So how about that new ship?

One one hand, yay CONCORD! Also, it has a spinny bit. Whee!

On the other, checked it out on SiSi and it's less sexy than it looks in the devblag. Although that may have something to do with the fact that my graphics settings are at minimum.

It looks like a Borg ship.  :|  From that episode of TNG where Hugh returned, with Lore and his "emo chip".

I'm so very, very depressed now.

It actually looks like a spaceship, if you want my opinion.

So it's a shuttle with a hacking mod bonus?

i have no real sense of scale

I assume that the little pod thing that you see on the right of the picture (left of the ship), is a thing to hold a captive True Slave, to "assist" with codebreaking and stuff.

Or maybe that's what's inside the green glass domes. :o

This ship just became 1000x awesomer.

I haven't seen it on Sisi yet, but I intend to get a whole passel of them for Casi.

Also, here's hoping this leads to something similar like happened with the Primae -> Noctis creation. (Sex jokes aside.)

The more I look at the concept art, the more its starting to grow on me because for some reason, it reminds me of the days of Gundam 0083.

That being said, it's still a hacking shuttle. >>

In all honesty, a CONCORD frig should be combat-oriented, a bit overpowered, and require all 4 racial frig skills to level 4 to be flown.

This should have been a gift from SoE really.....but oh well.....what strikes me as odd, is the amarr racial frig skills as requirement.

What a surprise.

Which is double-plus odd given the lack of the Amarr design aesthetic in any way in this ship. The other CONCORD ships in the game have elements of all four empires incorporated into their design, and here you can see the Caldari grey blockiness, the Gallente green curvy glass, and a little bit of the Minmatar conduits and tubing and orange lights. But no Amarriannitude at all.

Victor raised an eyebrow. The Sansha were always a prime surveillance and acquisition interest for Imperial intelligence. Their advances in cybernetic technology provided the live realization for the kinds of medical experiments that Amarrian scientists could only dream of. The Sansha have long known that they were being watched, and that errant ships had been captured and dissected by Victor's own men from time to time. He wondered if the Empire would be blamed for the destruction of one of their worlds.
