Oh goodness, Omnicom. That purple! So tasty.

Also gotta say, following my suggestion through the Caliburn concepts, your decision to include carbon-fibre elements to some of the other teams is refreshing.
In-universe, I imagine these teams are aware that a lot of unnecessary metallic parts will be heavy, so they're trying to cut down some of the weight for extra handling, knowing they can rely on the shields to protect those possibly more fragile parts.

Hurray!

One more question; how is Speed/Velocity (the latter including direction) being measured in Ballistic NG, KPH or M/S (the latter is the international scientific standard)?

It's KM/H like most racing games, I might add a MP/H option at some point in the future though.

To be honest, I'm not sure why m/s would need to be included in a racing game, despite being the SI unit. KM/H (and possibly a toggle to MPH) is much more relatable in everyday conversation anyway.

As for the High-Res, as long as it doesn't impact load times too much (not that it should necessarily), it'd be great to have that available.

Yeah it wouldn't affect load times at all, at least enough to actually be noticeable. Loading times will be no longer then the anniversary build, maybe just a bit longer because it has to load lightmapping from an external file.

I'm looking at another release between Christmas and early January which will feature all of the ships. Once Xpand has finished the last one I just need to balance everything, add a few things to the game and I'll be looking at releasing after that. You'll be able to play on Aciknovae, Luna and 0x001.

There. Not sure how you guys like it.

Some ways you could enhance the retro experience, in the form of optional post processing:

Making the game look more like it is on a CRT, with the options being toggleable for those who either just don't want it or who are playing on an <actual> CRT.

This look good for sure, I'm wondering how it will look in-game. Snake, you should try it if it's not too complicated.

And one more thing. I know it's early to say, but will there be any trailer, maybe after releasing all teams? I've got an idea that you can make trailer just about the racing league, that might be interesting.

Yeah I'm implementing graphics options now so I'll get to adding a CRT effect soon
I'm planning on a trailer, just need to get the high res textures from Xpand so I can show off the teams in their full glory. Let me know what you've got in mind for a trailer, I plan to make a couple of the course of the game's development.
