The Anvil Crucible (Repair Ship) looks to be getting a Concept Update that could then see it go thru the pipeline all the way to completion, that concept work starts October and goes into Feb 2023 but then there will be a whole host of other work from multiple teams before it’s complete which aren’t scheduled yet. Again once CI work on a ship now they like to try and schedule the time in to get them all the way thru the pipeline where possible… tho we will still see concept sales and sometimes things will get reprioritized half way thru somethings development. The Aopoa San’Tok Yai or Xi’an Medium Fighter is getting some work done starting Jan 2023 from the US Vehicle Content Team that goes into June, this looks to me like CI will get the ship out at some point in 2023. You want a Luxury version of the Ursa Rover… well the Lynx has worked planned on it ending Feb 2023… The Origin X-1 luxury hover bike has been getting some love and various teams are working on it into June 2023… It shouldn’t be too hard to get into the game, we already have a few hover vehicles and bikes and it’s small. Last time they showed off the merchantman we saw the exterior from a better less duckfaced angle as well as some of the interior of the ship, social areas with a shrine room, a small hangar bay, cargo area, private meeting room, lift network… its such a massive floating marketplace and is getting the dedicated focus it deserves. The Banu Merchantman is in active development currently and is receiving work for a whole host of teams, current work goes into June 2023 and it looks like CI want to release the ship that year. We also know that CI are very close to releasing the Hull-C again as the Cargo refactor is a big part of 3.18 it makes sense that CI want it out with the patch or soon after again more likely in 3.19 just due to the amount of content and ships already part of the 3.18 cycle and the fact that work is schedule for the ship going into December of this year. Work on vehicle tractor beams goes on into June 2023… but it’s possible an early implementation might be tested before that? As work is scheduled on the Progress Tracker into Feb 2023. It’s more likely something for 3.19 tho imo. We know that CI have been working on ship scale tractor beams and larger cargo containers so getting the SRV in game would be sensible for that. Discover the latest vehicles throughout the pipeline, from concept to newly flyable and a new twist to this year’s voting on a new ship to come.ĬIG have also teased a New Argo Ship OR Argo SRV… either would make sense… more Argo cargo and utility ships would be useful especially with the Cargo Refactor planned for 3.18. TALKING SHIP 2952 – Our annual presentation from the ship teams. In fact there is a Ship Focused panel at CitizenCon on the 8th of October. We know that CI are working on some unannounced ships and vehicles some of which will be unveiled between CitizenCon and the IAE… it’s likely that it will be a mixture of concept and straight to flyable too. I am expecting to see this used for missions, looting and salvage (removing components). This will primarily include the ability to free-form cut on specific surfaces. The continued development of the existing Multi-Tool technology will allow players to cut through specific objects. This will use the grinder systems aboard salvage ships like the Vulture and Reclaimer.Ĭutting T-2 is planned to wrap up in May 2023 – updating the cutting feature for the multi-tool that will be used in future location and mission updates. Salvage will be evolving from that tho… Vehicle Munching which will be the next stage to salvage’s gameplay & is getting work that will start in October and go into June 2023… giving you to the ability to transform large chunks of metal salvaged from ships into a refinable material. We also have the Drake Vulture which is that small salvage ship that will come with hull stripping salvage along with the reclaimer in 3.18… however… I am a little concerned that it might not have any suitable medical facilities… tho that might of changed thru it’s development OR it might be more suitable for shorter range scanning, exploration and surveying rather than being an expedition ship. This highly anticipated asymmetrical no frills multi-crew exploration ship is very popular and was a bit of a surprise to me that it was going to be ready in 3.18. The Drake Corsair is now planned for release with the alpha 3.18 patch.
