Lads. Railen = good.
I believe there will be. ||Something was leaked I believe.||
||"It's the Gatac Syulen."||
||"It fits with the current naming scheme (Railen, Syulen)"||
Don't click if you don't want spoilers. : D
if you want the full details on those spoilers: #leaks-discussion๐ง message
Discuss it there, not here. Unless it actually comes out. Also, I melted my Hull C to go for the Railen, I think I made the right choice. Also will be going San'tok for my fighter, I think.
That's an interesting choice. Railen sure does look better. But the Hull-C has litterly more than 10x the cargo capacity right?
Definitely picking up a San'to at AW
And hopefully a Railen too
Any word on if there'll be a price increase?
Yep, but I feel like the Railen would be more my style, and that's what's important.
im taking this 
Our Memes.
hopefully will be pretty fair on price
might have to halt my chain for gal and go for that if it comes out
took that from ean lol

Oh yeah, I forgot that one
Woah the heck my message got sent like 4 hours after I sent it
Fair enough. I'd prob do the same thing. Railen rook absolutely awesome. Nice goal to save towards ingame.
It'll be a concept I guess. So it'll be the lowest it'll ever be
Curious to what it'll be.
I just want to be able to land like a normal ship and not nose dive like the C2, or accidentally rip my D with the caterpillar. Also, purple, nice living space, and easy-to-access components.
Well, you aren't going to land normaly. You are going to land in style. From what I've seen it's going to do some transformation stuff like other alien ships.
What I mean is, the hitbox for landing is basically just a big square/cube. The C2 by comparison will often tilt down frontward when landing, since the landing hitbox is a rectangle at the far back. Also the C2 has the same visibility as the Hull-Series, and I can't stand that.
yeah
it shouldnt nose dive
the top "arms" fold down and looks like itll have enough support
Yes, I know, I said that: #1116833788069167104 message
ah
Fair enough.
I honestly think this is the best looking Alien ship coming to SC.
Hopefully the Syulen will also be good looking.
Facts. But we'll have to see. Alien week starts on Monday right?
Thursday probably. Since Alienweek starts on the 15th
hopefully it will be small
or maybe like connie sized
cuz theres no connie sized alien ship
๐
Isn't the Railen close the the Connie? Or am I confused.
You aren't, it's just vertically as big as the connie
its closer to carrack lmfao
no its taller than carrack lmfao
its half the length of carrack
Also, the Railen's going to be way more maneuverable than the Connie/Corsair/Carrack
I mean, if you stood the connie on its nose :V
carrack
I meant to say "It's as tall as the connie is long" 
Railen is massive
No joke, this is the Connie:
I like my women tall

I think the angle is fooling us. And maybe this was a old concept.
eitherway its still closer to carrack
kinda hoping it gets a size and scu increase
It's already got a huge profile though.
The side view has the andromeda positioned where the railen would be height-wise landed. Please look at it.
You are already a giant target.
that just looks so weird 
in all the pictures Railen looks huge
now it looks smaller
Connie isn't a small ship.
ik
Red lines = connie if you're still unsure where it is height-wise.
Also, translation for the sneak peek: https://twitter.com/jale_xel_jela/status/1667282532176482307
It's also one of these: https://starcitizen.tools/Tholo
Tholo is a small three-sided token representative of Cassa, the Banu patron of luck. It is commonly used as a decision-making device: ask a question, then roll the tholo to get a 'yes,' 'no' or (what roughly translates to)'run' as an answer. It is also a popular among human tourists as a small keepsake of their travels.
Alien ship club

