It looks like the lower delta wings could rotate!?!? I don't know why they'd want to do that though.

All engines look the same. Guess it's all vacuum engines now.

Landing legs are at the ends of the delta wings. Will look like a 1950's rocket landing!

Some sort of shielding around the engines. Not sure what that'd be for.

Original window is back!!!

Something near the nose of the ship. I was thinking solar panel deployment but it's hard to see in the small picture. Maybe another wing, maybe rcs.

Giant cargo door. Probably for docking too.

EDT: now has 7-8 floors instead of 5. Stretching confirmed.

EDT 2: I worry about how "complicated" this version is compared to the previous design, but if the wings are actively moved during flight as a control surface then this could actually be a really elegant solution.
