You've probably already seen this Matsif, but some dude created a huge spreadsheet with all the currently known info about the game. Hypes me up just reading over it a little.

huh, i thought the banu merchantman would be a massive capital ship, not a 3 person ship, kinda disappointing.

Where have you seen that its a 3-person ship? For what it's worth, it's a bit bigger than the constellation.

Oh woopsy, at first glance of the image, i mistook those cargo cranes as people :-/
But the concept art made it seem about as big as one of these things http://i.imgur.com/5a9aonh.jpg so its still a small letdown for me

I would have guessed it was about the length of an Idris. It's more like 2/3 that, so smaller than I expected. It's like a tenth the length of a bengal carrier though O.o

the video schedule for things like 10 for the chairman, wingman's hangar, and the next great starship changed. also new T4TC, which I'll detail anything cool below.

Changes to broadcast schedule

For those too lazy to click:
-T4TC will now debut mondays at 3 PM PST (6 PM EST, 11 PM GMT)
-Wingman's Hangar will now debut wednesdays at 9 AM PST (Noon EST, 5 PM GMT)
-Next Great Starship will keep it's current slot on fridays at 3 PM PST (6 PM EST, 11 PM GMT)

T4TC things I thought were of note:
-Hornet tracker is supposed to be able to link it's radar to other ships, meaning I get to play scout and tell you guys what's coming I guess :P. More of an explanation for any more advanced radar upgrades.
-Some info on possibilities for player run businesses, mainly focused on being a taxi (for lack of a better term)
-apparently they want to have more graphics engineers for SC than crytek has
-you will be able to leave ships parked in an idris full time
-hangar housecleaning update in the next week or so (getting rid christmas decorations and such)
-bit of explanation on DFM (which he also said near future for release...take from that what you will)

per wingman's hangar, DFM is going to get a big show at PAX East, and possibly even a release date (although I wouldn't be surprised if we got another delay, which I'm ok with)!!

THINGS AND STUFF!!!!
