I do like the little flying bug things on Edgewinter.

I agree the whole thing could have been handled better, particularly with regard to the information consumers were provided with in advance. But some of the anger is over the top. Presumably the problem with Mirage is that it would cause too many problems with people not having the content, as it would pop up all over the online games, whereas the tracks would cause less of an issue. It`s a shame a way to deal with this couldn`t have been worked out, so others could see the ship even if they can play it.
Lunar, so it IS possible to play the DLC tracks with normal online multiplayer if both players have purchased the content? Or is this only via Kai or another tunneling application?

I think your explanation about Mirage and other DLC ships not being used online makes sense-- displaying the ships in game is a HUGE deal, of course. Unless the "DLC" was ALREADY on the Pulse UMD, I don't see how this would be handled.

And can you imagine how pissed off people would be if the "DLC" was already on the Pulse UMD, and the file that you downloaded only allows access to it? I can't imagine Sony would want to go that route.
