No, but I caught it right away.  Fixed now.

What I get for reading my industry rags while posting here.
"Ah, yes.  The belle dame sans merci.  The sweet young thing who will blast your nuts off.  The kitten with a whip.  That mystique?"
"Slavish adherence to formal ritual is a sign that one has nothing better to think about."
"Variety is the spice of battle."
"I've fought in... what... a hundred battles, a thousand battles?  It could be a million as far as I know.  I've fought for anybody who offered a decent contract and a couple who didn't.  And the universe is not much different after all that.  I could go on fighting for another hundred years and it would still look the same."

It was about putting GPS on the moon.

Am I the only one who wants to fit improved jump jets and  partial wings to one of these?

Having grown tired of no jumping Stalkers, I decided to reject canon reality and substitute my own:

I don't think MMLs or ATMs are up to that task. I think you have to go to sub-capital missile launchers to get out of the atmosphere.

 I am the guy who made an Albatross that can actually work with an axe, but never have I conceived of adding Jump Jets to a Stalker. It feels... taboo.

 Maybe a Crocket. Roleplay births unnatural machines.
