That's probably the boat that takes you to the other side of IP on a scenic tour.
Wonder if it's full of sea men.
What, someone had to do it.

Shouldn't it be 'Seapersons' to be Politically Correct?

Our mysterious ship also appeared in the COH Facebook page. Here's a closeup on the screen:
It seems to be on an instanced mission (see all the objectives in the compass) near a structure with a lot of radio antennas on top.
Edit: after playing with brightness/contrast on the mission title a lot, my best guess is that it says "Investigate the Praetorian base overseas". The original picture is in Facebook here.

This is what 3700 heroes in a single zone looks like.
Thanks to @EnsonsDeath for the GVE code that made me VIP again!
Maybe we join a fleet to attack a loyalist forward base out at sea? Or maybe we have to stop loyalists from sabotaging a fleet?
EDIT: I so totally called the offshore Praetorian base

What IP really needs is a direct ferry to PI
What IP and Nerva both need is a way to the other end of the zone.

I'm not sure but it looks like this guy is warming up to eat his burger by practicing the burger to mouth motion over and over. Sort of like stretching before you do your pilates.
I am amused.

I wonder if that desk is the cleanest desk in Paragon Studios. It just seems abnormally tidy.

Can't speak for IP, but on the I20 Sneak Peek, the Black Helicopter now has Nerva North (just south of the Longbow Base) and Nerva South (existing place) as well as Grandville North (South Side of the Fab) and South (existing place).

The offshore Praetorian base also fits in with an earlier suggestion I made for higher level loyalist stormtrooper content based around trying to sabotage the Primal Earth war effort against Tyrant.
An offshore base, if it was big enough, could be an actual island zone, used for both a raid setting for us to fight the Praetorians, but also as the setting for higher level loyalists contacts - like it could be the next stage of the Praetorian jounrey - at 20 you go to primal Earth, but at, say, 30, stormtroopers could be contacted by Tyrant and sent to the offshore base/island to disrupt the opposition to the invasion.

While I was aware you were teasing me I wasn't sure if you knew about the names of our naval enlisted ranks which can get confusing. There are 5 basic ratings|

Seaman - Deck and Admin
Airman - Aviation
Fireman - Engineering
Hospitalman - Medical/Dental (In 2005 the Dental rating was merged with the medical rating)
Constructionman - Seabees
I hoped you might find it a useless but interesting piece of trivia.
What's long and hard and full of seamen?

Maybe its a new Taskforce to attack the island fortress of the mad scientist, Dr Moreau, after he releases the Animal Pack on the world.

Looking forward to some sweet textures on that spiffy ship!
