yeah, definatly better. that recluse carrier sounds interesting enough to consider it, but again, I'd probably won't spend my money this round. That said, if they keep improving the mid range prizes, it will become harder for me to resist.
As for the bridge officer, maybe they're saving it up for a featured episode or something
EDIT: I did a random IGE, and when we finally killed manus, I discovered what I've been coveting for months, the prototype PSG
. Now with my completed maco set, I just need to get lucky and collect the 3 prototypes again for omega force
then do it again on my alts
