Email with Commander Zavala offers new character insight

To: Commander Zavala (420baller69@thetower.com) CC: Lord Shaxx (shaxxordahaxxor@thetower.com), Amanda Holliday (cantuncrossmyis@thetower.com) From: Titan 0061234756 (titan0061234756@thetower.com) Subject: Upgraded Guardian Combat Transport Commander Zavala, After extensive testing, both in the field and in the Crucible, I have found that the Fallen vehicle designated as a “Pike” may severely out class the Sparrow speeders currently provided to active-duty Guardians. Broadly speaking, the Pike provides superior pilot coverage against hostile fire in the front fire arc, is significantly more resistant to damage and provides fantastic fire support via its dual arc cannons. It matches basic model Sparrows in maximum velocity and provides unlimited lateral movement via maneuvering thrusters (these are similar lateral thrusters provided on higher grade Sparrows such as the S-31V but these versions can only be used infrequently in combat situations.). The only area in which the Sparrow seems to outclass the Pike is in the case of the maximum velocity of higher grade Sparrows and the ability of all Sparrows to maintain their maximum velocity for as long as needed. Pikes need to occasionally kick down to slower speeds after running at full burn but are rapidly able to recover the ability to again run at full speed. Additionally, some very rare Sparrow models may possess hidden reserves of speed, though such models are notorious for killing their riders. While not wanting to trample upon the proud heritage of the Sparrow, I strongly believe that the Pike would be a better choice for combat bound Guardians. I understand that the vehicle is alien in origin but I believe that the Shipwright could or already has reverse-engineered the Pike for use by Guardians. In fact, I strongly suspect the City capable of manufacturing Pikes due to the raw number of these vehicles trans-matted into Lord Shaxx’s Crucible training grounds each day. As a frequent Crucible participant, I routinely observe these vehicles being destroyed and replaced dozens of times each day. Given the potential value of Pikes in combating the enemies of humanity, I propose that either a portion of Crucible bound Pikes be phased into service with active-duty Guardians or that Pike production be increased, with the surplus to be delivered to worthy Guardians. -Titan 0061234756 To: Titan 0061234756 (titan0061234756@thetower.com) From: Commander Zavala (420baller69@thetower.com) Subject: Re: Upgraded Guardian Combat Transport Dear Some Whiny Titan, L2P, nub. -Commander Zavala To: Commander Zavala (420baller69@thetower.com) From: Titan 0061234756 (titan0061234756@thetower.com) Subject: Re: re: Upgraded Guardian Combat Transport Commander Zavala, I was not clear on what you meant in your response to my request that we upgrade the current generation of Guardian Combat Transports. Would you mind clarifying the portions of my request that you take issue with? -Titan 0061234756 To: Titan 0061234756 (titan0061234756@thetower.com) From: Commander Zavala (420baller69@thetower.com) Subject: Re: Upgraded Guardian Combat Transport Idoit, we cant always get what we want sparrows are fine just fight better im tired of people always whining they need things because I need stuff too Do you know what I need????
