Hmmm....Well, I think that Bottman wouldn't have the Jumbo Javelin if it wasn't going into SS08. Maybe they let him have it as a thankyou, but since he's said "It will be available for the masses" I'm starting to wonder if Beta Testing is happening.
Only time will tell.....
Jack.
p.s. been doing some detective work!
translated what Bottman said in the German forum!
It hasn't turned out 100% correct, since its Google Translator, but i thought i'd try it and got these results.
"Man, this is a whole bouquet of questions!
So, you can just bridge deck and the main perpetrators. And of course the back and Schanz. Drive? Correctly suspected! In the original, the boat an retractable pod and two bow thrusters.
When? Hopefully soon! As written, there are still some fine-tuning required.
The loading and unloading is done, unfortunately, as by magic, or in other words, the vacuum tower will be sent to and from the deck gebeamt. The cranes are not taxable. Other specialized cargo is not yet available.
I like the ship is therefore very good, because it was modeled very realistically. I think the "Jumbo Javelin" still ticking even better than the "Elbe", so even the reflections on the bridge windows have been also many details on the bridge. And this drive is relatively large ship is also very good. Only the Podantrieb is only taxable on the mouse - and this is not always possible. But also because exercise makes the Masters, especially since the main drive already has sufficient power.
Wait worth it!

Obviously some of it dosen't make sence, but either way, thats basically what is happening!
And more translations of text further down:
"Well, there's no doubt that the "Jumbo Javelin" on the next ship at The Shipyard will belong! We create even the first missions to do so.
Gruß"
Again, some of it hasn't been translated perfect.
I'm starting to get excited!
Jack.
