready and then the interface for the drop ship blows too. I just got stuck "loading continent" after they "fixed" it. I exited the game and came back in and I and finally landed.
Trying to get in a GAL is pain too. So f it, I'm just flying myself. :D Plus the Reaver just pumps out the rockets. If I can learn to fly the thing right, it might be scary. I have a joystick near by my mouse all connected and ready to go, I considered grabbing it, but not until after I logged off. hehe
I thought about a GAL cert, but that's a waste of certs at this point for me. You only fly it for a short time.
The other option is to go max like everyone else and I'm just not overly interested in that option either.
