Can you confirm that the [Banu Merchantman] is actually getting bigger?
TL;DRHuckaby confirms the Merchantman is getting significantly larger, roughly Polaris-sized and smaller than an Idris, though the exact size won't be known until it is built.
I'm afraid I can't say much about that at the moment.
Well, I was prepared. I actually had a chat with John Crewe and Todd Papy before the show, just in case you didn't have the answer. So I actually do have the answer. The answer is yes. The Merchantman is getting larger. It is getting significantly larger. It is not as big as you see in those images. It's not bigger than an Idris. For instance, there was one image where somebody was doing some fantastic geometry in there and figuring out that the scale in one of the images had it as big as a Javelin. It is not that big. It is not as big or bigger than the Idris. Obviously, we won't know precisely how big it will be until we start building it, but think somewhere along the lines of the Polaris as far as size. It is a very large ship. And internally, we're beginning to think of it as a Banu-style capital ship. So yes, it is getting very large. We won't know precisely how large until it comes time to build it. And when are we going to build it? We have our production schedule up on the website now. You can see precisely where that ship is going.