San tok yai?
I'm hoping it will become flyable for Alien Week, but unlikely since there hasn't been anything in the leaks. But CIG might just be holding back patch data like they should've been doing all along. I'm also hoping the Syulen will go on concept sale and be Pathfinder/Explorer. Since we don't have an alien ship that does that yet.
don't think it'll be flyable no
Syulen hype tho
Alien ship hype in general 
freaky aliens man 
Just remember not to drink from those strange bird bath things. ||The Xi'an poop from their mouths.||
Alien week is next week right?
15th
Gib alien week faster
it is official : the San tok yai is an alien ship that might come out for alien week
nah just kidding it might not too 
I think it'll come later. But if I'm proven wrong that's good.
Starts this week. On Thursday. Have a feeling it'll start with ISC.
Time to ready the wallet
Not so much me, because most of what I'm getting can be got through credit.
ROC > San'tok
STV > Railen
STV > Syulen depending if it's my style.
My plan is getting a railen
The rest o will see
I'm very curious to what it's price will be. (If they increased it.)
Railen, but very curious to the Syulen concept.
A exploration/ multirole alien ship would be fun. We'll see what it is.
We''ll see. : D
Hasn't even had its original warbond/standalone price put out yet. Can't have a price increase until after 
I'm hoping the Syulen is either Starter or Connie sized. Or between that.
Gib starter alien
Ah yes, Tachyon cannons. Can't wait to instantly replace them.

gatica!?

real
To give some idea of why there might be a new concept or flyable this year at Alien Week, we had nothing in 2022: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/18650-Celebrate-Alien-Week-2022-With-Us
Below are years that I found by scowering the SCTools Wiki and Google. Flyable means they were flyable that year, not that their concept came out then as well.
Concepts:
-- Merchantman โโโโโ 2013
-- San'tok โโโโโโโโโ 2018 (via Google)
-- Railen โโโโโโโโโโ 2021 (via Google)
Flyable:
-- Glaive โโโโโโโโโโ 2014
-- Scythe โโโโโโโโโโ 2015
-- Khartu-al โโโโโโโ 2016
-- Nox โโโโโโโโโโโโโ 2017
-- Blade โโโโโโโโโโโ 2018
-- Defender โโโโโโโโ 2019
-- Prowler / Talon โ 2020
This means we're overdue for something from the Aliens.
Looks more like Aliens are no longer a priority

RAILEN
Isc about alien week so that mean new stuff confirmed for me 
We haven't had anything new from Alien Week since 2020 outside of imaginary concepts
More of a reason to release the Railen 
Lot of people seem to like the fact I told SC Twitter about no alien ship last year. I don't know why though 
you really riled them up lmao
Anyone think the SanTok Yai is coming out this week?
My fleet. I might as well check back in 6 years.
oof
oof
thanks for San'Tok Yeet'ing my dreams.
Even worse: the tracker merely ends in mid december so it could easily go on into next year

fixed
what a name

you mean "without copilot"
Warhammer cost a shit tone
more than SC?
depends
i guess it's dependent on the person
7 armies in, yes.
Managed to get to Tressler with the Khartu-al Loaner. Was unflyable at first because of how stupidly responsive mouse control is in 3.19.1 for some reason.
Also see they broke the alignment for cockpit UI again.
My partner knows how much I've spent on SC
She plays too :P
Think she's up to about ยฃ300 or so
Alien Week is among us! Join us today to see how the San'Tok.Yฤi is progressing, followed by another upcoming ship just for the Hull of it!

12 seconds ago. : )
Graybox review failed. 
Intended release later this year tho 
So it looks like I was spot on with them using the Fury's Engines for the San'tok. You can kind of see it at the clip around 6:40
No new ship announcement 
WHERE (โฏยฐโกยฐ)โฏ๏ธต โปโโป
They probably won't announce it until after the San'tok is done if they don't do so this Alien Week. So expect IAE or next year.
fr

