The design process for the High Roller (Asaga's ryder) is now underway with the first order of business being to ensure the base ryder design maintains scale accuracy.
That said there is also an argument here that instead we've just made it canon that Asaga's new ryder owns a body pillow.

The ascendance of the young Queen Asaga di Ryuvia to the throne of Ryuvia marked a drastic increase in the nation's military expenditure, which was often criticized by the Council of Ministers, but widely supported by the people in light of the murder of King Jaylor and PACT's growing conquest of the Neutral Rim. Pivotal to Ryuvia Prime's military program was the cooperation of captured Prototy...

[NAMELESS] for the most part is now completed following some further tweaking around the paint job and finer details. In terms of its name we're going to have to continue to hold this detail back a bit longer but we hope in the meantime you'll join us for breaking a bottle of champagne against it to celebrate the first completed ship of Sunrider 4.

Due to the early nature of project eight (Sunrider 4) you may want to avoid this series until a later date as the subject matter may show unpolished plot points, view at your own discretion.

Happy Holidays everyone, another year has flown by hasn't it? To round out the final month of the year we wanted to get some more details out around current thinking as well as share a recent development that we haven't shared yet.

Something that was never really covered in too much detail with the Sunrider was the ryder launch and capture system, everything would be done with the same hole (get your minds out of the gutter).
This new ship however is a lot more clear cut.
1 = Ship upside down, catcher and ryder launcher system.
2 = Ryder launcher, inside the belly on the ceiling.
3 = Ryder ca...

We have some new angled shots of the previously revealed ship showing the revisions both on the side as well as the belly.
If you look on the tail in particular you can also see something has now popped out, just what could it be?

There are now updated visuals for the [NAMELESS] ship we showed you all previously with a more fleshed out design thanks to the introduction of the grey rendering.
You'll also notice we've decided to go with the ryder launch system being located on the bottom of the ship for this design, don't fret however the ryders won't be getting deployed like bombs from a MG-100 StarFortress SF-17.

So with October now fast approaching and no new test builds in a while we wanted to just let you all know that we're still here and working on Idol Empire. That being said quite a few of the versions are proving either quite unstable or bugs are being picked up after the builds are compiled resulting in fast periods of change internally - this meaning we're then mostly focusing on the next wave...
