I always thought it would be better for game play if they just introduced some of the elements from Altered Carbon like sleeving and cybernetic enhancements. Would also explain the ability to Agent Smith.
New Medical ship?

So this is pretty interesting. Is this going to be an ambulance ship or a respawn point ship?
The Cutlass Red is the current ambulance with the Endeavor Hope Class being the respawn point ship. Don't think its going to be a respawn point ship since that would mean it would have to be pretty large and have its own hangar to accommodate newly-respawned players taking starter ships and leaving the medical ship (at that point its role would be too similar to Endeavor).
Thoughts?

mmmm Beer. And to think in before that pesky owl drinks it all.
As for the size of ship I have a feeling its going to be mid size something around the constellation to 600 size allowing medical treatment for injured players given what they said about the sim packs only giving a temp health boost not fixing the issue. So while it will not allow for respawning/cloning it would allow players to get back to full health. Something not currently covered by the current ambulance and future implementation of med packs.

Meh who cares you'll need more than a Medic once I've finished with you!!!
I aint buying any fancy new ships until they deliver on ships bought years ago. Given the pride of my fleet is the BMM and Carrack looks like I will never be buying another ship again! :S

Perhaps they will be introducing a 'Hangover Ship' since there are soooo many beer drinkers in the game!

Last I heard on this subject, the NPCs could outshoot the AI for intelligent turrets and PCs could outshoot the NPCs. That sounds like it is over if they can have skills to hit at 95%. This should be considered a huge game changer--very close to pay-to-win. Not sure I love it but I'd pay a whole crew for the Polaris, no doubt! Get just 4 guys for bridge crew and what a panic that would be.
It depends on if they give the npc the ability to hit at 95%. They can "easily" go into their subsumption system and change that spread from 1.01 to 1.02 and they will only 85%. (random numbers).
Also i highly doubt that game ai will be that good that it will have real "good" decision making. And depending on the managment freedom they will give us flying your ship and telling your ai what they should do will be a hell of micromanagment, which could be easily solved by yelling at your human comrade "repair this fucking shield generator and then get your ass inside that turret back".
How many years is the gaming industry telling us that this "AI will blow our mind"?
So do we want to have NPC in our Hammerhead turrets? Probably yes
Do we want to have them as our first officier? probably no
If this thing is cheap enough I will scrap some of my ships for it... I honestly kinda want to run a space hospital. That and I am really hoping for a data running ship larger than the Herald. That would be great. Speaking of which, anyone have an LTI reliant mako in their buyback lol?
The 95% comment was from Papy in the video, in response to a player question about NPC's compared with human players. His response was, they can already hit with 95-96% accuracy. But you're right, all they need to do to affect that is change some variables.
Apparently it's called the RSI Apollo. Might just be my next ship!
Have they launched the concept sale yet? Or is it just a teaser?
Supposedly it's launching tomorrow. No news of a pre-sale that I have seen. I hope it's not too much $$$ or else I might have pass this time...
Found this image floating around:
My guess is RSI, since it seems to resemble a somewhat stripped-down connie.

Yeah, it was shown at the end of AtV today. So far I am intrigued. The shape sort of makes me think of a Terrapin mixed with a Constellation.
I agree, most likely it'll be a step down from the endeavor with that 100% medical focus. I'm guessing it'll be anywhere from $100-$200? But that's low-balling it considering how pricey concepts can be.
