Next concept sales by my estimation:

1) Dragonfly - probably around $85 for this fart in the wind
2) Buccaneer - The concept too lazy to draw a jpeg for. Just some words. Guessing $110.
3) Polaris class Corvette - This is the big daddy, and after the failure of the Blade sale I expect this to roll out next. $750-$900. Cash cow.

Nah, I predict that they move on to selling property. Ships might be played out, I mean how many light fighters does a person really need, but no one has been able to purchase a floating condo.

ManAnus is defensive as hell actually and completely disinterested in figuring out what's true if it means he might have been wrong. Sarsapariller is at least open-minded enough to re-examine his opinions in the light of new evidence, even if it resulted in an error of judgement. Way better imo.

If a corporation can buy an entire planet, then there is already an in-lore justification for property sales.

Who is going to be the first to drop $50,000+ to buy a capital ship construction platform on Crusader with the promise that you can build Idrises?

The worst thing about the floating platforms of Crusader is that they've released a concept of it in August 2013. This was around the same time that they released a concept for ArcCorp. So the only new information we have about one of their earliest planet-side locations is leaked concept art.

This would make more marketing sense than a low-cost scrub-mobile-- but then again, they can get little ships into the PU without THAT much difficulty (in CIG terms).

The new Corvette seems like a buttload of new engineering debt. Does it still take 23 people to fly it (human and NPC)? Or was that the earlier version?

Whatever they roll out next, I'd assume it's for the mega-whales. They'll be the last to capitulate.

If CIG is close to unveiling female NPCs, they'd probably make a fortune selling hot ones to accompany lonely smugglers and space heroes on their adventures in spaaaaaaaace.
