Yesterday at 16:39 CEST, a NS1 observation drone discovered a new ship. The drone was destroyed 30 seconds after the first contact.
The amount of data the drone was able to tansfer is very low.

All we know is that the ship had a top speed of 240 m/s, and it had 4 small port weapons equipped. Its lenght is 18m.

Our scientists working 24/7 to get more information about the ship.

This fact seems to disturb the trading business in Odia and the surrounding systems.
The long-range channels are almost overloaded.
All Nations are forcing their traders to leave this systems in groups, the Itani Nation has send nearly 50 Heavy Fighters to escort the traders out. So did the secro nation.

Some rumours say that there are hostilities in Odia/M-14 between the serco and the itani forces.

Many traders believe that this is a Prototype of a new Corvus ship.
Corvus has ordered a lot of scrap metal and prototypes during the last week. The Corvus stronghold refused to make a statement.

We advise anyone out there to be carefull. The real strength, hull and firepower of this ship are unknown.

Things like this are what we are striving for. We want exploration to be a fun and interesting activity.

Ooo, you should get a bunch of player-made models (with copyrights transferred to you), and integrate them into missions like this! :D

Nice images AgY!

Oh and Serconian scientists operating undercover inside NT Controlled Space have noted this vessel appears to be alien influenced, noting the metallic hull, and lack of an obvious cockpit/command bridge :P

Liked the story though, that'd be a great way to give a semi description of existing vessels, similar to the way Escape Velocity does which adds a little interest to the craft, and also a firm idea behind it rather than just speculation about it.

Pyroman...

HOW many TIMES do we have to tell you...

You don't get Serconian from "Serco"! It's SERCO scientists not serconian! You're pulling words out of your ass!

Celkan.. are you sure he's pulling them out of his ass? that's an awful big word you know...

Cool ship. looks like the furie sorta kinda

oops. I think I'm the one who's been pulling "serconian" out of my... yea.

Here is a screen of the 'current' version.
