Well, I wouldn't say it's necessarily a departure. We really don't have that many RSI ships in the game. We have the Aurora, we have the Bengal, and what's the third one?

Constellation.

And those are all very military-style ships. This one is a little bit sleeker. It was designed by a different person, Alex, one of our...

Yeah, we had him on the show last week.

Yeah, a really good guy. I like his stuff a lot. And I think it's kind of like a car manufacturer that builds different cars. They don't all look the same, but they do share certain features. So if you look within the Mantis, you will see similarities, or RSI language, so to say. The inside columns of the ship, for example, are very much like the ones on the Constellation. The front window even kind of echoes that language style. So I wouldn't say it's a departure, it's just a different ship in the series.

We've had conversations offline before. I'm a big fan of the visual look of the ship.

Chris Smith · Lead Artist

Yeah, I think it was pretty successful. The overall design language is very strong. It's well thought out. And I wouldn't be surprised if we see some echoes of the style in some of the medium to small ships, maybe even some of the bigger ones.
