Anvil Hurricane Concept Sale - Friday February 24th

[Black Sunder]

Confirmed today on the Community Happy Hour. No word on price yet though. The original description made it out to be a fighter of some sort. I'm hoping its been re-purposed as a small salvager. There is precedent for this. The Terrapin was originally supposed to be a small miner/salvager and now its a military scanning/exploration ship.

What do you all think it will be and how much?

It'd be nice to get a small, one-two man salvage ship similar to the Prospector. With a name like "Hurricane" however, I'm thinking it will probably turn up as a fighter. With any luck, it'll be a contender with the Saber. As for price, I'd guess somewhere in the $170-200 range. The ship prices seem to be higher if the ship has a military application, and being an Anvil ship it's almost certain to have military applications.

with the name Hurricane, it could be purposed towards ripping shit apart....like a salvager

Most of the hurricanes I've seen haven't really been into taking pits and pieces off anything. Most have been more like; "Hey! I see that you've just bought a two-seater convertable. Let's see what it'd look like with a big ass pine tree on top of it!"

I take it this happens frequently for you...?

Ehh... Often enough that the local Mazda dealer has me on speed-dial.

They showed some greybox models of the Hurricane a while back, it looks like the Vulture and Viper Mk IV from Elite Dangerous had a baby.
My guess is this is still the Heavy Superiority Fighter of the UEE. I'd be surprised if much of it changed dramatically. This was too well known a craft by name beforehand. And I am pretty sure even CR was giddy about it when he spoke of it initially.

I regularly used to fuck Vipers in my Vulture. There must be loads of hurricanes out there flying around in ED!! Jus' Sayin'....

To me it sounds like a heavy fighter ship. My guess it will be a very high priced ship in game as well as expensive to buy now. I don't think it will be a salvage ship since the crucible can also salvage.

Perhaps it will be the interdictor we've been waiting for with a mass area effect

But the crucible is up there in price range with the reclaimer. I doubt those are going to be the ONLY 2 salvage ships.

you know you're a serious fanboi when you say, "I don't know what it's for, but I want one!"

Thats not fair. I want to see what its good for before I buy it.

Was that a Cinderella reference?

The crucible is only 80m long with a crew of 4. I don't see a ship for salvaging getting any smaller due to the type of work that is needed. The mining got a small ship to go out and hunt for good deposits since your not going to want to take the Massive Orion for "Prospecting" but take the single seat prospector instead.

 

[Plagueis]

I have 2 good thoughts about the hurricane.
1. Corvette since there is only 1
2. Gunship since also there is only 1

Crucible may not be very long, but it is very wide for a ship of its size. I think we will end up getting a single seater salvage ship.

 

[Bruttle]

I don't know. I would be happy either way, but I would prefer to see more occupational ships though. I think we have enough fighters for now.
