JUST IN FROM BEN - 5/30/1623:22 - Ship Release Pipeline OLD + NEW Sections to OP below... ++ See RSI Forum Sister ThreadOLD = Yesterday on INN's live interview Ben Lesnick (INN will post the recording on Saturday) (Summary Notes) ..... Confirmed that there will be a Wave 5 Concept Ship Sale and confirmed two of the Ships in the Wave 5 sale !!!-----The Two ships Confirmed to be in the Wave 5 Concept Sale are:1. Drake Dragonfly - Lisa O. has been pushing for this ship on ATV and Ben confirmed yesterday that it will get developed.2. New Corvette - CR on 10FTC confirmed awhile ago that since the Idris was converted to a Frigate that CIG would develop a new Military Corvette (probably a civilian Variant). Ben Confirmed this again in the INN interview yesterday.------Idea Ships:1. Manticore (even though CIG has talked about this ship it could end up being a UEE only ship like the F8 Lighting - not available to players or civilians): -- What is the MANTICORE? According to Travis Day of CIG it was an unintentional leak off of their Internal Wiki (see 3min into interview) --->> Travis Day answers the question: "What is the Manticore?" 2. 5th Starter Ship - Please Vote which ship you would prefer as the 5th Starter Ship to join the Aurora, Mustang, Reliant and Dragonfly:* Aegis Terrapin* Anvil Hurricane3. The Next Great Starship (TNGS) - another (or more) of TNGS could make it into the Wave 5 Concept Sale - Please Vote which of TNGS ship you would prefer:* Shadowmantis (TNGS)* Phoenix (TNGS)* Rhino (TNGS)* Scimitar (TNGS)* AX-14 Silverback (TNGS)* Brutus (TNGS)* A114X Boomslang (TNGS) -----The community has developed a number of great ships for Star Citizen. Vote on your preference for the examples below:1. Northstar - Blackjack2. Anvil Hygeia3. Markon Wings - Hopper4. The Osiris5. Other Ships6. Post your Own Ship on this thread below///////NEW Typically the MEDIUM sized specialty / profession - ships will NOT HAVE refineries or drones like their penultimate (larger) ship counterparts.Below is my theory-crafted list of likely MEDIUM sized Specialty Ships.... in addition to the New Corvette and Drake Dragonfly as being part of the WAVE 5 Concept Ships we will see developed by CIG in 2016:1) Medium Mining Ship = The Terrapin would likely get re-concepted as a Medium Ship Mining Ship (not a Starter Ship) but it still won't have the built-in refining option like the Orion.2) Tug Ship = The Tug Ship will be Re-Concepted as a Variant of the Anvil Crucible (per latest JP mag.)3) Re-Supply Ship = This will also be a Variant of the Anvil Crucible (per latest JP mag.)4) Medium Fuel Ship = To complement the Starfarer we will likely see a Medium Fuel ship... but it still won't have the built-in refining option like the Starfarer.5) Medium Repair Ship = To complement the Crucible we will likely see a Medium Repair ship that can still form the Miller ERS -->> without just drones.... 6) Medium Farming Ship = To complement the Olympic Class Endeavor it would be easy for CIG to create a Single Farming Dome - medium sized - farming ship.7) Troop Transport Ship = We will likely see a "larger" drop ship to compliment the Redeemer, Retaliator (with Drop Ship module) and Prowler and this "larger" drop ship will likely be the Variant of the Genesis Starliner - called the Starlifter (see image below) (CIG has already mentioned this). There will also likely be other Genesis variants per image below.... and also talked about in JP magazine.---------Specialties / Professions that we are NOT LIKELY to see developed as additional Medium WAVE 5 Concept Ships (to compliment their respective penultimate ships).... are:a) Salvage Ship = there are existing ships that can be good salvage ships like the 315p (tractor), Reliant Kore, Cutlass Black, and Caterpillar that can all compliment a Reclaimer.b ) Passanger Ship = there are existing ships that can be good passenger ships with decent living quarters for passenger transport like the Mustang Beta, Base Retaliator with Living Modules, and other ships with passenger modules to compliment the Genesis Starlinerc) VIP Shuttle / Touring Ship = there are enough existing luxury ships like the Aurora LX, 300 series and Phoenix to complement the 890 Jump.d) Exploration Ship = there are existing ships of various sizes that are good exploration ships, like the 315P, Freelancer Dur, Aquila which all compliment the Carrack.e) Science Ship = with the introduction of the Reliant Sen it is less likely that Science will see an additional medium ship to compliment the Endeavor.f) Info Running Ship = there really is no need to have a "medium" ship to compliment the Drake Herald since info-runners would prefer small ships anyway - and the M50 and 350R could also serve as good info-runners.g) Cargo Ship = we have enough cargo shipsh) Combat Ship = we have enough combat ships (if a TNGS is used it will likely be re-purposed)i) Trade Ship = The Banu Merchantman is the Penultimate Trade ship (with built-in Bazaar) but we also have the Caterpillar which is suppose to function the same way (even if it is more specialized for re-selling salvaged or stolen items) - per Randy's ATV interview.j) Medical Ship = the Cutlass Red already serves as a medium ship to complement the Hope Class Endeavor (Hospital Ship) - so its unlikely we will see an additional medium - medical - specialty ship.===========================================================NOTE - Keep in mind that CIG will have about a year (2016) to develop the new WAVE 5 concept ships & the concept artists are not the same developers that will be modeling and detailing / finishing out the existing ships or PU.
