Here's about as much as I've been able to extract through sharpening, brightness and contrast changes.


And here's one with some additional changes:


There's really not enough detail, though.

sooo- i think the devs should have gone for the honorable mention ship (rotflmao)
- big question- is this just a ship so TPG can compete in cap ship battles- or will we REALLY have the opportunity to purchase/lease one of these bad boys-
with approved credit of course

The big question is when will we get this new ship?

Next week?
Next month?
Total vaporware?

Enquiring minds want to know......

Making an image and some info available usually means it will be here Really Soon ™.

Do I need a special license to fly that thing? Like a commercial or heavy duty combat carrier certification.

Where is it going to dock? Look out for space buoys.

[IA] Deep Blue image analysis has discovered the owners of the mysterious vessel. Using several layers of filtering, we have uncovered a disturbing anomaly.



Yessir. That's right. Now there are TWO of them. And they've got a large warship. Red Alert!

Here's a quick blender mockup I made based on the data that I could extract with some edge-finding algorithms from one of my images:

I'm probably way off, but that's what I came up with so far.

Wait, this isn't a hoax? But it was posted by the King of Deception, Lord of Lies, etc!

roguelazer: hum, it may, and it may not. But, from the perspective of wanting to have greater cockpit visibilty, as well as it being a larger ship, yes. However, both are perfectly feasible, and given the 'looks' of the Valkyrie, you could very well be correct.
