I agree with that, too. They probably could have made things more expensive for Xur, though.

"hmm, what can we do to make these different?"
"why not raise the wings?"
All ships share the same 3 components, they are just arranged differently. Body, nose and wings. Bungie just mixed and match elements as if they were making them in Kerbal Space Program.

Let's bend the wings a little.

Yeah, how pointless ships are in Destiny is a tad disappointing.

i don't even see the point. the differences are negligible for most of them.

"what color should it be?"
"the very best color of all, of course. brown"
They only exist to make you feel special.

I find it more than a little concerning how Bungie can't seem to understand that a territory-based gametype needs the following things:
1. A center zone that's equal distance away from either team. There's a small map on Mars (forgot the name) where Bravo team can cover both A and B from basically their spawn point.
2. In a Control match, why do kills count towards the final match score? It should be only captured zones that add towards your team score. It's bullshit how the main objective nearly becomes secondary.
3. Don't spawn enemies in zones that they don't control. Does your team control zones A and B? Not for long, since Destiny's spawn system will spawn enemies behind you at control points that they don't even control.
Control is just filled with bone-headed decisions and map design that I wonder if Bungie even played the game before releasing it. Jesus, all they had to do was copy Domination from Call of Duty. It's only been one of the most popular gametypes in that series for seven years.

Sigh... Just played a game where a guy on my team openly told everyone he was going to troll and force the team to lose in Iron Banner... And he did just that by never capping a point, purposely feeding the enemy kills, and doing everything he could to make things harder on the rest of us.....
This is true for Sunsinger. Can anyone test/confirm that the Surge effect on Voidwalker does affect reload speed, though?
What does Iron Banner rep give you? Anything good? I'm trying to figure out why I keep playing this dumb fucking mode.
My team either sucks and quits or sucks and charges into the enemy. I almost always end up staying even if most of the team quits. Why? It doesn't net me any IB rep. At least if my team sucks in Crucible I can still salvage a little rep out of it.
What's the incentive not to quit if your team is losing or down 4 people?

My Raid group has a guaranteed method of giving exotics to the people in order. They deliberately die a ton so that they always get the exotic. They have done it since the Moon and it has been consistent.
Perhaps this guy wanted to do that?

During that E3 demo... when the ship hovers in and your dude jumps down... I wish you could just fly ships over the environment and drop anywhere.
Ships are there to give variety to the abundance of loading screens, its just too bad most of them are poop colored.

it's like one of the basic pillars of map design.

Wearing class items that are from a Faction such as Dead Orbit or Future War Cult will net you rep for those factions in place of gaining them for Vanguard or Crucible e.g. when you turn in bounties, strike playlist, etc...
Other than that they seem to only serve a cosmetic function, which is still arguably an important aspect of any MMO since we all like to have our characters feel unique. The Legendary cloaks for Hunters are just longer with larger, richer colors and designs from what I can tell. I enjoy my Cult/Trinary Star cloak but have also recently taken to the Cloak of Hidden Agendas.

So, in the beta, there were these areas that had high level enemies, supposedly there to block particular areas.
I went to one area I remember in Old Russia, kinda right where you get dropped off in patrol mode, and killed two knights that had ?? over their heads when you saw them in the beta. Turns out, it's just a small room with absolutely nothing remotely interesting inside it.
There was an interview with Deej about these encounters, and he said these are aspirational moments, where one day, you aspire to be powerful to take these guys down and move into these blocked areas.
Sooooo......was that it? Gain access to a tiny room with nothing inside it? Is it that way with all these other areas that had those powerful enemies around?

I think what makes it worse is that the only time you really see your fireteam's ships are at an angle from directly behind everyone's thrusters, or from a top-down angle that flattens the features of the ships and make it hard to appreciate some of the (minor) differences.

Every single one, yes.
43 Strange Coins after tonight. I'm ready for whatever (disappointment) Xur has this weekend.
Need a couple Motes of Light and Cloak of House Stark will be mine!
149 Vanguard Marks....1 more and I can add to my arsenal.
Another productive night. Even when I'm not making massive gains and finding great additions to my inventory, I'm still chipping away at little bits here and there.

That DLC paywall.
I have two ships that are the same as well. Maybe I should take a closer look and see if there is a small subtle difference between the two. But both times I checked they looked pretty much the same.
It's fun?
The Fallen will continue to claw at the walls of our city unless we strike them down. Beneath the ruins of a Cosmodrome, in the shadow of an old colony ship we've located the house of Devil's Lair, and their high servitor feeding them their strength. We must destroy their machine god, and send their souls screaming back to hell...

They look cool. I buy a cape every week now after losing on my Crytarch roll the first time.

Where is Xur Located during the weekend?
So tired of that line
The more points you own the bigger the bonus you get for each kill. It's important to own the points as each kill gets more points and your team is that much closer to winning.