Whole lotta nothing huh? Maybe at the end of the week.
I bet the Syulen is an onboarding task to help prep for the Railen, and weโll just have to wait and see if one of the unannounced ships are it 
Facts.
Is the Syulen in the room with us?
Only in my rain dance rituals
I can only agree ๐ฎ
Hilarious ad tho
Very 80s-90s
Fun to see what the Banu think we like in a advertisement.
I could see them liking this style of advert.
I too enjoy oxygen
Last time I checked they were barely alive. ๐
Their ships full of atmosphere!
Do we have any estimated idea of when the railen will be done, i really want to buy it but
damn
any chance someone here has a talon with the wanderer paint, that can take a pic of it in game, paints usually look way dif in game than on the store
Pretty sure you can find it on youtube ๐
I have heard that the paint make the canopy vision port bugged
Peak CIG moment
#sc-news message โ Where in this video is the "San'tok Dash"
58 mins in
Cool
Oh that does look cool
Question is, will it be done before next alien week lol
Prob not right
They failed greybox mainly because of this, it's all they got left before they move to the next phase. The San'tok's thrusters also spin around like the Fury's. Which explains why it can go so fast in SCM with only four thrusters. After Greybox comes Final Phase then Flight preparation.
Yea but weโre you talking about the railen or the santok
mainly because of this
was referring to the dashboard that I gave a picture of. 
Ah oki
Seems like the dash wouldnt be that hard to make tho right?
2 spheres and a screen
Then again I know nothin of modeling and such so what would I know
The screen animates into view (as is the case with a lot of these alien ships). Those particle bits at the bottom cradling the sides of the protusion also likely animate ambiently
I see
I'd recommend watching this one for the Talon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9UuH-9ytBA&t=1m30s (1:30)
In this video, I review the Star Citizen light fighter, the Esperia Talon, including a tour as well as detailed ship review. I include gameplay footage of the Esperia Talon in 4K at 60FPS (or as close as I could get). The gameplay for this Star Citizen Origin Esperia Talon ship review is from patch 3.14
00:00 Introduction
01:01 Ship Tour & Deck...
I used to have a talon but I donโt anymoreโฆ Iโm very tempted to get one but the current lti token I have is the storm and I donโt wanna lose it until itโs in game since it seems pretty cool
Unfortunately no new vehicles this alien week so no lti token for me
image too small 
Open it in a browser.
i did
Works for me on 1440p
All I see is that they still use the 16:9 ratio screens in 2953
Canโt go wrong with the classics
yea same
lmao
although its prob since it was adapted for humans right?
Can't wait until next month to get two STVs from my Buybacks so I can have two Khartu-al loaners (I'm pretty sure you only get one now.) Since I already have one from the San'tok.
Buyback Tokens come on July 3rd: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/1/thread/2023-buy-back-token-schedule/338390
Happy alien week
Anyone got a translation for whatever that message is?
Yeah you only get one
Got a sty and Railen and only have one Khartu
Oh, I know you only get one Loaner 
The xenolinguistics discord is deciphering it as we speak
They think there're some new words in here
Then why did you "im pretty sure" 
I'm pretty sure Ean said "I'm pretty sure" to let us know that he thinks this is this way, but letting us know that he won't confirm for sure at 100% because he doesn't want to 100% confirm an information when he has a slight doubt this information is not 100% sure. Comparatively, some people 100% confirm information that are wrong, and then get upset when being told wrong (because being 100% sure doesn't make you right). I prefer the people who don't 100% confirm personally ๐
And I use the "I'm pretty sure" because maybe I'm wrong in what I said :p So I can be corrected in this case

Love me some Alien Week ๐
Defender. โค๏ธ
Space Crab/Tiny Foots Gang
Such a cute ship.
Really is ๐
Cant wait for its big brother to be addedโฆ shame it got shelved really, but also understandable
What's the other ship there apart from Defender?
Talon
Wat they said ๐
@proven roost
Esperia Talon
Apologies for the tag ๐ค
Who thinks it is worth it to upgrade my Gladius to a Blade ? ๐
san tok yai where are you ;-;
Do it.
The answer is always yes.
day ? of San tok yai when
San Tok Yai with T0 Server Meshing Static march 2024 no Pyro update
that's plenty of alien power lol
๐ข All i wont is to fly my Banu MM's, but it is starting to feel like that will never happen.
Why do you have 3 bmm ?
I don't understand the question
To wait it goes to 700$ and upgrade to any of those ships !
get ready for some screenshots
nvm, bounties are broken so enemy ships absorb a crapmount of damage
I already have a poloris, noutilus and a hammerhead and i definitely don't wont a a2 as it is too much $ for what it is. but i have 3 due to it being my fav ship looks wise along with the 890. also so I can let other people in my org use them in different systems to make me more auec.
i remember when talon + those cannons were op as shit
You have a heart as big as 3 BMMs ! ๐

