The Polaris had its full interior concept work done. We figured out the full layout. It's all there. It's all ready. We figured out the metrics for everything, what needs to go in. There's been some changes to the actual Polaris' loadout, but I'm not going to say more because, once again, we're not ready to show it right now, but there's been some updates to bring it up to scratch with everything else, similar to when the Merchantman had its revisit when we brought it up to the standards there are now. But I don't think now is the time to actually go into detail about it. But it's had some significant changes to bring it up to where it needs to be. I mean, as far as the concept goes, if I remember correctly, it's ready for development when we can find a slot, if I remember right.

Pretty much, yeah. I think one biggish thing to talk about on it was the original concept for it. The hangar was not quite to any of the hangar metrics, and now it is. So much like the Odyssey, it has a proper to-metric hangar, so it can fit a much larger range of ships in there. As much fun as it was watching everyone on Reddit and Spectrum getting Photoshop out and deciding what ships can fit in there, it is a proper size now, so it should remove that. And that actually got a little bigger. We always make things bigger, but it's not gigantic.

When it comes to things getting bigger, I suppose I could say that it does have its capital shield generator in it now, because it did get some component increases as well, because that's one people are probably very curious about with it. So it has had its power plant, cooler and shield generator bumped up to capital level.

And when it does go into active development, which is when we assign 3D artists to actually start building it, that's when we'll begin to showcase it on Inside Star Citizen. You'll start to see some of this reconcepting work and all that. So again, it's had some recent work reconcepting, but it is still not in active development. So there won't be any new updates to give you until that time comes, until it crosses that line that the Banu Merchantman just crossed.
