Was watching Lots of ship talk when they said the Galaxy is coming out at next year's IAE. Which got me curious as to how many ships were still in concept purgatory. And with the Galaxy coming out next year, that only leaves for my hanger the Ranger and Orion. Which, honestly, is a reality I was not sure I would ever see, and when looking over the entire ship catalog, there are only 30 concept ships left in total.

Are we nearing the end?

Well they're only focus'd RSI and they've got plenty of those to do still - hopefully my Arrista next year.

They've got a metric ton of others to do after RSI. Still a few years worth.

Though all said they are pumping them out much faster than before! Fingers crossed.

This short vid might answer your question.

I feel like with the introduction of mashup ships like the Shiv, they are intentionally pivoting away from all-new ships, at least in part, and moving more resources into to refactoring old ones and finishing up concepts. So yes, I think we are nearing the end, only 2-3 more years till BMM lol

The Ship Team more than doubled in size. I've not seen numbers recently but something like from 25 people to 60 iirc. Each studio has a team and they are ALL working it hard.

RSI, Drake and CNOU all have big ships in work, the BMM looks to be moving back into production, Origin and Kruger have new ones on the way.. with "27 ships due in 2026" they've got to have a lot more artists on it than at any time in the past.

So the likely answer to your question is NOPE. Nowhere near anything resembling an 'end', not even regarding backer spending!!

Ya, I can see the mistake in the thought process, and for that I am sorry. I was more just being cheeky in saying that the backlog of known sold concept ships has significantly dwindled from a few years ago, not that they are done crafting new ships.

Seems that Space Tomato was having the same thought.

Hearing that Galaxy is the 'big ship' of next IAE was a bit disappointing, since they're supposedly working on Pioneer and Kraken as well. Well, the work on Pioneer seems to have stalled. Probably waiting for base building to be fleshed out more.

But hearing that Railen is coming out next year is welcome news, particularly since that one guy who makes visuals about unreleased concepts was guessing we wouldn't be getting Railen and a bunch of other ships even in 1.0 because they weren't listed in that 1.0 presentation slide a couple years back.

This image isn't quite up to date, the guy hasn't made the next one, but it's a pretty cool visual nevertheless. Paladin, Perseus and Apollo's have obviously been released, Hull B, the Iron Clads, Kraken and the Liberator are currently being worked on, and Galaxy, Railen have been mentioned to release next year... did I miss anything? Got my hands full of baby atm so just listing them ship statuses off the top of my head

IIRC, when the Pioneer concept was revealed, CIG said we wouldn’t see it until 1.0. That makes sense given we’re waiting on 100+ worlds, so starting on settlements is a bit premature.

That's nice - where is it from (and who made it)? I didn't see a username or URL on the image, maybe I missed it.

Oh, I could've sworn there was signature somewhere on the image. Huh, guess not.
Anyhow, it's u/ludwiglouton (reddit)
