aside from the "thing" under the ship being the wrong (and thus oversized) gun mount...

My first thought was bus - but I am open to being wrong.....

Just got my first M2 in the current game - I had forgot how nice the cockpit gravidar was.

Do I fight in it, run freight in it, have it run auto freight runs or have it on OOS dutys?

The shape to me dose not say combat vessel and with that thing under the front end. Not a standard TS or TP.

Could it be an emmiter for use in astroid mining.
Could it be a tractor beam or Enterprise style graple for tug duty.

Can I have one to find out. :?


Please.

I have already suggested the Tug ship so that can’t be correct.

I do hope it is not a cap ship of some sort if it is then its really bad for a cap ship.


Failing that idea I think it could be a new pirate transport ship. And yet again if failing to be that then maybe its a carrier and them tube things are launchers. Hope not tho.

Are all the screenshots going to be the same ship, from a slightly different angle?

The way I see it, I can be either the Express or a freighter. I tend to believe is the Express.

It is obvious that this ship isn't equipped to go into heavy battle, and the....item you can see underneath is a pair of guns, I'm sure of it, it is way too simplistic to be a smaller ship.

I think it's a Terran explorer ship - it doesn't seem to fit in easily to anything we know... definitely something to use the heavy stuff on (after all, we don't want the nosey, know it all, terrans taking over, do we?)

After looking at this ship and comparing it to other ships in screenshots for x3. This ship does look far less poly wise and even looks pooly designed except for the back maybe. The front is flat and weird as far as I can tell. The back makes no sence as to why it would be like that. And the weapon pods are far too big and should be tiny on that ship and far less obvious looking if its a big ship which by all acounts does look like it wil be big like a frigate shape.

Actually edit here and say that i zoomed in after incresing the resolution of the second image and i dunno but it seems it could be a small craft and them things are its engines. Or maybe there drones of some sort that can detactch and maybe part of the feature (multi threat targeting system". Just guess work of course with some ideas based on zoom up of the "weapon pods" shape.

I remember reading in some interview about a new ship that manufactures its own ships on the go and uses those for combat...?

It's a military argon transport. The civil version has windows and smaller guns. TP class.

I's transporting gunnery crews and other military personnel, which we can hire.

It's too easy to capture them in X2!