San tok yai?
BMM?!?!?!?!
yeah bmm is like 10 years in the making it's gunna have its own citizenship at this rate
BMM will be released after I am dead
Yes
sandy tokyo
san taki aye papi?

Ya'kay.Tory chicken
teriyaki
San teri yaki
Carton all
You guy are turning Carey in here
Does it seem like we...carey.....hehe
Carey to develop ?
Jim Carey?
Ace Ventura
Bmm 
Big MFN Mama
Is the talon good?
Yeah, not a "meta" ship, but the Talon is fun and people like to play it
reinforce it with drake tape
Is the San'tok.yฤi going to be awesome?
I hope it will be better than a Scorpius for solo players but less effective than a crewed scorpius of course
I hope it eats everything
Just give the railen
San tok yeeeee

@worthy dome
any predictions on when the wanderer paint will let us see out the cockpit ๐

blind me
3.20 no joke 
i dont remember writing that lmao i forget what i was talking about
Intrusive taught won I guess
oh I think it was cuz I didn't wanna see out the cockpit lmao
STY ๐
Straight to yellable
sty plz bb
ok how about the same time
Whatโs that from 
old jump point
Oh
Where is this picture taken from ? ๐ฎ
Khartu : Took it from the net but the credit is on top left of the picture)
I love those ships hehe
I'd love a Vanduul capital ship (size of a 890j)
sexi alien ship
I don't know what to think about the Blade and Glaive (the remake, not the actual one). I liked the BMM first concept that looked like Vanduul
Purple is the best color after all
gib railen
STY please
Soon brother soon 
Any ship please!
Floating rotating neon wheels !!!
ewww no
Oooo you want to buy a San'to
Ooooo you want to exchange your currency for the spicy green boi
(San'to supremacy)
STY wen
WEN
after Railen release
Soon
Real soon

I'm betting on IAE still. Since we know Railen starts production next year, and STY only failed the last *box phase before flight ready right before Alien Week. So it's almost done.

Let me cope 
where my bmm
gone
Hoping for San'tok at IAE
Probably


















You better start praying harder to our lord an saviour CR.
Better start praying they move up the production date to now. Since they said it would start production next year. Would have to delay 3.20
Good
Delay 3.20 smh smh
its the last ship i have my ๐ on, but im not sure if i should add it to my collection
Do eeeeetttttt!
Do it.
Iโm trying to decide if I build a chain to STY with LTI or just move some credit around and melt it when itโs available in game.
It's basically a really fast Medium Fighter. Faster than the Khartu-al with much more power in weapons. It's still going to be fragile AF, but with 265 m/s SCM, it's going to run circles around everything. It also has the Fury-style engines, so those four big main thrusters are also its maneuvering thrusters.
i got it to upgrade to another gatac ship if they make one
Syulen will be the next one. Explorer/Expedition/Racer. But we're probably not even going to see it announced until next Alien Week. 

I hate CIG, they hate xenos
If I had cancer my wish would be for them to add the bmm
Railen first 
no

Any word on the bmm?
Shelved 
Impossible

STY soon?
Railen first 
In more detail, they basically said it's the most complex thing they've ever had to make, due to it sharing basically nothing with any other design, and it'll probably be one of the last things they'll get to as a result
I just want another really large ship
Railen 
Railen 

SANTOKYAI SANTOKYAI
Itโs almost time 
The metioned the bmm!
San tok yai?
gib
Railen soon 
#leaks-discussion๐ง message yalls the folks to be interested in this
IAE's first day is Alien. 




