Guys...guys...the answer is obvious and I have been saying it for YEARS. We are about to get a Banu livestock insemination schooner. The Esperia Baster II

I will not rest until I see my schooner!

it's obviously a generation ship. It will change the gameplay, to focus more on cryosleep, or love stories as you accidentally awaken with 1 other player on this ship. Doomed to be flying towards your destination forever.

that's about the only gamechanger i can see coming. With all they already have told us about, i'm hard pressed to see what could be a gamechanger.

The new game changing ship will be a hybrid between Special Ops and Mining.
With the new ship you will be able to infiltrate and destroy/damage Orgs using a modified laser.
This new ship will be the first in the UNDERMINER class.

Game changer, game changer...

So at the moment we have a MMO space sim... so... a ship that... changes the game into... Cooking Mama...?

Or... ZOMG... Are we going to get Mega Maid from Spaceballs???

While I would so love to see the reveal of a base building ship, I could also see them come up with a ship that when landed could double as a base of operations for ground forces & missions. However, in the interest of ALL of us TESTies, I think the ship below would be a wonderful addition for our org if we could change the name to "Big Willies Bar & Grill : Happy Launch Pad of TESTies Everywhere".

WTB Concept Ship that delivers SC 3.0 upon purchase.
I'd be surprised if 3.0 were anything but artificially delayed to conviniently appear for Citizencon... >_> otherwise they'd really have to push it another couple months out, since they'd have to show some featurecreep on 3.0 during Citizencon to keep the Train going.

As for the Ship, they'll most likely abuse Citizencon to present another expensive Ship, knowing people would jump on it as they did with the Polaris.

I'm sure it's going more towards a Industrial-Ship rather than something like the Starliner etc.

I doubt they'd go for a Hull F or a bigger Orion, since I'd say they're pretty much "endgame".

I could see them conviniently forgetting the Endeavour and selling us a 150m~ Medical or Agricultural Ship.

Another Idea could be a "capital" Reclaimer to salvage large Ships, or a "capital" Crucible to repair them (look up La Vie En Rose from the Gundam Series).

Personally, I'd hope for the "Tug Boat" that many people have been asking for, but I doubt we'll see that for Citizencon.

As I see it, what would be truly game changing at this point, something we have yet to see, would be an ammo and missile resupply ship. With all the combat ships out there resupply of munitions would be a crucial role that we have not heard about.

Game Changer:
1. Tug Boat
2. QT Interdiction
3. Org HQ ship (introduces Interior Decorating System 1.0)
4. Assault Boarding vessel that is actually made to clamp on and blow the door
5. Mobile Home Delivery vessel for surface installations

These seem to be the consensus. After the 600i Pacer debacle, I'm not making any more guesses about what CIG has in mind about ships, but I'm hopeful that Ben Lesnick can stop another failure and put thing on track.
