I'd love to see what they've done for Tevarin art, but actually seeing the tow/mechanic truck being ready would be awesome too.
Somehow, I expect this org to have a lot of use for a mobile repair depot.

I dunno, if you can fix a a TEST ship, It means they were not doing it right !
I'll be getting one. It wouldn't look good for the leader of Rock Raiders to not have one. Kersakov you are welcome to help crew mine or take mine for a spin if I'm not using it.

I will be grabbing one as well so I can repair Black Sunders Orion after I explode a asteroid with my Orion by mistake
We have a very dangerous job it seems. Means we get the most reward for our work. Gold captain's chairs for all Rock Raiders members!

Then its the tevarin prowler.
Even through all this drama, the only thing that would make me lose faith is if CIG sold the stinger, lightning, or another cap ship.

I am actully kinda shocked that they did not put the Phoenix and 890 jump up for sale again, and seem to be sticking with it so far

As long as they don't put out anything larger than the Javelin, they're still ok with their previous promise. That said, they might have the new corvette concepted before SC goes gold.
Out of curiosity, who would be aiming to get the corvette if they offered it for pledging?

Apparently it's a ship that shares a name with an old Wing Commander ship. Random guesses, GO.
Prowler becoming more and more likely.

They usually put up some sort of expensive and limited ship at these events in order to offset the cost. The Espera Prowler and the Anvil Crucible are the last remaining ships from the concept polls. Crucible has already been scratched off by Ben, making the Prowler the safer bet, except that it's not an especially large ship, and it's role is fairly limited. It's role is going to be important for organizations looking for a fight, but I think the limited role of the ship also limits the potential sales.
All this means that it's going to be something that we've not see any official word on. It could be another military cap ship, but it would have to be the unnamed Corvette. It could also be an alien ship; a Xi'an cargo ship / heavy fighter / luxury yacht or a Banu fighter / bomber / light cargo vessel. Possibly another Vanduul Esperia clone, however I think this is less likely. The only real option is to either sell an Espera Scythe, more Glaives or the Void Bomber, which was only recently "declassified" by the UEE.
Going the alien ship route also gives them a good lore reason for the limited availability and a higher price.
Another option would be to drop in of the TNGS entries. I rate this as unlikely but not impossible, as it would not be a limited edition ship. It would sell for about the same price as the Redeemer and have the same role and not likely to be a limited sale.
Finally, we can get into the list of concept ships that didn't meet popular demand. Of these, the one that keeps coming to mind is the Drake Dragonfly, which I also rate as an unlikely option as it's a starter ship and probably wouldn't sell enough units on it's own, nor would it be a limited availability ship.
I think the most logical choice out of any of these would be a large alien ship of some sort as a limited availability ship, in combination with a non-limited human ship (IE, the Prowler, Dragonfly, etc)

Depends on price, I would love a cap ship, but again I feel a little slighted for those who were told there was no more cap ships to be sold.

I hope its not a Esperia Vanduul, it cause so much grief with the original scythe owners, and those who couldn't finish the damn game with all its bugs, many of scythe owners also upgraded theirs to a superior ship even further limiting the number of Scythe.
TNGS could easily have different roles for the ships. The redeemer is a gunship medium armored heavy armed, the 2nd place Origin Boomslang could be a armored VIP (think of Marine 1 for POTUS) lots of luxury and protection, the 3rd place Anvil Phoenix could be a dedicated dropship, as it's focus was more toward dropship with heavy defenses and armor with guns to fend of enemies. The 4th place Anvil Scimitar could pull long range gunship/stealth gunship, its a lower sleeker design and had additional fuel compartment the team said.
Either way, as long as they don't do the Glaive stupid Play to Pay idea, or release another large cap ship i will be okay. I wish CIG would just stick to their guns and promises a little more about selling ships.
