I'm 'away' for a little while and a new release drops.
Luckily, nothing major has happened to any of my ships, except my Libby Dread has scored three extra light turret slots(!!) and from what I have read (have NOT read the whole thread), if I want the radar dish animation I have to re-buy one of my ships.
Hmmmm... sorry not gonna happen lol. If it was something like a heavier hull or more guns, definitely.
Been off playing NFS: Heat, not a bad game if you are into arcade racers, too bad it's not 'cross platform', just not enough PC players to go around :p
