That's a really cool tidbit I didn't know! He does do amazing art, glad we had him onboard for these ships!
I gotta print out that ornithopter, I fell in love with thing on first sight! Already have the files, it's just so many parts to arrange lol...

I recently did the lost reclaimer "horror" mission for the first time, and it was awesome! A truly different experience, probably in large parts thanks to his designs and the inclusion of the Alien messhall. I was shitting my pants the whole way through and loved every minute of it, even though I generally dislike horror games.

yeah his art sold me on the reclaimer years ago.

The Reclaimer is like having a bit of an Aliens spaceship in your own possession...

...now, if we could only get talking raccoons in Star Citizen...

Which mission is that? I'm assuming NOT the Ghost Hollow illegal occupants one. . .

So he did the Orion and Reclaimer, but not the Hull series? Why are they confusing us like this?!?!?

Nope, never had that one.

It's called Failed Negotiations.
No idea why I got it, it just popped up. I did a bunch of "find missing crewmember" missions though, maybe that triggers it?

Thank you I was interested in the name of the mission myself.

If I get a reclaimer, I will have to admit that I spent waaay too much on this game.

As much as I wanted the reclaimed I couldn't justify buying it when I had no interest in salvage. Now the Orion is a treasured jpeg.

Love his work. The Reclaimer's looks are jaw-dropping. I was hooked when I ran around it in the IAE show hall last year. So, yes, guilty of spending waaay too much on this game:

I am so looking forward to real salvage gameplay using it - more than the hull-scraping coming in 3.18 - that's just an appetizer.

No prizes for guessing that somewhere out there in the black, there are already Reclaimers named:
Nom,
Nom Nom,
Nom Nom Nom,
Nom Nom Nom Nom,
Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom, and
Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom

Damn... now I wanna buy one just to check if I can name it like that...
Hmmm... how about: The Nom-Nom-stromo ?
