An Idea about commemorating Columbia

Deffinietely a Clydesdale

Hmm, yes that is EXACTLY what I had in mind, honoring a space bus with another space bus...

In my mind when first posting this was, the use of "Columbia" in two ways,

one, either being on a mission where you had to "Save the Columbia" or another one starting with its destruction where you had to find some "important piece of crap" :) thereby naming it...

"Columbia, picking up the pieces" :)

But, of course all those are entirely optional.
Even its inclusion as a ancestor to the tragically lost Spaceship speaks volumes of all the People included in "Standoff"
 
There will only be two or three Clydesdales in the game... The Columbia will probably be either the one which ships the Sabres or the one which ships the Crossbows to the TCS Firekka, so the player will have to escort it home after he's done with a mission's primary objectives (and of course, failing this will leave the player without any Sabres/Crossbows to play with).
 
Oh :(

I liked the idea of something named "Columbia, picking up the pieces." I could have thrown in a musical quote from the song by Average White Band (hot song).
 
Hmmm. I'm definitely going to keep the Columbia in one piece in Standoff... we can blow up other, more interesting ships (preferrably unrelated to real people's deaths) anyway.
 
Perfectly understandable, in fact, I agree. It just would have been fun (and funny) if I could have thrown that song in somehow.
 
I don't understand why anybody wouldn't want the full cockpit view, but I guess there are some you don't like this sort of thing.
 
Wait, I'm getting an idea

Hey, why not have a mission where you have to protect a memorial to the crew of the Columbia and those lost at 9/11 and the war on terror. Sort of a memorial to our era--an era of world terror.
 
How about a TCS Weresorryforallthosepeoplethatdied? You know, to comemorate all those ...people that uh...died.
 
I don't really see a reason to comemorate the people who died on 9/11. They're just people who died, and they have nothing to do with space flight at all. Not being from the US myself, I'd rather comemorate the civilians who died on Afghanistan (first in the hands of the soviets, and more recently in the hands of the americans), but they have nothing to do with space flight either.
 
Yeah, just thought I'd make it clear that your view on this subject coincides with Standoff's Official View On This Subject... or something. :p
