A sneak peek from the weekly email. There are 2 weird hose looking things sticking out in each end. I’m not sure what would come out of, or get sucked into those. Maybe some sort of futuristic power connector. It doesn’t look like a jetpack, but maybe?

    These are pretty RSI coded and considering they’ve been teasing Aurora Mk2 recently, I’m leaning towards them being attachments for that (like expanded idea of the cargo rail in the old model). The left one looks like a possible cargo module (one that works like a container rather than cargo grid) and the other… dunno, maybe additional fuel tank or something (those winglets make me thing of something like that)?

    The exhaust-like thing in the middle of those modules does indeed look like a power connector, while the two “bumpers” on the sides might be some kind of magnetic surface for physical attachment? As for the round things on the far end… I have no idea. They look like pipes but I’m not sure what function they could serve in a (potential) cargo module.

    Or maybe the “bumpers” are just that and the circular things are the actual attachment points? Guess we’ll see next week (if they are indeed for the new Aurora).
