Hear that sound? It's me kicking myself, too. Years ago, I soundly
mocked
some friends of mine for picking up a ton of those packs on sale. "We
don't *play* microarmor! Why waste your money?"
Idiot. I have a handful of the VTOLs, and I love them. I want more,
but
I'm resigned to not being able to obtain them. I've got three of the
big
transport plane, though. One of these days I might even be able to get
one
of them into gamable shape.
