It was pretty good natured rivalry, but there was no doubt in anyone's mind that the Destroid Pilots got the dirty work, while the Verotech Pilots found themselves with more glamourous roles.After playing for awhile, I was going to "reward" the PC's with a promotion to their own Verotech Fighter Wing (Black Sunrise Squadron), with nickname/callsigns, regimental uniforms...the whole nine yards. When the promotion was announced...the PC's stunned me by turning it down. They were Destroid pilots, and Destroid Pilots were (and I kid you not) DESTROID 4 LIFE.I liked that campiagn a lot, but found the system irritating. I'm contemplating running something similar using Mongoose Publishing's Armageddon 2089.</blockquote>
