I chuckled when I initially got the static screen after hitting something with the phoenix; I'm not sure why it was necessary exactly since the user is already exposed for a long time, but I don't think it's a big deal. Does the static need to be so bright, though? Maybe I just have sensitive eyes but after a while it got pretty annoying.
If they remove the ear-shattering noise it makes when flying by =P Seriously though, static, rotating drop pods, phoenix and raven sound, who is getting all these ideas?
