What is the status of the Banu Merchantman?

TL;DRThe Banu Merchantman is back in concept, larger but in the same landing pad size category with its cargo unchanged; more should only be seen once active development starts, which won't be soon.

It's in concept again. Anyone that's a BMM fan knows that the concepts were quite different depending on which version you saw. So it's bringing them all in line, making everything fit in it. It has got bigger, but it has not gone up a landing pad size, so it's still in the same size category. It still has the same amount of cargo as it was concepted with, so we've not cut the cargo. And we're working on the interior to bring all the stuff we learned from the Defender inside.

Concepts for the interior. And folks, as far as when you can expect to see that, I would say when the Banu Merchantman actually begins active development, when things actually start being built, is probably the next time you can expect to see some of that stuff. It's not going to be soon. Just put it that way.
