I was thinking more along the lines of vivisection...

I wonder what type of ship Alex and co are transferring to? Beryl said it was an escort but that could be any thing from a Cutlass Light Cruiser to a Herald Courier Corvette.
My guess would be a Blaze Frigate because it is fast, it is likely to be escorting a supply column, and it is more likely to have space for extra passengers and cargo then a Courier.

What does everyone else think?

I'm hoping it's a halberd class ship. Just love the design of it and would get all giddy if we where to see it.

Not gonna be a Halberd - those are battleships - I'm sure we'll see them if/when Alex finally gets to Loroi systems.

In no particular order (other than the order they're on teh Insider page in), the possibilities that I see as being the top five: Rapier-class Escort Cruiser, Cutlass-class Light Cruiser, Warhammer-class Destroyer, Curved Knife-class Destroyer, or Blaze-class Frigate. I'd say that a Cutlass is least likely, being the slowest, and apparently relegated to defense fleets, as it's too slow to keep up with the raider fleets
Technically, I suppose transfer to a Hidden Dagger-class Scout or Herald-class Courier are remotely theoretical possibilities as well, however, neither has a shuttle bay, and Arioch doesn't have even a profile image up on the Insider.


Hrmmm ... of my probable top-five, I find anomalies in several.
What's the difference between a "Warhead Launcher" and a "Torpedo Launcher"? The Blaze-class apparently has one of each, in addition to an AMM Launcher. The Curved Knife apparently has two "Warhead Launchers" in addition to its AMM Launcher; the Cutlass has a Warhead Launcher as well; and the Warhammer has a "Warhead Launcher", but has torpedoes on its ordnance list.

Under the presumption that Arioch would have spent somewhat more time, effort, and attention to detail on whichever class of ship Alex is being transferred to ... it would seem likely that he would have noticed such anomalies, although it's always possible that since he knew what it was supposed to say, something slipped through during the editing process.

The Herald-class Courier now has a profile image.

The Herald-class Courier now has a profile image.

Ominous...

Not really. It's a recent addition, and I'd expect that whatever ship Alex is being transferred to would have been worked out significantly in advance. That's to say, whatever ship Alex is actually going to wind up on would have been worked out in advance. They could be intending to transfer him to different ship, but circumstances could force a change of plans.

[GeoModder]

Mmm... no. Seeing as how the Highland is still in the process of being created, I think Arioch builds assets as the story gets there.

[discord]

geo: building the details, yes, 'a shuttle craft' was probably what it looked like on the original story board, maybe getting a name and some details later.....what he will be traveling on has probably been decided a few years back, if i know Arioch.
