Need I remind you you how fast GTVA R&D is?  Plus this thing is about two kilometers across....still smaller than a destroyer.  And the GTVA has well over a hundred destroyers.  7 years is reasonable IMO.

In fact, I purposely designed it to be a 'lead up' to the Charon portal in general looks.  Plus I did in yesterday afternoon in an hour or so...

You could have some neat defense missions defending a smaller Knossos from attack during an evacuation, methinks.

I could see the GTVI fielding some of these in ummm... unique locations...

Like some crazy old guy said: "Why have one when you can have two for twice the price!"

Completely off topic, but since IW2 was mentioned: does space in IW2 seem too... bright to anyone? It doesn't feel like the cold and inky black. It feels more like flying in endless evening sky.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
