It definitely looks cool, but I think it would be more spectacular from the ship. Possibly while we're doing a mission around it. Hrm... now I really want to know what kind TF/Story Arc that Mr. Sutter will be assigning us.

I think the trailer for I20 should include a clip of Sister Psyche playing the role of Cher on top this little battleship were getting.
I tried that, but there's no emote that really works for that 
I could stand on the gun, and sit on it sideways with any normal sit emote - but there's no way to actually sit astride it.

Personally, I think they did a pretty good job of representing a modern destroyer.
Is that the Freedom Phalanx boat that States stands on? Or a new one?
Either way, it's about damn time! Loving the more realistic look, I wish it would apply to a lot of the firearms in game, some more of the choppers (like the Hind-a-like in Roy Coolings arc, which looked epic) and stuff.

It's a new one - it's parked around the corner from Statesman's boat.

Poor Lusca won't know what hit her 
I hope they clean up that gun barrel. Right now it looks kind of silly as a giant stick poking out. But it's still Beta and all that, yadda yadda...

Why get rid of the mobs?|

It'd just be for zone flavor, but I think it'd add some color to IP. |
If it's level 50 content (no idea if it is or not), then the mobs don't matter.

1) New Praetoria-related high-level thing.
2) New arc for 20-30.
Most zone additions for the past few issues seem to fall into one of those two categories.
"Bombarding the CoH/V fora with verbosity since January, 2006"
Djinniman, level 50 inv/fire tanker, on Victory
-and 40 others on various servers
A CoH Comic: Kid Eros in "One Light"
Isn't there something in the lore about IP being the site of a big Pearl Harbor type event involving Nemesis during that dimension's version of WWII?
Anyways, agree that it's nice to see IP getting at least a few new features that help differentiate the zone.

The Nemesis event was either the early to mid-'30's (that's player favorite Brass Monday, from the novel The Web of Arachnos) or just after World War II (that's the Emperor of the Americas storyline commemorated on the Academic series plaques and a loading screen tip and involving the poison gas used by a lot of Nemesis enemies).
