Is the 600i really this big?

Yes but I vaguely recall that ship the 890 was scheduled for an entire year of work but can't remember if that was 2017 or 2018. Plus the Dev teams have grown and processes improved so surely it'll be quicker this time around.
It was scheduled to start soon and go into if not beyond 2018. But then they decided that making the textures and graphical style in the 600 would improve the speed they can implement the 890j so it got bumped.

Yup, the styling and textures of the 600 will go directly into the 890 and hopefully speed up production.

30m bump in size puts it at Starfarer size:



Im not sure how to feel about this!

What will happen to the 890J?
Well fuck me. The only reason I bought the Pheonix instead of the 600, was the limited status and the Josh Coons magic touch. I melted it to get an 890J with the credit and cash, but if the size difference is this much, perhaps I'll use my Pheonix buy back for a 600 instead.

i would expect at least the same length as the Polaris which would (*magicpaintskills*) look like this:
View attachment 8411
which is roughly 30% bigger (and is quite a heavy mass to move around)
Jeez, if that is a true representation of the 890's size, I'm gonna need a bigger cleanup crew for after the parties.
"Johnson! More mops!"

Okay here we go folks. Let the shit-posting battle begin.


Is the Pope Catholic?
He says he is, but we only have his word for it. Do you trust The Pope? (Remember he is the Pope, not just any Pope.)

Essentially my question is, would you lend him 20 bucks and expect to get it back?

I'm not religious, but yes, if he said he would.

get an lti token then upgrade to 600i later then if phoenix gets bigger you can buyback
That's my game plan, which is why I shed no tears in melting the Phoenix to get the 890J. But it might wait if-when I get the cash to be get the 600i.
I'm such a ship whore.
