In the campaign, right when you get attacked at the start in Pravis, there was 2 Stormcarriers that warped in on the station and got spanked... they each had 2 OTS Sunbeams missile in their hold.... I saved the game there and i can now chose to start with @#@$loads of money or blow 4 ground bases and have EPs
I made it to week 3, but then again there is a lot of times where i just let the game open all night while mining drones are deployed and everything but life support turned off, and then let the game open while all my staff is Off duty cuz they all got almost killed by fatigue. Gotta love the realism.
I've made the complete equatorial trip on Earth inside a shuttle, it took 5 hours or so.
