I've been having a lot of fun watching you guys speculate about this the last couple days, a couple of you got it pretty much dead on:
Each empire has their own unique air fighter in PS2. The Reaver belongs to NC, the Mossy is TR. The VS have a new fighter that we're currently calling the Dyson, although that may change (and no, it's not powered by cyclone technology or a smarty-pants British accent).
Each has slightly different flight mechanics, strengths, weaknesses and capabilities which help to reinforce and round out the empire.
Each of these fighters will serve multiple roles depending on how the player loads out the vehicle, you can configure any of them to be more air-to-air orientated, air-to-ground orientated, etc. You'll be able to change out afterburners to get more speed, or armor to get more durability, countermeasures, radar dampening, etc. We're working on a lot of really cool gameplay here, I think you all will be stoked and I can't wait to share a bit more about them soon! =)

Huh. Well I have to admit this one pretty much hit me out of left field. I guess that explains why the Reaver isn't a 2-seater by default. Can't wait to see a Dyson. For those of us less in tune with science, presumably this would be after
Freeman Dyson.

I would personally travel to the PSU servers and eat all of my forum posts complaining about the forward mounted cannon.