Railen 
new gatac logo is bad and dumb
ist not a new logo
gatac alway had multiple logo
tbh on the one you posted it look more like gatag
It looks cooler.
it was stupid
ur stupid
no u
why woudl you write g and c the same way
the railen club even all agrees its worse
the only less great part is teh removal of xian writing



๐ฅต
๐ซฆ
Starters are generally awful, are they not?
Then again I only have the cutter to go off of
Shit thatโs a lot of hydrogen
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/994239127245574294/1174054306236874792/image.png?ex=65663247&is=6553bd47&hm=0f4ff91fa725dca46b66a7d63e4cb4620e25b72636d107796d80111584aef0d6&
So fucking cool, if that's how it actually lands
Everyone picked up their Syulen?
I got 2
Ayy, welcome
Youe the rank of the ๐ฌ now. Welcome brother
Yes welcome
I'll take the latter
I didnโt know it had a knitting module, thatโs cool.
My post was from September lol
Iโm actually slowly becoming a BMM convert but I donโt want to get my hopes up because it will just end in disappointment.
They've said it's gonna be one of the last ships they build
If not the last
thought that was for the endeavor
Before the BMM we need the Aegis, Miari, Galtec, Aooppa, and Drake Carrack
I'm surprised we didn't get another Carrack this IAE
no
We need the bmm one day
esperia prowler is peak
Nuh uh.
Wrong
Bmm
Railen > everything else
Get out 
No
Late as hell but seconded on railen.
Isn't the prowler one of, if not the most overpriced ships currently?
Costs twice as much as its contemporaries, is outperformed by said contemporaries, and doesn't even serve its purpose that well comparatively, IIRC.
Its been a while since I have played. I have the Glaive - is this still a decent ship? Not sure how new updated will affect it
Is fun
GATAC RAILEN - STAR CITIZEN
I am proud to present the Railen concept design I created for the Star Citizen universe.
Tasks of this ship included:
- Exterior concept design
- Interior concept design
- Animation
Gatacโs first foray into the human market, the Railen is an elegant interspecies vessel perfect for any Human or Xiโan pilot looking...
No fucking way, itโs actually coming

THIS MONTH
We going full copium with this one 
impressive, very nice but where is my bmm that they promised me 13 years ago
Still waiting on the Railen
Alien Week is next week right?
Where the fuck is my Railen 
Still waiting on Railen part 2.
Aye any of you Alien bros got the Oculus Paint or Harmony Paint for the SanTok? Can I get some in game screenshots if so please?
Well still cant buy the glaive
Don't you need to finish Alien Swarm to get the Glaive?
Yeah
already did though
apparently there is bug thats deleting peoples vanduul agressor badges
i had mine equipped but it got replaced by the civilian badge
well fixed for me anyway
we love the bmm
yeah but chris roberts doesnt
The real question is will they be able to get the BMM out?
Didnโt the team of designers leave or something?
tbf its a difficult design language
guys im thinking CIG is delaying BMM so that owners melt it considering its way to cheap even atm
We will never crumple
Price will grow when thereโs updates about it
It just hasnโt been taxed yet
i know thats why i think CIG is stalling so people melt or CCU from BMM so they can silently price increase when they start working on it. I do not see BMM under 1000USD when it will be PU ready
I mean also they have a small team working on it
not anymore its on pause atm
The only ship in the game that matters
Heresy
just like the bmm
And lo, CIG said: "Get fucked, lmao."
It's so over.
I LOVE ALIEN SHIPS!
question will BMM get Ironclad as loaner instead of HULL C and C2 so it would be Ironclad+Defender?
We wonโt know until it releases
Bmm never coming
True.
Guys Railen this IAE right

