Mayflower is absolutely goals

My two cents (if you're interested) the Sovereign design team (or what it had become 15ish years later) ended up making the Oddessey, the Noble design team ended up making the Caliburn.

The Devs said in the live stream about the Nobel that they intentionally made her resemble the fan Excalibur class, as they don't have the right to use the original, but wanted to give the fans a ship that scratched the itch for the Excalibur, as they know how popular it is.

Presenting the remastered Ivatt 1MT Tank! A design proposed in the 1940s, but never built irl.
