As the head of warranties for Altea, I can say that the XR-2 MKII is dead with certainty. I really wanted it to come and it was really close, but alas it will not be.

Unfortunately the XR2 Mk II is indeed dead (I don't have the model).
However, concepts for an XR0 (which will fit in the XR5's cargo bay), an XR3 (larger than the XR2) and an XR4 (a cargo vessel smaller and sleeker than the XR5) are being modeled by Woo482, Loru, and Epsilon, respectively, so there will be more XR vessels in the future.
an XR-4? is that like an XR with a Space Shuttle like cargo bay?
Not sure about the tug, but if we do one it would be named something else, like "XR-Tug" or something.
Somewhat; Loru and I are still talking about it, but basically it will be larger than the XR2 and carry a number of standard XR2-sized cargo modules (the bay would probably be two modules wide and X modules deep).
Nothing like blasting into space with SCRAM engines roaring! Well... more of a whining sound than a roar, but you get my point.:facepalm:
