See how much more fun it is when the devs post blurry, dark images, rather than purty bright ones? :P

kinda looks like a kilrathi destroyer from Wing commander 3. maybe they took my advice and realized that kilrathi sell space games!

You all forgot one VERY IMPORTANT factor... we are all upside-down:

Heh, at first I was thinking "Heh....RelayeR is just bitter..." but then I took a closer look...arrgh. We need some clarity, dernit!

Lets see some screenies!

You also need to consider the appearance of the "Trident", Harry.

I can already see these ships as massive war vessels, if multiple people can man em, they'll be used by guilds and like minded patriots of their nations. If only single player controlled, well, they'll be many of these floating around. =D

When you toy a bit with some filters in photochop you get something that looks closer to an already existing model:

Best cleanup I could do in a few minutes...

Soft Filtering/noise reduction:

inverted for contrast:

it looks somehow familiar...

appears to have swept-back wings with two engines on each (in an above/below-wing configuarion at the wingtips, with curved sheilding around the outside of them) and a lateral projection on either side of the fuselage (similar to the air intake of an F-15)

Judging by the size of the double canopy (if that's what it is), I don't know if I'd call it capital-class... but certianly a medium ship larger than anything currently in-game.

EDIT: Roguelazer: how do I drop a couple of them into the post?

Mouser...you do the most incredible work...

I want the gremlin/pinto/whatever...

Imagine all the groceries we could haul in that baby!

Looks like a two-seater at the least.

And yeah, you turn it upside down and it kinda makes more sense.

*hugs his TPG faction*

Hmmm, the moth was a new TPG ship, but it isnt exclusive to TPG, infact, dont TPG produce most ships? (moth, standard centaur, wraith ect) ?

But I do have to repost an earlier comment, wow, its actually looks like a space ship from space, and not a space ship from warner bro! (well, the blurry image probably doesnt do it any justice, but hey, i'll wait the 6+ months to see it inagme)

Consider the carrot dangle succesfull :P

FSNI, it's a PinTPG

The PinTPG is great for traders...you get a pie-rat on your 6 and *F*O*O*M* light up the exploding rear fuel tank!

bye-bye pie-rat!

Harry's render reminds me of a chopper version of the Last Starfighter.

My take on it:
