It is unknown if this will remain merely a prop, or if it will become a player operated tool but the 3.10 update brings new tech to the Star Citizen universe. GW-9 Diagnostic Cart With more powerful simulation capabilities, the GW-9 can identify problems faster than ever before while locating potential issue with an improved margin of error, doing more than save time on costly repairs, it can save lives. In the year 2020 Diagnostic carts are computers on rolling carts for portable computing with a big screen, minimal setup, and standing operation. It could be for anything from rolling around an aircraft carrier to fix internal components, to a doctors mobile workstation as they rove around the building. I'm gonna go on a limb and assume this is merely a prop to bring the universe alive, as this is the first time we ever learned of this device and the description tells you nothing about what its supposed to diagnose. Ships? Weapons? Alien infections? Who knows, but I'm happy to see an in-lore repair tool regardless. If you see a diagnostic cart in-universe please share a photo of it here!

I never know how soon is too soon to make thease posts, but thats fine, I'll update the first post with the official announcement page when it goes live, and remove the below content that was a false lead. 2019/11/23 - CitizenCon 2949 - A Tevarin Light Fighter concept is briefly discussed. 2020/01/28 - A short story about a Tevarin scout ship referred to as the "Jackal" is mentioned in SC lore.

"The Chairman's Club is teaming with Esperia to bring you exciting surprises. Our sources say a momentous happening may be on the horizon." 2020/07/27 - RSI Website accidentally updates a page titled "Esperia Talon - Strike Hard & Fade Away" The page is inaccessible and the link is pulled quickly. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/17565-Esperia-Talon Link to @Weehamster album for this ship: https://imgur.com/a/n1MnG5g

I hope scrapping gets this variety of game-play and accompanying vehicles.

I re watched the Citizencon panel where this was discussed and thought up a great use for the wheeled miner. Large caves. If the cave is large enough for a vehicle, then you will need this. Walking into caves is already a risk with limited suit power and air, having a vehicle (for where ships can't fit) to replenish and empty your pockets would be really helpful.

Moons would need to have locations that buy resources and ground vehicles need mapping to return to them. Until then I find it hard to see how there is any way this truck is preferred over a prospector. The fact that you enter it like a skid-steer excites me a little. I just logged over 30 hours in Astroneer this month and little buggies are growing on me so long as they get cargo trailers.

I was right, the videos were taken down, it was released too early. https://streamable.com/cul7ox

Gladius was mentioned in 3 different times this week. Looks like its getting the first treatment in 2 new features, probably due to its large role in SQ42. The flight model was detailed with improvements again The whole article is really cool and worth reading if you sat out the 3.x patches because you didn't like the flight model changes. Weapon Racks are being added. The cockpit is updated with a dash makeover with working toggles and lights.

This is fantastic, great videos showing all over the ship in detail. In case the artist removes them, someone should backup the videos for refrence. Here is a Reddit post in case the above link goes dead.

Congratulations!

Well deserved!

"it overheats and drops out of the sky after 3 shots."

"No one can fly an Idris without a good Engineer" - Dan Trufin The entire video is 18 minutes and very worth watching, but when Dan is discussing the changes to the pipes systems, now called "Resource Generation and Item Control", it leads him into the importance of engineers in keeping ships afloat and their systems all online.

And if the enemy lines have a Nautilus laying out VLR-11 sentry mines, then they can shoot your proximity mines before they get time to activate. Mine vs mine action?
