I don't remember seeing any full ships, but apparently there is some pathfinder hardware though

> This is a very interesting find. A pathfinder barrel, presumably for the next Ship revision, and it has quite a few noticeable changes.

>- Note that it being a shorter ring section doesn't necessarily mean the production build will, as this is a manufacturing pathfinder, though it could be the case. (The current payload bay section is 5 rings tall)
>- The dispenser cutout is on a ring seam, as opposed to a solid ring. This means it moved, probably lower, on the payload bay.
>- The access hatch is directly below the dispenser cutout, rather than being 2 rings below, on the forward dome section.
>- The dispenser cutout is rounded instead of angular, which better matches the more modern reinforcement on the Ships.
>- The tile pins are the standard size, rather than the tiny ones. The tiny ones will be on specific areas, as there have already been pathfinders showcasing this.
>- There is a rounded cutout to the right of the door, which matches the Chopstick lifting points on the nosecone. Could this maybe indicate it's moving lower?

>These are just some quick observations. Fun to see, to be sure.
