Senior Game Designer Curtis Griffiths said in the Dev Log of October 2026: ''"We’ve released plenty of new ships over the past couple of years, including a number of large ships that have shaken up the landscape a bit, and we wanted to create a kind of anchor for future ships to be measured against. Multi-role ships are a great way to do this; straight out of the shipyard they need to be good at everything, but they also shouldn’t be better at a single role when compared to a dedicated ship of the same size."''<ref name=":4" /> ''"To that end it’s not gonna out jump the Caspian or out trade the Panther Clipper, but it does trade better than the Caspian and jump better than the Panther."''<ref name=":4" /> | |||
