The size looks like it could be around the same as a Razor (shown on a similar stand in the background), although it does appear narrower:
There is the possibility that it could be this (From the March "monthly report"):

If so, having "maneuvering components" beyond simple suspension would suggest a possible hybrid ship\ground vehicle, which could be interesting.

That means wheels, so its a ground vehicle unless that is referencing landing gear.

I don't think it will be a ground vehicle because that would be downstairs with other ground vehicles.
That said, I have been noticing a distinct lack of new ships lately. A couple of years ago, it was a new ship every 2 months or so, now it's just a new sale for existing ships every month and nothing new.
I am wondering if they think they have enough ships and they just want people to buy existing ships from now on.

But ships are money-makers. I think they’re just overwhelmed lol.

Well they have over 30 ships and vehicles in the matrix to make, so maybe your right.
Agreed, there has definitely been a slowdown in new concepts. Maybe the evil MBA's in marketing have optimized the timing for one of their all-powerful charts?
Wasn't there personally, but one of the comments reported from the dev presence at Con42 indicated that they intend to continue creating new ships for the life of the game.
I remember years ago Ben and CR both stated that they would continue to sell new ships after launch and with the IAE and and Invictus now part of in game lore I would expect ship sale events to continue as CR stated that they would use something similar to a World of Tanks business model.
And they have to bring most ships up to current gold standard, also they have put 7 artist on a single ship the Polaris where after the Carrack they stated there would only be 2 per ship due to mistakes that delayed it because of lack of communication.
That statement scares me... The World of Tanks business model revolves around releasing progressivly more OP vehicles, to "force" people to have to buy them to remain competetive (I've been playing that game on-and-off since near the end of open beta).
It is possible that there is a power creep most games end up with it. And given SC funding will continue to come from sales of something it's entirely possible to end up with such a scenario as world of tanks.
I have to say CIG has gotten themselves into a sticky situation with ship sales as it's their current funding model as well as a source of great tech debt. Every ship currently in game needs a great deal of rework and the backlog of ships that need to be modeled is large as well and would take years to complete which has become a point of contention in the community. Especially when newer announced ships get added to the game while old concepts remain that.
Good point on it being downstairs... Perhaps it's a Snub/Parasite?
big bennys needs to sponser this no matter what it is so we can have a mcflurry officially in game.
