I noticed something in one of the new wallpapers available on the rubicon page, on the one with the two bastion-mode kronos's there is a hyperion in the lower right corner of the wallpaper. if you look carefully you will notice that the ship had Gallente tech 2 colours ( Duvolle Labs to be accurate ). is this a slight oversight, or a hint at a new class of T2 battleship?

Interesting. Maybe CCP is taking a page out of minecraft's book with hiding things in images. Additionally, what would it be? Pocket dread? New cov ops heavy bomber? A hauler? Or they could just be trolling us. :P
Good find, nonetheless. I'll keep a sharper eye on those in the future.

I would hope more along the lines of a flag ship.

Last time we had Ravens shooting lasers during an orbital bombardment.

Still, I'd love me a nice T2 Hyperion.

Ravens can shoot lasers during orbital bombardment, cant they?

Tell me again about how every playstyle you dont engage in "doesn't require any effort" and everyone who does it needs to die in a fire. Be sure to mention about how you tried it once but it was too easy/boring/ethnic-homophobic slur.

Like a Battleship sized command ship, with large bonusses to warfare links and huge tanking potential.

Very interesting, I really like the hyperion model so a new ship based on it would be nice. =)

This is nothing but marketing. They do something like this almost every expansion and the community always reads to much into it. You think they would have learned by now.

I wouldn't read too much into these images. Especially when the myrms shown on the main website have the minmatar emblem on them.

just because a hull has a different paint job, dont make it a T2 hull...

They sure can, but my point is that the CCP art department is very creative, to say the least.

They're probably just throwing in some shiniez for the visual value.

I can't find it, but in one of the old development videos by CCP, there is a incidental cut-away to a CCP dev giving a presentation - its very brief - but on the slideshow you can see the Prophecy ship displayed with a number of different paint variations - several of which are not in the game, and have not appeared since. It was over a year ago now and looked more like something to do with custom paint jobs - remember all that stuff about being able to customise your ships with corp logos? I think it was probably tied to that concept (which hasn't seen the light of day since!).
