For those that chose to not open the spoiler, the non-spoiler is, there will be jpegs of some sort in various designs that some might find appealing enough to spend money on adding to their account.

A truly eloquent explanation my friend, worthy of a shot

I LOVE JPEGS!

 

[AccidentProne8]

I'm not seeing the one I want. I'M NOT SEEING IT.

 

[Bambooza]

If that list is true my wallet be scared.

 

[LurchLord]

A few of the ships in my way too big fleet are a little scared, since one or two are likely to fall victim to "No money 'till Terra" and be ccu'd into something else.

#1 on the spoiler list is a pretty much guaranteed replacement for a role equal ship in my fleet simply because come on, how could it not be.

Other that that? My wallet has bled enough, it is safe for the next 2 years at least.

 

[Daak Gelrin]

Will acquire one or two of the three not currently in the fleet. I love to try out new things. Will they be fit to keep in my fleet? /shrug

 

[AccidentProne8]

I might actually be interested in an old ship, debating melting my sabre and spirit to CCU my eclipse to an Aquila to an Anvil Liberator. It says crew of 1-2 so.... Personal mini carrier with an AI blade?

 

[Daak Gelrin]

I've had one sitting there since concept that I can't wait for.

 

[Mudhawk]

Hmmm...

Crusader Interpid

Sounds perfect for our Squardon...

 

[AccidentProne8]

I'm a sucker for carriers and large engines!

Starlancer MAX

Maybe the Starlancer BLD in addition to the MAX? The MAX is already in my hangar.

It seems CIG has a number of 'coming-soon' ships available. The latest I read about are Argo CSV-FM variant, Graycat CAV, RSI Zeus MR, Crusader Intrepid, Anvil Hornet Mk II variants, Anvil Terrapin medical variant, MISC Fortune, MIRAI Guardian, MISC Starlancer BLD variant, more Titan Suits (ATLS iterations), an Anvil 6+ wheeled armored vehicle with a turret on top, and RSI Polaris changes.

Whether these will make an IAE appearance I cannot say.

Is there also rumor of an Anvil capital ship?

It seems that CIG has a number of coming-soon ships on deck to choose from for an IAE release: These might include the Argo CSV-FM, Graycat CAV, RSI Zeus MR, Crusader Intrepid, Anvil Hornet Mk II variants, Anvil Terrapin medical variant, MISC Fortune, MIRAI Guardian, MISC Starlancer BLD, more Titan Suits (ATLS iterations), an Anvil 6+ wheeled armored vehiicle with a turret on top, and RSI Polaris changes. Whether these will make an IAE appearance I cannot say.

Is there also rumor of an Anvil capital ship?

Yes, I've heard several rumors of a capital sized battleship from Anvil, though there have been no details. The only thing that I have to go on that supports this, doesn't list Anvil specifically, but is listed in the initial funding goals list.

$17,000,000
Read chairman's letter

• Every pledger who backs before $17 million will receive a ship upgrade package containing an engine modifier.
• Star Citizen will feature an additional flyable ship class, the battlecruiser.

The Anvil Anvil?

 

[Aramsolari]

The Anvil Anvil?

The Anvil Boaty McBattlecruiserface.

 

[Shadow Reaper]

So is this between the sizes of the Javelin and Bengal, or larger than the Bengal? I was under the impression the Bengal was to be the largest flyable ship.

I suspect that it's probably somewhere around Jav size or between Jav & Idris size, but with a name like that, I believe that it'll have less guns than the Jav, but they'll probably be larger than the turrets. Maybe reduce the the amount of Jave turrets by 1/4, but raise their size by 2?

A long video but Tree0311 makes a solid, Lore-based case for what the Anvil cap ship (that was teased years at an IAE) could be -

That takes me back to my first days in this "game".
Back then every million got a celebration and a feature unlock.
But seeing that old Origin 300i design again!
We did come far, didn't we?
(still waiting for that Preacher Armament Inquisition XXII Gatling though)

But now to something comletely different, like the actual point.
Why not go the extra mile CIG and add that Anvil capital ship worthy of a messer'ed-up space-empire?
Something big and impressive and with capacity for flights of fighters, a couple of walkers, a legion of white clad henchmen and some nice orbital bombardment ordnance.
You know, just hat would be needed to invade a rebellious sub-org's planet.
It's not like we're asking for a deathstar.
Though if you're offering...
