I was speaking with CCP Merovingian on Twitter recently, and he said that he's been working on some new cool things lately. He couldn't tell me exactly what they were, but he did give me their code names: "Unicorn", "Minotaur", and "Balrog". Any speculations? |

sounds like vehicles to me for some reason, then again code names wouldn't be much good if you could just figure them out from the name now would they. |

Amarr go for names like Punisher, Abadon, Redeemer, Inquisitor and other hyper religion themed names. |

My assumptions:
Minotaur - Minnie TAR - Combat rifle?
Or racial heavies, Minnie's are brown much like a Minotaur, I think the cal heavy has a bump on their helmet like a unicorn and the gal heavy gets a mythical likeness that just kinda fits the theme
Also, 3 nicknames... What is missing 3 variants? Not vehicles, scouts or the AR weapon categories |

We do know that there is a scrambler-type heavy weapon in development. Scrambler tech=amarr. |

Balrog sounds like an MTAC to me.
Unicorn and minotaur could be Amarr & Minmatar LAVs respectively. |

I'm inclined to guess Caldari/Gallente vehicles... like that AV tank or those bombers. I'm just jaded about new variants or art being introduced I suppose.
Balrog, Unicorn, Minotaur?
Well, the Greek mythology theme is already in-game, look no further than derpships: Gallente - Prometheus, Gorgon, etc. Unicorns are more iffy mythology-wise, and Balrogs are Tolkien.
I can't see them naming a bunch of ships after Tolkien stuff though, for copyright issues. I would think the Amarr would stick with religion-themed names as well.
Unicorns sound most like a speeder, in that they wouldn't carry more than one person comfortably, and the weapons would be minimal. However, the current naming scheme (Viper, etc.) has little to do with the capabilities of the beasts involved.
So, it could be anything, but I doubt it's new racial vehicles... just because I'm used to disappointment there. |

I'm betting Heavy dropsuits.
Unicorn = Caldari
Balrog = Gallente
Minotaur = Minmatar
Could just be blind hope, but it sounds plausible.

I like the sound of "Minotaur"
Hopefully it refers to the Minmatar Heavy or a Minmatar tank.

Perhaps it's long awaited jets?
Or maybe those speeder bikes we were promised?
What about the much wanted heavies?
Could it be more scouts?
Who knows?????
EDIT: just remembered we would be getting "mining mech suits" perhaps this is the "balrog"  |

I will place my bet on the three racial heavies. Gallente = unicorn as they will be this rare in game. Caldari = Minotaur because with very high shields they will just bull through everything. Minmatar = Balrog because the rust may resemble a flame pattern and there are scary looking. |

Based on naming conventions
Chances are Caldari would have the unicorn, Minmatar minotaur, Balrog is Gallente.
As for what? they're code names as far as I am concerned. |

I'd put my money on "unicorn" and "minotaur" being new Caldari-Gallente vehicles, seeing as how they have alot greek mythological names.
Likely the new bombers or AA LAVs, seeing as how those are reskins, and will likely come in 1.5.
I bet the "Balrog" is too, they may just not have released all the names of the new vehicles. |

Judging from this comparison, I would say its most likely the heavies, also compare the minmatar heavie to a Minotaur, kinda looks like a "Minotaur" |