No, railin isnt annouced at all in this years roadmap
wasn't there something in the recent leaks about a Xi'an drone being worked on?
would love if that's how they fix the Railen loading issue I've wondered about.
Railen has 2 tractor beams so I dont think loading will be too bad
Nothing ever happens.
unfortunately not. first concept sale was november 26, 2013
Glaive rework for IAE 2024!
Lol
50 mg of copium to room 2 please.
can't wait for this baby
I do worry about how they plan on getting cargo inside the pods, but it's such a great design I'm still sitting on mine
Banking on a subtle rework that gives it 10 external triangular pods that open to each accept a 32scu cargo box, keeping its 320scu capacity while making it bearable to load/unload
The actual pods arenโt triangles. Those are just covers
I just really really love the Hyotan paint, I'll like the railen even if its unusable for cargo I'll find something to use it for
Obvisouly though it would be nice
I mean if they give it square cargo pods and more capacity that would be amazing
i don't see why they cant use both, and on that artwork the triangle pods look all over the place
As the leaks are already starting to begin; place your bets ladies and gentlemen, new ship, new concept(s), or just more skins
Do you think the Railen will be launching for alien week?
Iโve been playing my scyulen just hoping for it
Yes
So... the Glaive....
Do these winged-blades actually exist? I melted mine so long ago, ive forgotten all about it!
Any thoughts on the leak for the prowler variant?
#notmyalienhauler
#giveustheRaileninstead
Yes, we definitely needed a 32-scu "cargo" ship.
I mean hey, gotta give it to cig, if you pull off a successful heist with the tractor beam snatching you might even make up for the fuel you spent getting there in the first place!
At least it inherited the prowler's good looks, I guess.
are they ever gonna release the railen ๐ญ
maybe iโd play this game again if they did
neva
The Railen has finally entered pre-production! Again!
You may now clap.
Our time has come
Happy I picked the railen up last alien week
eh, blade and prowler uti will continue to be better 
It begins.
railen alien week 2026
๐
I wonder if they will reveal how it will store cargo alien day
i bet for a magnetic grid like the RAFT
they already said it will use normal squared boxes
so those triangles on the sides may be just a cover? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Cig is a scam for not making Railen flyable
Wooohooo !!! ๐ฅณ
From today's stream:
"We are currently working out exactly what we're going to do with the cargo on it"
"We're trying a few different things, haven't nailed it down in concept yet, in the next couple of weeks we'll start looking at it."
IAE holo is a wip placeholder, they're still puzzling it out.
They want to keep the triangles somehow.
Still slated for '26, apparently.
yeah i knew theyre keeping with the triangles
but 640 is a really nice spot for its size
i hope the interior gets slightly bigger as well
i pray ๐ for pilot controlled weapons..
its got pilot missiles
turrets are manned so prob wont be pilot controlled plus they dont have a good forwards arc iirc
Did they changed the Loaner for Railen?
the loaned Taurus vanished and i got a Hercules C2 instead...
they said they would, but mine hadn't changed as of last night
although I do seem to have an intrepid for some reason
from the free fly event, will be gone soon.
yea
they got rid of the karthu as well
that was a while ago though
BMM WHERE
not here
Gets a dev team on it end of next year so probably alien week 2028 if they havenโt got an early start on it
not confirmed if itll get a dev team they said they would like one on it but theyre still considering
so, has there been any talk about the Vanduul destoryer at all? Do we know if they are ever planning on making one flyable?
or any โlargerโ vanduul ship(s) than the current offerings?
Idk if there are plans to offer them on the pledge store, but there are definitely larger vanduul ships in SQ42
yeah ik, the mauler is also coming for the PU in at least an AI enemy capacity
i would love to have one flyable tho, it looks beyond cool
I definitely hope the route the goth vanduul ships is not selling them on the pledge store, but letting you salvage and repair them in game to be able to fly them if you want.
railen is now in production yayy
