Hi All
Just a random thought...
I can't presently see this mentioned in this topic (though I might've overlooked it), anyhow...the 'Prong' (as the dev's describe it in the last livestream?).
It's purely cosmetic at the moment as far as I know, or could it be a representation of a new type of weapon or something else?

If it's not a weapon in the true sense, will it be animated to resemble one, as in some kind of (harmless) beam or canon of some type, the animation synchronised to your real weapons (if the ship has any) perhaps. Or is it going to be some kind of sensor representation, either a current one or something new along those lines.
Maybe it just is what it is, a cosmetic feature.
