SerPurr Beta Tester 722 posts 16,792 battles Report post #5 Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) From the looks of things I reckon it's definitely Independence Day related. The ship models themselves might be from MoO. Weird. That's the third time the NY harbor gets altered to commemorate something. I wonder which WG department does this. Surely it's not the RU branch.

SerPurr Beta Tester 722 posts 16,792 battles Report post #18 Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) They're about to roll out 5th iteration of Master of Orion early access, but that doesn't seem to warrant any particular publicity. Is WG an investor in Independence Day Resurgence? I reckon with the 4th of July being close as well as the movie going live today, it's all -more or less- related. That and what I deem likely to be just a harbor exclusively getting pimped for the NA by the NA (who seem to have no issue whatsoever holding contests and special events over just about any event on the calendar anyways). Pity we don't have a EU modeling branch. Edited June 23, 2016 by Architekton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
