What about the Redeemer?

To be honest, it's not really a priority for us this year. We know it's a super popular ship. Obviously, it came out of The Next Great Starship. Big fan favorite, but it's not where we need it to be. It has a lot of design problems, and it's not needed in the PU this year. It's not needed in Squadron this year. We have ships that we need more coming, and it's prioritized appropriately. We know what we want to do with it. Just to quickly go over some of the design issues with it: there's the mystery ghost train turret, where you sit in a seat and you go outside into space to get into the turret. It's a dropship that holds six people, which is not particularly fantastic. It's got lots of tight, twisty spaces that just aren't in metric. So bringing all that together is a fairly hefty rework. And we've got two ideas internally where we want to go with it. It is half a gunship, half a dropship as it is. And basically we're looking at those two avenues of just going full gunship or full dropship. At the moment, we're leaning more towards the gunship side. We've got other dropships that are better dropships than it, but we don't have that AC-130 style gunship that I think a lot of people would like.

Now, let's clarify that for a second. We explore lots of ideas. We have lots of conversations. We consider doing this. It doesn't mean that's necessarily what's going to happen. The decision has not been made to make it a gunship. The decision has not been made to make it solely a dropship. It's a conversation that has to happen. This was a ship that was made by backers, and like I said, outside of the metrics we had, and then we've changed the metrics since then. So it does need a lot of work. And there will be some changes to it when its time does come, but it's not its time yet.

It's bubbling away in the background.
