Damnit.   :angry:

I thought my fleet was complete until I remembered over the weekend about the Endeavour-Class Research Platform which CR announced in his 'Letter from the Chairman' on 7th October 2014.   The ability to create and research things will be a must.   Just as well I have one more 15% discount voucher to use......Muhahahaha!

The ship is the first of the fourth wave of concept ships.

QuoteMISC Endeavor-class Research Platform:
 The MISC Endeavor is the company’s most prestigious ship: a dedicated research platform capable of carrying a dozen different space science packages, running the gamut from advanced long-range scanners for jump point identification to additional shielding for near-stellar corona research. Externally, the Endeavor is dotted with sensor hardpoints; internally, the main compartment is centered on a large research laboratory which can be configured for use by a wide range of scientific disciplines. The Endeavor’s main compartment is modular, allowing an alternate configuration as a Hope-class floating hospital. This variant is employed by the UEE and other organizations as battlefield support, capable of getting Marines and pilots back to the battle as quickly as possible! When outfitted as a hospital, the Endeavor’s docking bay is capable of maintaining a single Cutlass Red ambulance. The Endeavor has also found its way into the service of less reputable organizations, where it can has been modified for everything from narcotics production to black market surgery.

Yea. If there was to be anything that would tempt me to part of my savings, it would be this. I don't know if thats a good thing or not :S

I see this as something the org will need, so I'm interested in the social module when it comes out, to see what it will allow us to share to friends and the DMW org.   I'm guessing we'll only see a smaller part of the final functionality, but I am really hoping to see encouraging signs as to the direction they are taking in these early releases.   It was an area that SWTOR got so horribly wrong on launch and it lost them a chunk of their fan base, so I'm keen to see that SC does not make the same mistakes.

So, who's hangar are we all going to visit when the social module drops? :)

Yeah, this intreagues me too.  I'll be melting for it though - there's all kinds of stuff I can shed before spending any actual money ;)

As for who's hangar?  I'm a bit absent right now, but should be around for social duties from time to time.  Although mine is quite dull right now (most of it's still in concept).
