For QC => Stealth, Dark and Steel are just colors on an identical base, a base which we’ve already QC:d functionality-wise. Based on pictures and video calls we’ve had with the factory all 3 finishes are phenomenal if not perfect. The completed dark cases are functionally as solid as Stealth units based on our video calls. I don’t see much more we can learn by waiting for them to ship us a dark unit, other than delaying the shipping of them further.Moreover, the factory knows the consequences of messing it up...namely, us withholding the 70% balance payment for Batch 1 and a potential cancellation of Batch 2 (withhold the balance and reverse the initial payment). Apart from them being and epic manufacturer, I think a big part of why they have been so careful with creating each finish and case is precisely because of those points — the consequences of failure are very bad but as long as they do a good job we will continue to bring them good business.[USER=6179]@For_Science[/USER] I too miss the page 20-ish of us all designing the case. But once we've shipped Batch 1 and wait for Batch 2 to complete there’s going to be lots of time for that again. Especially with so many people having it in hand, I think we can make some epic stuff for MJOLNIR (and quickly stress test the ideas).
