Wow! That’s a lot of added detail!
As you said though, it’s interesting they go back to old stuff that isn’t really used anymore. Then again, it is Cryptic, so decision-making can be perplexing; and, of course, we must always be wary of – “TIMELINE CHANGE IMMINENT!”
To be clear, those are both the old skins of the Aurora and Quasar, respectively - I have no idea what the new versions look like.
Oh! I misunderstood. I thought the top image was “before” and the bottom “after”. Now I’m curious what the new skins look like.
I know they released them for some dev/studio “birthday”, but I’m still surprised by the choice of ship(s). All that is old is new again!
They’ve now released a dev blog about these new ships, so I pasted some comparisons into that thread.
