To be clear that's not necessarily a render in the Sins engine, but it is the model they made for it instead of just concept art.

Nope. They said that it was in-game, I can now confirm this, having signed up for facebook in order to see these things...

Well, that answers my question in another thread. And my conclusion still stands. That is a mobile Novalith Cannon.......

No, it's smaller to take out structures and other Capital ships. One Titan can take on a fleet of ships. Supposedly.

Let's see, new things that I can spot.

 

New skybox

New ship

Lighting texture layer now shows up better

Ship parts now shadow themselves

Possible updated bloom engine? There's certainly something different going on with the particle/mesh overlap...

Read the facebook comments...

Brian Clair That's just a render, but the in-game model looks pretty good still.

They said "Render of the In-game version" on facebook (I saw it there before this thread). Render does not equal screenshot.

Either way, in-game, rendered graphic. That's two different shots of the TEC's Titan. Let's see the Vasari version, oh yeah maybe the Advent as well.....

I doesn't look that much bigger than the star base in the background however it's tough to tell with the angle.  It definitely seems scaled down from the first concept Athena render. Still pretty cool though.

It's probably close to the same mass as the Argonov, but it can be tricky to judge because it's a long ship.

Will it's main weapons be pointed forward, so I can enter combat as soon as I come out of phase space. Or will it main wepons be on it's broard sides so I have to wait for it to turn around to fire.
