FYI it's fairly likely the Mercury will get a price hike when it releases- par for the course for ships lately.

It's currently only available in the Scoundrel Pack which is a Concierge only package for 695 USD (although Support will usually let you purchase it if you message them).

It also is a 100 dollar savings off the raw melt value + PU/SQ42 if that's any interest.

Have one of these beauty packages in my fleet.

RSI ship supposedly. Looks beefy.
Very beefiy, looks they are S7 or so...
I wonder whi pushing for a new large ship instead of the Polaris that most baker are waiting for: size shouldn't be a concerng since the dimension looks like in the range of the 890j...

I still expect it to be a refinery ship, unlike most who expect an explorer.

I interprete Nomad as moving from place to place, harvesting resources and moving on.
I like that idea, if that is the way it will make the perfect ship for and explorer/solo player, especially if it does have a smal hangar for secondary ship (kraken style).

So according to those pictures, they'll be showing the Corsair and the SRV. Which are 2 ships I'm intrigued with.

EDIT: Also the Ranger.
I bet those are hologram viewer, like the MSR one during Invictus week, not a bad 'tho, it could meean those ship are in some sort of working stage past the concept one.

Depending on its price, instead of purchasing as a standalone ship, I might upgrade something in my fleet to this, if CIG allows for that possibility.

I still expect it to be a refinery ship, unlike most who expect an explorer.

I interprete Nomad as moving from place to place, harvesting resources and moving on.
If the Nomad is the refinery ship that CIG briefly discussed at last years CitizenCon & IF it has the capability to safely refine Quantanium, then I'm sure that this ship will be a must have for those that are mining to save themselves from the risks of either losing their entire load of ore or their lives & ships if they wait too long.

Constellation Taurus on the showroom floor........Oh YEAH!
The last I recalled, the Taurus transports approx 144 SCU of cargo. Unless that is getting a rather large increase with it's modifications, that's not all that much more than the Max while in a much larger target. This being said, Connies are still awesome in my book.

Personally I don't think any of the Small Refinery ships look particularly Consolidated Outland....but they only have the Mustangs in game so its hard to tell. The design could be different but since the Talon and ROC are exactly the same IDK.

I think with a name like the Nomad it's more likely to be a small exploration ship- like a Terrapin but not nearly as heavily armored, and geared more towards longer range exploration like a Mini-Carrack.

Also refinery- is it explicitly mineral refining or fuel refining? Starfarer has an onboard refinery for Hydrogen fuel.

Or maybe- wild wild speculation here- the Nomad is a refinery ship....and an explorer! A self-sufficient ship for exploration that refines it's own fuel!
