One thing I love about the game

[Airlift]

So I'm just hoofing it thru the middle of nowhere on the way to the random base number million thirty-five, when I hear the whine of aircraft and the sound of gunfire overhead. I glance up, just in time to see a big fat Galaxy go streaking past on afterburners, being trailed by a swarm of angry reavers and skeet. They appear from the east, disappear to the west, and I never saw them again...

As I was disabling the basement lock at the next site, I wondered where that Galaxy was trying to go, and whatever happened to the crew. It didn't really effect what I was doing, but it just highlights what is the most fun about this game. You figure it out.
