RSI Galaxy Incomming?

[littlej0e]

Assuming this is the previously leaked Galaxy?!? If so, then I also assume "revolutionary" actually means "hopefully modular at some point the future?"

Anyone have a clue? I certainly don't...

Yeah, the hologram model is already out.

I see. In that case, nothing to see here - move along....

Here's a video looking at the model from the game files that I posted in a different thread:

Why is everyone comparing it with the Carrack? I don't get it. (at least if the know leaks are just slightly accurate)

What's the spread on Galaxy pricing?

I'm assuming that I need to either A) mentally prepare myself to CCU something of value, or B) drink some number of beers to prepare my wallet in a bigger way.

Has to be more than a 600i, but less than a 890J

So I would say $500-$650?

It will be Less than the odyssey. Depending on cost of modules, etc, I expect it to be similar to Carrack pricing, maybe a bit less

I'm surprised to see this here. Didn't we come to understand this was an old design some employee at CIG leaked and there is no such ship planned for development? The design is old, and probably predates the Perseus. My guess is the Perseus is what was released instead of this.

 

[Sky Captain]

Aye, I thought the same at first. Thenl I saw speculation on the CIG forums that both may be true: An old design was leaked and an RSI concept (with newer design) will be released. We will see if this bears out. CIG has maintained an RSI ship sale on the IAE calendar, however.

Looking at it more closely now, I'd guess they aim the RSI Galaxy in the low $500s bracket between RSI Phoenix ($350) and Perseus ($675)? There are not many low-mid $500s ships in general. So this would fill a pricing niche. The next RSI warship is the Polaris ($750).

The post from a CIG staff member about an old design\concept being leaked was in a thread about the Cutter, which had included specifications and an image for an "Exploration" variant of that ship. Had they been referring to the Galaxy, it would seem more likely they would have responded in one of those threads instead, and given we did not see an Exploration variant (or any variant, for that matter) of the Cutter appear, it is quite likely their post had nothing to do with the galaxy at all.

Indeed the post from Zyloth was obviously about the Cutter, not the Galaxy.

The Galaxy is coming, it is real and it will have modularity.

Whitely's guide seems to have given a big hint that the Galaxy is indeed on the way with a hologram on display at IAE this year...

Indeed. I also loved the mini-troll at the beginning of the latest update; "the RSI Galaxy prototype didn't show..." Cheeky.

Thank you for pointing this out.. beat me to it :)

The Galaxy being put up for Concept sale on RSI day seems likely, but it meeting/exceeding what was in the leak isn't something I'd recommend anyone holding their breath over.

the jax clip from today starts by saying the RSI galaxy prototype didnt show, would be funny if it wasnt at the show at all.

If it turns out to be modular, I'm assuming the lower end of that spectrum. They will make up revenue by selling the modules. I'm guessing around $500 to $550.00 USD for the base model (cargo). No idea on the cost for the other modules. Based on past modules, they could run from $50.00 to $125.00. So getting a base model and the missing modules would be up to $700.00+. It will be a glorious day for RSI revenue.


Edit: if true ....
