Nearly confirmed to be a Capital Ship now. From the Concierge forum:
And this!
Aegis Announcement Predictions? - Capital Ship ALMOST confirmed - Find out in August :(
- Thread starter Black Sunder
- Start date
Do we need to? 1) if its bigger than the Javelin we probably cant buy it. 2) If its smaller im sure we will have several grab it.

It's a corvette built around a S10 spinal mount particle beam cannon, 2 S6 fix forward mount ballistic cannons, 2 remote dual S3 turrets, 2 manned dual S4 turrets, 4 S4 missile racks.

What @Black Sunder said.
I do not believe it will be Idris or Larger, leaving Corvette.
the Sneak Peak art showed Remote Turret controls, like those seen in the Valkyrie.
Of the Corvette scale ships we have,
Hammerhead (Dedicated anti-fighter)
Polaris (Dedicated Torpedo)
Pioneer (Hab building), Kraken (carrier)
Orion (mining)
Carrack (Exploration)
Reclaimer (Salvage).
With Aegis, I have every expectation(lorewise) they would be the ones to take the big gun off an Idris and build a ship "around" it. They leave off the Hangar, saving size and space, for the same Power plant, shield, drives.
just enough turrets to make a casual threat think twice.
likely built with the Vanguard ideal of redundancy in place to maintain battle worthiness of the main gun for as long as possible.
The easiest way to encounter "flying saucers" is to provoke somebody while they happen to be hand washing a sink with them soaking within. If you don't duck, you'll learn that those things are never friendly while quickly flying right at your face. I know from personal experiences learned the hard way.
'Tis the will of the members of TEST.
A new cap ship launches before too long we are all like "Yeah, i'll throw $10 in" and before you know it we've got one.

This is where I've not been in a Reclaimer enough to say. I didn't remember it having side-by-side cockpit seating.
above the left seat is a Hammerhead style overhead display console.
the right seat, could be the angle, does not seem to have the same console.

Look up a walkthrough video. 100% a Reclaimer.
Oh.
Wouldn't that be the wretched Vulcan and it's heinous Drone Pods then?
EDIT - I've just looked at the New Wave email and I can't see it saying "Sneak Peek" all it says is "The First Wave begins to form".
EDIT - EDIT - Okay, just looked at a tour of the Reclaimer on Youtube and it seems to be the Reclaimers tractor beam stations:
