Can you tell us what the next ship slated to be worked on is?
Jared Huckaby · Community Manager

We actually work on more than one ship at a time.

Ben Lesnick · Director of Community Engagement, Online Strategy and Spaceships

Yes, there's seven or eight in development at the same time right now, depending on which office you're at.

Jared Huckaby · Community Manager

So can we share which offices are working on which ships right now?

Ben Lesnick · Director of Community Engagement, Online Strategy and Spaceships

Well, that's what we did last week. No, we can. The Caterpillar is going on here: Gurmukh is concepting some interior stuff, and they're working on some design issues on that, Gurmukh and Calix. The Bengal is in active development over in the UK right now. That's taking a whole lot of resources. We've got the Reliant getting flight and hangar ready, here in LA. The Starfarer just finished up. In fact, that's another thing I did this week I forgot about: we did Starfarer tours. The UK was very proud of that. The Crucible is very, very, very early. I know they're doing the repair mechanics stuff, but I didn't know if they were actually doing the Crucible itself. I'm trying to think what else. The Xi'an Scout is finishing up its flight trials.

I saw some images. Chris Smith was working on the decals and the dirt overlays and stuff to make the skin of it much more textured. It looks very cool.

Austin has started back up on the Herald, I believe. And then a whole bunch of stuff in the UK, a lot of Squadron stuff. They're working on the Vanduul ships, the Scout. The constant edits to the Idris. We did see, last week on Friday, we do an internal studio show and tell where all the different teams submit their coolest stuff from the previous month, and our producer gets up and shows it all off, and Justin puts together a video. And so we saw some of the footage from the first multiplayer test theaters, and it looks really, really fun. It's just a huge moving FPS level. It is beautiful. And we're not trying to keep that stuff from you. In fact, we're trying to get clearance to release as many of those videos as we can. A lot of times it's cutscenes from Squadron and stuff we can't share. But there was some fun stuff in this one that I think Chris will let us show.
