Connie owners, PUT ON YOUR TINFOIL!!!
« on: August 07, 2014, 01:00:48 PM »
The names and images of connie variants have been announced:



By initial look/name I'm going to wager that Taurus is the cargo ship and Phoenix is a combat oriented ship. I think Andromeda would be an exploration model since it is the name of another Galaxy, and that would leave Aquila as the "luxury yacht" variant.

I'm sure that's going to be announced at the Aussie GamesCon.

If we could get Chris Roberts and his team to fight it out over our LAN... I would be so happy.
Eventually something cool will go in here. It's a matter of time.

Necro bumped because the new variants are here:

There are no dedicated combat models which looks really interesting. I guess all connies will be on the same level when they start.

BTW, with people buying up variants the stretch goal has been shattered. Linguists are on board, and a new goal should be announced soon.

I think I am just going to stay with my base Connie as it will allow for good cargo and the most upgrade points.

The stock version, Andromeda, does look to have the most versatility out of all of them.

I did upgrade my Aurora to a 315i since I am not upgrading my Connie.
