Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.
The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.
@ ajw34307: I find it wierd that even if I clearly don't have the same taste as you surrounding the reimagined design (I like that these are blue instead of purple though), I'm somewhat ok with the rest. :)
What I meant with the concept of in atmosphere, was that, from what I have gathered, it has always made out to be quite a big deal whether a ship was capable of withstanding the current gravitational pull, etc, without bendin asunder. But it has never lead to anything. All that emphasis, all that suspense, nothing. No consequences whatsoever. And now with the Infinity, they've made even less a deal of it.
If you look at the ship in the live action teaser, it is hovering at skyscrapers level, and it seems perfectly capale of traveling in and out of various planetiods atmospheres. Even crashing on one, just to rise without a scratch.
I bet it'll all be explained with reverse engineering, but I feel they have pushed it too far. Requiem might even be heavier than earth. Have they completely removed the concept, idk?
When it comes to the Cryptum, aren't those things meant to be static, designed to exile, remain where they were when one entered? I though that was the point of it. In Cryptum (the book), the Didacts only why of being conscious, was through the domain. It was not described as something one navigated with ease; more like a navigating a dream (or have I got that wrong?). He woke up weary as blam. So how come whoever is in it, is fully capale of steering it around, from within the domain? Unless it is possible to be in it without going into Cryptum, if so, why not find another, more capale means of transportation? Either way, doesn't mobility kind of defeat its purpose? Unless it's hijacked. But then again, why would it be capable of moving, at all?
I'm having more or less the same problems understanding the rest, but I guess I'll find a more suitable thread for them.
Oh, and thanks for taking your time with my questions.
