As we slowly approach the final days of this year's expo, we look back at Citizencon and what surprises awaited us during the expo.
Citizencon was beyond fantastic, and the most mesmerising segments where the panels discussing the new planet tech, and the quantum mechanics being introduced to the game. The environmental procedures introduced to planets, like in the upcoming MicroTek planet are just phenomenal, and will add a whole new experience to planetary exploration.
The Carrack is coming along just fine, and was a little disappointed it wont make the cut for the upcoming alpha 3.8, but it will be worth the wait. The Anvil Pisces has finally been made available, and has that very cool star trek feel to it.
The 2494 IAE Expo
The expo is nearly over, and the best in show ships have been made available to all bakers. All ships feature an exclusive livery, but to be honest, pink is not really my colour. I would have liked to see the hangar decorations as separate saleable items though.
With regards to surprises, we did see all the latest ships within the expo, including the 890 Jump, but besides the Pisces made available during the 1st day, there was no big surprise and no Idris was on display.
For collectors like myself, you can still grab the commemorative t-shirt series, which were available during the expo. So it may be worth giving those a look.
On the whole, the Expo is still a great event and enjoy checking out all the cool offers available. I look forward to next year's expo, which will be bigger, better and more of Whitley's Guides.
