What are the next ships expected to hit hangar ready?asked by Daz

TL;DRAs far as he knows, the Reliant is next in the hangar, then the Caterpillar further down the line, then the Herald, which he says is a safe bet for later this year.

So I'm going to try my best to answer that question for things I kind of know, right because I know people always want to have answers for when things are going to come out and stuff like that.In general as far as my knowledge goes. The Reliant is going to be the ship that's going to be coming up in the hangar next which is my favourite small ship and the Reliant is just so cool. Concepted by David Hoppins and it was passed over to Elwin and Dan Kamentsky and the ship team here to flesh out that ship and they just did an awesome job and it's so cool looking, it's a super... the way that it flies and like the cockpit turns and it's just going to be super cool and I can't wait to get that in the hangar and even more that's just going to be so like, I'm gonna want to fly it as soon as I see it in the hangar and just bust through the hangar doors and I'm going to have to stare at it for awhile, but I can't wait to fly that thing.Then next up I think is probably going to be, and we're talking more down the line, we're not talking tomorrow, we're talking down the line, will be the Caterpillar which is also a super awesome ship and it's one of the first ships that's going to be from an art direction standpoint, is a little different because it's built very... it's chunky, but it's kind of used parts, it has like elements of it that are almost like painted on top paint and they're just welding metal on top of wiring and stuff and it's not just perfectly encased and built, its kind of been welded together and just taken parts that they had and built on it. So it has this very cool industrial kind of...

Look, right? And it's just super cool looking. Things are exposed and it's just kind of heavy and you're like I couldn't even lift one of these panels off the wall, it's too heavy, it's not just made out of that slick material and so it is just cool looking. I've seen lots of shots of what that looks like inside, in the game already and so that's super cool.

I haven't seen those, why haven't you shown me?

Then we'll take a look at this afterwards, sorry about that.

Further down the road, even further, further is going to be the Herald. That will be Later this year and I think that's okay to say, it's a safe bet. Later down this year and that's being worked on also in Austin by Josh. So that's going to be... I'm excited about that ship as well because that's definitely a little different, it's kind of a little more interesting looking, it has little satalite things that pop out so Josh Coons is no doubt making that thing amazing. Hopefully that answers that question.

That's good, good thorough answer.
