Rhehaud180 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I just hope that whatever it is, I don't want it. Recently got the 600i combo pack and a pioneer, so even though I have plenty of cash- it's less than it was before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Man Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I am intrigued to find out what this ship is. I don't really have any plans to "purchase" another ship, but if a Hull C or D rolls around with a nice price, I may forfeit. However, I do enjoy their videos for this annual period, and last year's approach was a good one. This year's theme switching over to a new marketing setup has me interested in how they approach the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathpole Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I jsut hope I get a shot at a Javelin this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Khan Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 just to point out, the fan runs thru the chassie top and bottom. Also, the cockpit looks like it's one seater. From the wing size if it is a vanguard size the wings would be huge. doesn't have a bed on it. It is as simple as the picture is. Also, they do have two ships on concept sale at the same time around this time of the year. Bigger ships like the Idris and Javelin were on sale for the Christmas sale. Anyway 3000 for a single unarmed ship, too steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reavern Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Since Anvil Aerospace is kicking off the Anniversary Special, that basically confirms the mystery ship is an Anvil ship. Not that was a point of contention, because it's obviously an Anvil ship. On 11/15/2017 at 9:10 AM, VoA said: Good theory crafting with this one. ... Another great video by theNoobifier. It makes sense if the mystery ship is a light fighter, because Anvil doesn't have a light fighter in its line-up. However, it's not what I really want, especially if he's right that, being an Anvil fighter, it'll be heavier, tougher, slower, and less agile than the existing light fighters. That doesn't make much sense for the light fighter role. Wouldn't that mean it would be weaker versus other light fighters, because it's slower and less maneuverable. But it would be stronger versus medium fighters and larger ships because it's more agile than them and is more durable than other light fighters. If my speculation is accurate, those characteristics are not compelling reasons to melt or CCU my Gladius, Sabre, or Xi'An Scout. And I definitely don't intend to buy another light fighter. That's why I'm hoping that I'm right about the mystery ship being larger than a starfighter, and fulfills a different role than combat. theNoobifier also mentioned a theory that I had earlier, regarding the mystery ship's large wings, could mean that it's intended for atmospheric flight and combat. That would make it a little different, but also incredibly restrictive if it can't fly in space at all. I doubt CIG will go to that extreme, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't give it a jump drive, only a quantum drive, and a very small Q-fuel tank. But again, I don't need an "atmo-fighter". Even if it was $50 or less, I wouldn't buy it -- and most backers would buy it primarily for a LTI token. If the mystery ship is an inexpensive starfighter, there's no way that it's the only new concept ship being released for the Anniversary Special. CIG has to have something else up their sleeve. And I hope it's not just another batch of overpriced "special edition" ships, like last year. I hope there's something new and exciting, even if it's modules or component packs for existing ships. Like all the modules for the Caterpillar. Another possibility is a collection of planetary surface items that are suited for Alpha 3.0. Perhaps a deployable mining rig that can be carried aboard a transport, like a Freelancer, as an alternative to a Prospector. Or a Mule wheeled drone that is controllable by the Mobi-glas, which carries an assortment of tools for salvaging, and can also haul the salvaged items back to a ship. Or a deployable Sentry gun turret for guarding your ship when you land on planets. I can see CIG selling stuff like that. But I'm hoping for something special.

Devil Khan Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 We already knew it. The very basic thing by looking at it tells us that it is Anvil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Khan Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I've thinking of CCUing a Hull-D up for Hull-E for a while now. I have more than 1 Hull-D and Hull-C atm. Also depending on the stats and pricing I might get one of those "new" anvil ships. Gotta say I seem to get addicted this time last year when I was getting the Polaris combo pack at CitizenCon, exotic pack on the Anniversary and the Armada pack at Christmas.

Reavern Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I either own or have buybacks for every ship that I want and has been released thus far, so I'm hoping for something new and exciting during the Anniversary Special. I hope CIG has more than just the Anvil mystery ship up their sleeve. Or the Lynx rover, as some have speculated. I want something cool. I wouldn't mind some "Special Edition" ships, like last year, except with worthwhile loadouts and not so overpriced. (WTF was with the $175 Hornet Wildfire!?! That's $65 more than the F7C!) 3 more days... Hopefully we'll get a sneak peek Thursday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Khan Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Yeah, that will ever happen. CIG business dept are down right evil or stupid. Hoping the New ship will cost less than 140 and be a light craft/fighter. I've found them mostly disappointing via price or size eg hurricane, defender etc. CIG havw stated that they were doing a line of ships and then do something else like civilan support role at present. they won't be any sub pics on thurs as they haven't been for the past few concept sales. They have held them back until friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A carefully worded email is quite different from something said in the heat of the moment (as in a presentation, for example). If they were *hoping* for a PTU release, they could and should have said so. The email quite clearly states that they *expect* to have released it by the time of the next email. The connotations are quite different. Todd Papy even inferred as much in the last ATV in pushing for the Minimum Viable Product I referred to. I'm not sure what "code name" you are referring to, the name of the concept fighter is given as the Hawk in the email is it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
