We just saw the destroyed Javelin. Any chance of seeing the Javelin in its normal state sometime soon?

TL;DRThe Javelin is nearly done, with two interior areas left (one significant) before final detail and optimization, but showing it is up to Chris Roberts.

Ask the big boss. The big boss being Chris. He was here this week, actually, and we went over the ship. There are two internal areas left to do. One of them is fairly significant: it's the cargo bay. The ship has been designed really well, actually. It's been designed how I'd expect it to be. So the sub-decks are engineering, the mid deck is all habitation and the top deck is all technical. So you've got this beautiful separation on each of the decks. We've got this lift at the front of the ship, and there's obviously a lift at the back to balance the internal route out. But we've done a really nice little touch at the front where there's a very thick glass panel, and you've got these two forks at the front of the Javelin going away. So I said to the guy, when you're in this lift, I want to feel like I'm looking down Fifth Avenue, these huge structures going away from you. So it's quite cool. There are a lot of cool little touches going into it. There are two main areas left to get to what we call LOD0. And once LOD0 is done, it's a case of going through your profile and optimizing it. And then she's ready. Turrets are done, thrusters are done, bodies are done. It's all there. And I want to share it. It's just when the boss is happy to.
