A Word from MISC

Simple and efficient design has been a MISC cornerstone from the very beginning. Formed in the Centauri System in 2805, the company started by producing heavy industrial machinery and bulk freighters, like the Hull series, that won acclaim for their durability and ease of use. As the company’s ambitions grew, so did their market share. Though some claimed the civilian ship field was saturated, MISC saw the chance to bring their signature style to a wider market.

After signing an unprecedented lend lease agreement with the Xi’An, MISC began to incorporate incredible new xeno-tech into civilian ships like the Freelancer and Reliant. This blend of revolutionary, alien design along with MISC’s signature form and function is why the company has been deemed “the future of spaceflight” by the Terra Gazette.

MISC is honored to be a part of this year’s Intergalactic Aerospace Expo, and excited to show off the ships we’ve worked so hard to perfect.

Where are they now?

MISC’s Starfarer tanker succesfully kicked off a number of Star Citizen’s mutlicrew and larger ship systems earlier this year; it’s flight ready in Crusader today. The base Freelancer and Reliant are also currently flyable. The Freelancer will recieve another pass to bring it up to the current standards, and the variants will be made flight ready as part of this process. The Reliant variants are also in development, although some of them will require additional game systems that have not yet gone live (such as the broadcasting system used in the news van.) The Hull series will serve as an important testbed for our cargo systems, with the Hull A and Hull C being built out as the ‘flagships’ of the line. The Hull B, D and E will follow, based on the artwork and the lessons learned on the first two. The Endeavor and modules are in concept, with additional implementation work planned for next year. MISC also has an unannounced concept ship in the works, aiming to place well in the 2947 Murray Cup!

THE ESPERIA PROWLER

Straight from annals of history comes one of the most legendary ships of the First Tevarin War, beautifully and meticulously recreated by the dedicated craftsman and astroengineers at Esperia. Designated “Prowler” by the UPE Navy pilots who first encountered it in battle, this Tevarin armored personnel carrier developed a fearsome reputation for infiltrating enemy stations and ships and delivering teams of Naulle, elite Tevarin boarders, to wreak havoc on unsuspecting Humans.

Now, centuries later, Esperia is making this unique ship once again available to collectors and military enthusiasts alike, preserving the feel and design of the Tevarin original while updating it to modern standards of efficiency and safety. And like all of Esperia’s ships, these are more than mere showpieces, these works of art were made to fly.

Behind Enemy Lines

There is a reason that the Prowler made its mark on history. At the time, the ship was one of the most advanced and cutting edge pieces of combat technology to grace a battlefield, and Esperia’s Prowler continues that tradition today. An ideal vessel for infiltration, boarding, troop deployment, extraction, fleet security and stealth missions, the Prowler’s distinctive hull can not only hold 16 persons, but it can rapidly deploy them thanks to its series of airshield portals. While common today, airshields were first developed by the Tevarin and changed the face of war thanks to the ease in which their troops could move in and out of the Prowler.

Overall, the Tevarin’s expertise in shields far outpaced Humanities own as exemplified by the Phalanx Shield that comes standard with the Prowler. A point defense shield that provides a very strong but limited protective face, the Phalanx Shield was one of the reasons that the Prowler became such a significant defensive force when flown in a squad with shields deployed and its wide variety of defensive countermeasures at the ready.

In addition, the Prowler’s Grav-Lev plates give additional flight control when traversing along uneven surfaces. This comes quite in handy when trying to position the Prowler alongside a large capital ship or inside a planetary fortification. As does the remote turret positioned along the upper spine for full 360 offense.

From silently infiltrating an unsuspecting enemy hangar to charging in to get forces where they’re most needed, the Esperia Prowler is a piece of history ready to make a whole bunch more.

About the Sale

The Prowler is being offered for the first time as a limited concept sale. This means that the ship design meets our specifications, but it is not yet ready to display in your Hangar, fight in Arena Commander or fly in the Alpha. The sale includes Lifetime Insurance on the ship hull and a pair of decorative items for your Hangar. A future patch will add a Prowler poster and then once the in-game model is finished you will also be given an in-game Prowler mini ship model! In the future, the ship price will increase and the offer will not include Life Time Insurance or these extras.

Merchandise Sale

Disclaimer

Remember: we are offering this pledge ship to help fund Star Citizen’s development. The funding generated by sales such as this is what allows us to include deeper, non-combat oriented features in the Star Citizen world. Concept ships will be available for in-game credits in the final universe, and they are not required to start the game.

Additionally, please note that the Prowler will be entering the ship pipeline now, it will ultimately be released after other concept ships have been completed. All decorative ‘flare’ items will also be available to acquire in the finished game world. The goal is to make additional ships available that give players a different experience rather than a particular advantage when the persistent universe launches.
