Obviously the Xi'an ships will utilize the six-degree flight model more than others. What can you tell us about the [alien] ships, like the Prowler and the Defender? Are those still going to be more maneuverable than human ships, because they kind of seem main-centric?

Yeah, they're mostly main-centric. The Vanduul stuff is very similar to human-created stuff. The Prowler I expect to handle quite differently, just because the Tevarin are very different in their technology. It's not going to be full strafe power like the Xi'an stuff, but it will be sort of different, I guess is the best way to describe it. The Banu are scavengers, so they steal and incorporate stuff wherever possible. So the Defender actually has Xi'an engines and Xi'an maneuvering thrusters. So whilst it's in a more main-centric layout, they do have different engines. So it will handle a little differently, but it's not suddenly going to be 6DoF.
