Some more info in the latest around the verse and someone took some stills.

I noticed on one of the images there seems to be a much smaller thruster in the top left corner that might be the launch. Anyway I'm quite pleased with the appearance of it and the features and hopefully it'll make it into the game alright.

110m and handles like a Capitol vessel was Ben's words on the video. I was hoping it was a bit more of a solo ride and could be spun around a planet during exploration but he said more like the Enterprise than the Millennium Falcon. I'll be passing on the Carrack, it looks great but isn't the spec I hoped for.

I don't have permission to view that thread? RSI pulled it or is it subscriber only?

Yep, that's in the subscriber section.

Sorry. My bad. The AtV video is still available to view off the main page. The post just has some stills that are off that episode so you're not missing much. Sorry for the mess about though.

Fair enough really. To be honest its a good thing that its not for everyone. I like the idea of it and think that the spec will be well suited to task. I'm under the impression (perhaps wrongly) that the jump drive will be more powerful than other ships of its type/size. As a result it'll make an excellent forward observer as it can report and jump out quickly (I hope!). Its weapons are designed to deal with smaller threats only, and thats fine by me. If its designated to enter a war zone, it'll need an escort or it'll need to jump out. As far as non-jump manoeuvrability goes, thats what the launch will be for i'd imagine. Who knows, if the launch bay is on the roof (as people are suggesting) it might be able to house something else... Merlin or the other snub fighter maybe.

That mini-game is a nice touch, managed to make it to day 86 before the crew had a nice mutiny party.

Nice fleet dude! I think I'm done now with mine unless something drastic happens. Maybe looking at packages now for npc crew now.
