The scrolling new reel at the bottom of the latest Scope video has a statement around 1:05 in that states a new Amarr Navy vessel was seen beginning flight trails. Could this new ship be available to capsuleers, something to do with Valkyrie, or maybe one of the force auxiliary capitals? Any thoughts?

It might be the force aux ship, which looks awesome btw.

Wasn't that article about the new hull that Jamyl Sarum was heading out to pick up when the Drifters assassinated her? The same hull that had the Drifters launching all out attacks on the navy base where it was being developed?

There were rumors about a Navy Version of the Abaddon some time ago when the Drifters invaded the Amarr Empire. But i think pushdogg is right, most certanly it refers to the new Force Auxiliary ships (Capital Logis).

Ah... Yes, the Arcturatas I believe it was called, or something like that. That though crossed my mind too. Hard to tell what that's about. I believe it was a new Imperial Issue Abbaddon. Though it's power plant sounded way, way over kill unless it was ment to work with a heavier than ordinary weapon system.

Then again, that was the same hull type which deployed the Terran super weapon. The one that destroyed the Minmatar Elder Fleet in the Battle Mehkior. That may be a very good reason for the Drifters to want to attack that navy station, the Empire, and kill Sarum. If the Amarr Navy was trying to reconstruct that weapon again under Sarum's direction, the Drifters likely attacked to prevent that weapon's completion.

Btw, if you recall, Sarum visit The Mehkior battle field shortly before her death too.

More than likely.
