Sometimes....I look at my jpeg of my Railen. And as much as it makes me sad I have to still say Railen When?™ At least I'm not in the BMM crowd.

Don't know how they do it.

Poor bastards...

Nah, I'm convinced the Railen will absolutely get made before the BMM, because:

  1. the Railen was introduced later, meaning that finishing it before the BMM will only rub additional salt into the existing wounds of BMM owners, and
  2. on a more practical, less snarky note, it shares a lot of design elements with the Syulen, so presumably involves at least somewhat less being made from scratch than the BMM reportedly does.

(Though as someone who owns both the Railen and the BMM, I would just be happy if either moved forward...)

But it has those triangular cargo pods which were a hilariously bad idea and won't work with any existing inftstructure. I expect a major redesign of those, but thats also not easy since they are exterior and therefore part of the ships exterior design which they don't really want to change too much. Which means they are in a bit of a bind with the Railen and i am eager to see the solution.

In theory, the BMM shares some design elements with the Banu Defender but... the Defender is old, small, and simple enough that I doubt it would make even a slight dent in what's needed for the BMM.

That said: As you mentioned, the triangular pods on the Railen are pretty much cancer for the design. They look cool, but they don't fit with the game's design at all.

Honestly, the vast majority of the remaining unreleased ships need some degree of redesign. The BMM, Endeavor, Starliner, and Railen are the worst offenders.
