CIG released a article yesterday labeled "Portfolio: Greycat Industrial" which talked about expanding the line of Greycat vehicles in the last section and navigating "cramped mining tunnels". I'm going to go out on a limb and say CIG is giving us all a clue on the next (leaked) concept and we're going to see this Greycat mining vehicle soon for sale.

Do you think when mining in a vehicle like this, could the mined rocks be stored in a nearby owned ship? This would be cool to get with possibly a larger cargo ship (Constellation, Mercury, etc) where you could go mine everything and store it in another ship...

Saw this on Spectrum a few moments ago too... Looking pretty well fleshed out up here, which is awesome! With all the work that's being done to the Hercules ship, I'm thinking this mayl drop into the 'Verse by the end of the year. Something I saw in this picture I thought was interesting... If you look past the middle "hump" of components, there's a section of wall protruding from the rest of the hull with glass walls and a grated door it looks like. I really wonder what that's for and what's behind it?

Currently the only known entrance is the rear ramp. It was stated during the concept sale/Q&A that this was the only entrance and they weren't looking at adding any other, but CIG has been known to listen to the backers on other concept ships. We could see perhaps another entrance added.

Plus, there are (supposedly) additional thrusters in the wings and the turrets retract a bit into the ship hull when not in use. Can't say I was completely happy to see the Mercury get a bit big, but it's still awesome and I can't wait to apply my Mercury CCU to fly it...

Good quick overview of the Cutlass Blue. I have one in my buy-backs, but not sure yet if I want it or not...

Hhmmm...

Possible, would love to see if they are! That said, the image is just an old concept image for the 890J... so who knows?

If I read everywhere correctly, currently the Anvil Carrack has a total of 456 units of cargo space and only the three cargo pods are used for cargo. Has it ever been asked or answered why the rover bay is also not used for cargo space? (think the Valkyrie the cry to use vehicle space for cargo)

Another big bump in price... Carrack is "flyable" https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/17495-Anvil-Carrack-Flyable-Now

I uploaded these on Spectrum, but thought I'd share here too. I took the new concept interiors for the Hercules and overlaid them on the Hercules holo-viewer...

...and this is why I still have a C2 CCU...

Maybe they saw my post on the forums about just making the thrusters bigger

Patch 3.8.2 has hit the PTU... No mention of the Carrack though, but the Devs seem to really like introducing new ships in the PU recently by flying them up to unsuspecting players and hovering around teasing them (like they did with the Mantis and Argo Mole). Can't wait to see more!

That would be pretty awesome! Unfortunately, I never picked up the $0 CCU's from Vanguard--Merchantman (even though I did at one point have a Vanguard). The Merchantman never really interested me. So in order to get to that level I'd need to pledge quite a bit more--which I don't think I'm in a position to do--to be able to use your $10 CCU. But, that is VERY generous of you to offer, and I appreciate it greatly!
