Hello players!
Alongside the Market Update I want to populate the Market with way more ships than you were used to. I'm going to show you a few Pictures Of whats to come, and you can see where this is going.
Explorers
Now the worst looking class of ships, Explorers would be replaced with a new Line of Ships.

A. The Saran, entry Level Explorer.
B. The Thrift, More equipped for Fast paced Movement
C. The Starling, with advanced Scanning Tech
D. The Broker, can handle combat pretty well, with disadvantages to Speed
E. The Thunk, with a big Th(r)unk to store many exploration Spoils
Est. Cost: 125$
Capitals
Long awaited, the Capital Ship Line will join the game along the Market Update line. We start off with just a few
A: The Aeon

The Aeon will be your capital friend while mining. Its massive cargo capacity and size makes a formidable base platform for any larger scale mining.
Mining
I have to announce that the Excavator and the Venturer will soon part ways with the ship lineup, and be replaces with three new Ships, which will be announced soon.
Trading
As trading plays a huge part in the next update, the Scaffolds and their super-ugly chamfers have to go.
Instead you get TWO new Trade Ship Lineups!
A. The Gradion

Being a Trader isn't easy. but the Gradion will easen this. Going For Speed in exchange for Cargo, the Gradion is an A+ Blockade Runner, capable of supplying remote Stations quickly.
B. The Brood

The Brood is a brutal showoff of "How many Cargo can you fit in a small ship". It has weak Armor, slow speeds, but carries immense amouints of Cargo.
Expected Cost: 75$
Builders
A new Ship Class! Builders prepare your Wing for building Structures, like Weapon Platforms, Stations, Tradelanes and/or Stargates. As they are not really important right now, I'll just Post the Pictures.

But Dex, how can we help getting these ingame?
Simple. Share the word about the game, Donate, or head to the Game Shop under http://shop.playsirius.com/shop/ and buy Stuff. Buy new Keys for your friends, Suggest the Game to sites like Polygon, Kotaku, RPS or other News Outlets you know.
Lets make Sirius big. Together.
