I'm very disappointed.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Granite cannot be customised either. Granite, Nova and Dwarf all use the 'model replacement' tech.
Im still pushing for sports related emotes!
Hitting a baseball with a bat.
Dribbling with a basketball
Playing golf etc
Fair play they are all trying to answer as much as possible 
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
BaB claims he could have Ghost Falcon in a fight.
And to answer your question Tech, the sit emotes all come from NPCs, so that's why they don't have as many.
With that the EU Q&A session is over.
95% of the questions were either "Can't answer that" or just general chitchatting.
Hmm dev of the session award goes to...
TELEVISION!
For generally staying IC and mucking around something chronic, to the point he was winding up Positron.

Should clarify this by saying that 'fiction' was only one of the reasons we opted to not do EAT power customization. It wasn't the only reason, it wasn't even one fo the more important reasons, and it doesn't necessarily mean that we'll never do it.

Does the same necessitate similar treatment for VEAT's?|

They seem to be less closely bound to their power sources, after all.

Yeah, TV was amusing
Although he taunted me with the glowmaps on armour...he then made up for it by being villainous to GG

Okay guys I have 3 screenshots to show you. Excuse the AI etc. Click the thumbnails to get a larger view.
After I asked and everyone bombarded Posi with requests, we saw the fabled Nemesis Horse! Notice Posi in his Wedding Suit!
All of a sudden the Jade Spider appeared and we were attacked. As per usual Positron just floated there while everyone died (that's what the normal NPC's do too!) and just as quickly as it came, it disappeared.
Last but not least a quick pic of Posi and Bab's entertaining the masses and fielding questions.
All in all I had a fantastic time for the time I was able to be there. Special thanks goes to Mod 08 for his patience with my grilling questions on the live serversm and The Television for setting a custom gold title I've wanted forever!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY EVERYONE!

Any chance of a slight VEAT costume revamp? (i.e. making the real Blood Widow, Fortunata, Crab Spider etc. colours default so they're easier to make, allowing the special VEAT costume pieces to be used in costume slots other than the first, etc.)

Don't remember the last time I have spent 4h chatting, no wonder I was tired after and was constantly faceplanting on blaster on live (like I don't do that when I'm not tired )
Television is great (love floating TV), just wish that I could have True friends of the TV title on live server.

I thought there was a limitation on SFX and models. Basically you can't do both. OTOH, I don't see why they couldn't change the SFX on Dwarf and Nova (though it might be a slight kludge.)|

And I hate looking like every other single Dwarf and Nova on the Imperious TF.
Still here, even after all this time!

"HAH! Ain't happening! EAT IT, SUCKERS!"
Has anyone from their chat logs got what I think Castle said about Electric Control and how half its powers being completely different from any other control set? The numpty that I am forgot to switch his chat log on last night :S

Posi is very wrong about new players opting to go to Praetoria, I suspect. If you're new wouldn't you want to start with the "prime" basics before going into the sequel?
Electric control being a distinct set makes me much more interested in it.
A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!
Nothing about Server List merges? I'm surprised it wasn't brought up.

Certain they said that they tried to design it the way that us the players feel like it should be, so they got half the powers of powers that are currently ingame yes. So woot 4.5 new powers paper!
