Quick Rundown of the first week of ships.
This information comes from Inside Star Citizen posted yesterday on YouTube and the RSI website. It covers the first week of new and newly flyable ships that will be out at IAE
Additional information on the Syulen added/corrected with sale info

Gatac Syulen
This is an alien starter ship, This is priced at 65 Warbond and 70 credit but maybe higher or lower depending on Alien Tax. Sale for 72.50 USD (no tax) Warbond for a game package
The biggest change is how you land. You will land upright, instead of on your belly. Supposedly very maneuverable decent weapons, but it's not just another heavy fighter. I see this as a competitor to the Cutlass/Freelancer high end starters 300i level starters You will enter at the bottom and the cockpit is at the very top. Lots of GravLev stuff on this ship.
3xS3 weapons
12xS2 Missiles (unknown if bespoke racks or not)
2xS1 shield
6 SCU cargo

Tumbril Storm AA
Probably the LTI token of the event, this mini-tank will replace the gun with a large number of missiles. Supposedly, it will be able to deliver the largest amount of simultaneously launched missiles of any vehicle. I would expect this in the 50 70 dollar range

The SRV and Spirit C1 will also be flyable in 3.21.1 which came out yesterday. The SRV was not mentioned in the ISC video, but it will appear on Wed, Nov 22nd at the Argo Pavilion

The above pictures are snapshots off of ISC.
There is also a black and yellow paint for the ARGO SRV

No Longer only SPECULATION
We will also be seeing the RSI Arrastra ship at the end of the event. I would expect this to be the most expensive ship of the event in the 350-450 USD range.
There is also a possibility of a base building module for the RSI Galaxy, but they might hold off on this to give people another chance at an LTI Galaxy later on.

Arrastra
5 crew
On Board Refinery
Room for mining vehicles (at least 2)
cargo area…64 SCU - NOTE, they say vehicle bay holds 2 small vehicles, and the internal cargo holds 64 SCU of cargo. This MIGHT be the same bay, or it might be a two separate bays.
512 external storage. This is probably limited to raw and refined ores
3 mining lasers that move so that the pilot doesn't need to keep making small movements like the Mole
Mining lasers are on remote turrets
Center mount can be on the top or bottom of the ship and can be moved on a rail between positions.
3 Turrets for defense (quad S3)
This is a BIG ship at 116m long in landing configuration, and 124 meters when in flying configuration, so about the size of a Carrack. The inside will be more RSI like.

Nice Spoiler!
Though...
I would expect this in the 50 dollar range
...I go with your 50 $ and raise you by 45$.
just because it's a one-trick-pony doesn't mean it's gonna be cheap. :-P

Sorry, I mis-remembered what the storm cost originally. I think this will still be in the 70 dollar range, just like the initial vehicle was, maybe 75 with the ready to play attribute.

That ship is way too sexy to be a mining ship.
It's also pretty sexy AS a mining ship.
With that integrated refinery, ample storage and a garage too.
That thing is a gameloop to fly around in... :love:

Afterthought: I'm just glad it is not a Crusader design. It probably would fly a bit better but it would take up twice the space to add gigantic wings and endless round corridors. Just look at the picture of the C1 sitting between its competitors.
Now imagine a Crusader design sitting somewhere between the mole and the Arrastra feature-wise.
Bigger than a Hammerhead?
Or more like a Kraken?

This year has had some rather nice additions to the Verse vehicle catalog, in my opinion anyways. After this year's CitizenCon, I was hoping that CIG would have also added the construction Galaxy module for sale, but I guess they'll be holding that back until right before or right when they are ready to release base building into the Verse entirely.

Arrastra has 3 turrets with quad s3 weapons.
Hammerhead has 6 turrets with quad s4 weapons.
Like Hammerhead is obviously way stronger, but Arrastra is like a poor mans hammerhead on top of being a mining ship.

Wonder if this will mean that Orion will get a weapons buff as well, considering they're both RSI ships so Orion should be a direct upgrade.
