So...this seems to tell me they don't really have anything going on with the super secret space project. The fact that the best description of the 'new heroic space' amounts to 2 vague paragraphs won't be very exciting to space junkies. I am completely thrilled with the idea that this will finally be a rewarding system with a little more depth...gear and more ship upgrades were a much needed part to this puzzle.
Now if only the gameplay could be vastly improved for everyone else who wants it.
I'm sorry HK. Today is not your day.
