I don't know much about this external SSD solution that you mentioned for the Xbone, but assuming it's using the USB 3.0 ports, then theoretically the data could be transferred as quickly as the external drive can spit it out.

- Obviously, the other planets. Mercury, Venus, Mars, and who knows what from the outer planets.

Jupiter, perhaps, as a Titan-only planet? ;)

Honestly I do not recall seeing any statistics on ships in the Alpha. Sparrows had durability stats, and some had more features, but ships as far as I could tell were identical except in looks. If someone has a picture of a ship in their inventory from the Alpha we can confirm or deny.

Attach an SSD to your console to emulate the increase in ship speed?

Ships, because I've heard people mention that ships have statistics but they are totally cosmetic, which makes no sense. Perhaps this has been explained somewhere that I missed.

(Fourth race will be Fallen, obviously)

Nope. Tigerman.

Still holding out for Tigerman to appear in any capacity at some point.

But the suggestion that Fallen might be a playable race, well... Apparently the QoR has a couple Fallen bodyguards, by the looks of it.

Could be that some members of the Fallen realize that the Darkness won't discriminate, and the best chance for survival is for all races to band together to protect the Citadel...err, Traveller. Or, I mean, there could always be less noble motivations. THAT'S STARTING TO SOUND PRETTY GREY TO ME.

But realistically, unless it would be a Dreg model, the silhouette for a playable fallen would be too different from the other races for PvP, wouldn't it? The reason the race stuff works right now is because it becomes irrelevant once the helmets go on, right?

(Fourth race will be Fallen, obviously)

Nope. Tigerman.

I did notice in the Grimoire that under the classes section there was a fourth card to be unlocked. It could mean there's a fourth class that will appear in the game's final release, or it's another Ghost Fragment card. Either option seems equally likely at this point.

I am leaning more towards the latter as there is also a fourth card under race. This of course could also mean a fourth race, but I find that even more unlikely than a fourth class that hasn't been revealed.

(Fourth race will be Fallen, obviously)

I'm hoping somewhere in the course of the DLC cycle we see a whole new class or two. More foci are a given at this point, I think.

I'm counting on it, in fact as things stand I will be very much surprised if they don't go down that road. Warrior (Titan) , Rogue/Ranger (Hunter), Mage (Warlock) and...

Cleric/Medic (Full Support Type).

Unless Bungie can crate a whole new never before seen class then Medic would likely be it.
( Tigerman would be its own class. >_> Just say'n )

Xenos and I were theorizing about this after seeing the alpha site of b.net, there is a set of stats for revives in crucible. So it's definitely going to be employed in some fashion if their going to count the stats for it.

Excellent news. I look forward to undoing Schooly's marksmanship for all of you.

Man, I miss that chaos. I wonder what Bungle has cooked up for Destiny's equivalent of Actionsack.

Well according to Schooly D, it'll be actionSUCK.

I was thinking of this exact thing, as well, and hoping it's more than visual flare for a cutscene.

I sincerely hope so too. The cloaking effect seems to indicate an "Arc" association and we haven't yet seen the skill palette for the BladeDancer, have we?

I loved Headhunter, I'm sad that it never quite caught on. It was a ridiculous amount of fun if you weren't too competitive about it.

THIS MAN GETS IT.
