Revealing the Silhouettes - Pt. 1

In “Revealing the Silhouettes - Pt. 1,” the creator analyzes new ship silhouettes revealed at Citizen Con, identifying several models and speculating on their roles, including the Agu CSV FM and various Hornet variants. The video highlights the challenges of identifying some silhouettes, such as a potential military ship and a mining variant, while concluding with a promise for further exploration in a subsequent video.

In the video “Revealing the Silhouettes - Pt. 1,” the creator discusses the newly unveiled silhouettes from Citizen Con, emphasizing that most of the shapes are already familiar to fans. The creator meticulously analyzes each silhouette, using 3D modeling to align existing ship models with the new shapes to determine their identities. The initial focus is on the Agu CSV FM, a base building variant, which the creator believes has discrepancies in its design compared to the existing supply model. The speculation hints that there may be more CSV variants in development, but the exact role of this new model remains uncertain.

The creator moves on to discuss a few shapes that are harder to identify. One silhouette, which appears military in nature, raises questions about its purpose, with some viewers suggesting it could be a Grad Cav or an Ursa variant. The next silhouette is recognized as being related to the Atlas platform, possibly for base building, though its size and military features create ambiguity. The creator notes that two of the silhouettes are likely Hornet variants, though they argue against them being the already announced Mark 2 versions, suggesting a possible heavy Hornet model instead.

Continuing the analysis, the creator identifies the medical Terapin silhouette, highlighting its recognizable features and some graphical oversights in the trailer. They also mention a silhouette referred to as the “fat Fury,” which aligns with a leaked image of the Mira Guardian. However, the creator expresses skepticism about whether this silhouette is the same ship due to design differences. They propose that it could either be a variant of an existing ship or a completely different model that has evolved during development.

The creator examines a silhouette that resembles a mining ship, initially thought to be the Argo entry Miner but is ultimately identified as a variant of the Prospector. They speculate that it might be a salvage variant, potentially named MK Fortune, which raises concerns about the differentiation between mining and salvage professions in the game. Another silhouette remains a mystery, with the creator suggesting it could be a stealth variant of the Intrepid, though they admit that they have not found a definitive match for it yet.

Finally, the video concludes with the identification of several other silhouettes, including the Apollo Medivac, the Star Lancer, and the Perseus. The creator mentions the Ironclad and the Pioneer, noting their significance in the game’s development pipeline. They express gratitude to their supporters on YouTube and Patreon, inviting viewers to engage with the content further. The video wraps up with a promise to continue exploring these silhouettes in a second part, encouraging viewers to share their thoughts and speculations in the comments.
