Wow! Those are unexpected and cool new features.

/me goes off to play.

FYI, the proximity warning currently subverts the whole radar distance limitation in storms. We'll be fixing that next week (prox will function under your sensor limitations).

Two questions:

1. Could anyone post a link to the new wraith, as I can't for about 24 hours get ingame?

2. Inc, in the news you mention getting a lot closer to your goals of 1.8. Any hints as to what these are? I know we've all got a general idea of where you're all heading, but as Whistler said this was a very unexpected (yet awesome! I love the sound of these updates!) surprise, so I'm curious as to what else you've got up your sleeve

Smittens: Yes, a lot more information on what we're planning is going to become public in the near future. And not Soon(tm), but perhaps next week. We'll see.

Thanks Inc and Miharu!

woohoo we're getting addons soon!

Oh my, storms sound interesting now. Now if only it wasn't so bloody easy to plot around them :)

I dub the new ship 'Nanny'.

Reven. Reven sounds cooler.

"Nant."

bsh, just call it a rev and be done with it. sheesh :P

There's already the Rev C >.>

Nanny or Nant has my vote. :D

I had thought of 'Reven' and 'Rev', too. But 'Reven' is 'just' a mutilation; I am aware that Nanny is not much more, but it has a nicer ring to it. 'Rev' is out, for exactly the reasons given by Spaceranger: the closeness to the RevC.

Why I thought 'Nanny' would be nice:

For one thing, I thought of Hoax' post about the Annie Atlas. Sorry for just ripping off your intellectual property, Hoax, but it's for a good thing!

And then I thought that maybe it would be fun to have a name that has a cozy and caring connotation for the first 'real' ship most people are ever going to fly.

Also, I thought of the Constellation ('Connie') and felt that it might be a good idea to continue that train of thought. You could even have a connie with a flock of nannies in her wake, ducklings following the mother...

my 0.02 The Rent

Nant

I wonder if they are adding a storm generator and a storm disruptor as large port weapons!
