depends as always what people will pay.
the disruption 07 went for sub-£400 so i'd have stuck the clan 07 in the same (£400)bracket.

Alien Independance is Finally offically released.
At a cost of $799 the "Standard" Independence is equiped with a single gun-drilled 12.5" Alien Invasion barrel. In addition to the barrel the marker ships with two frames - an *85 and a *45 frame.
For $899, the "Premiere" Independence will ship with the MayDay Barrel Kit. This kit consists of three 7-inch barrel backs sized .686, .689, .692, plus a seven inch carbon fiber tip.
According to Alien Paintball, it is widely accepted that a paintball reaches its maximum velocity in the first 7 inches of a barrel - so why have a barrel back that is shorter? Best efficiency is achieved with a solid homogenously bored back of 7inches... then to achieve as light a barrel as possible Alien has provided a 7-inch carbon fiber tip.
Like its slightly more humble brother, the "Premiere" Independence also ships with two frames - *85 and *45.
The Hyperdrive board from HyperDrive PB powers the Independence. The rumor on these boards is that they are the Lucky PB NME/Alien boards; HyperDrive's owner is the old Marketing/Sales guy for Lucky and he's revived some of the Lucky product line at Hyperdrive PB. These boards best the venerable Equalizer boards with improved eye logic, more modes (Millenium is included!), and are of course finely tuned to the Independence's operation.
The Independence Manual says that the marker requires practically "no maintenance". Alien RECOMMENDS that you do not dissasemble at all AND - do not place oil/lubricant into the air line. When you're done playing, simply de-gass, wipe down the marker and put it back into your bag until your next day of play. The only maintenace item is putting some syntehtic oil on the ram shaft per the manuals directions - no tools necessary.
Visit AlienPB.com to view additional photos and color combinations for the marker. Below is a full feature list for the marker:
http://www.alienpb.com/pages/products.html
Cost - will range from $799 with a single Invasion barrel (gun-drilled) and stock Hyperdrive board to $899 with an enhanced Hyperdrive and a 3-piece barrel kit with carbon fiber front.
Electronics - Wicked Air Sportz' Equalizer board will no longer be used- the new Hyper Drive board will come with Millenium code and custom ramping capabilities, enhanced battery life with the MAC solenoid (enhanced reliability and speed with the MAC at slightly less battery life), and resolves the rare issue of the eyes sensing the bolt as a paintball (as seen in the WAS Equalizer boards)
Cam-lock feedneck - in addition to the height of the clamping neck a hopper’s neck sinks into the gun for a total ¾” tall feed neck - more than is visible on the outside.
2008 Sweep Bolt - Alien Introduces the "SofTouch Bolt" Sweep Bolt.
Frames – the marker will ship with two frames – a 45 and an 85!!!
Rail – integrated rail
ASA – marker will ship with a bottom-line on/off
LPR – Bigger lpr than what is found on the Remains – a bigger piston for more consistent pressure. The air chamber behind the LPR is twice as big as what was found on the remains
Grips – Lexan (art to be determined) - no more aluminum grips - custom rubber grips to be available after the marker launches
Screws – 3 screws keep the frame and body together (as opposed to the previous 5)
Rammer – piston has two bumpers one on each side of the hammer - this is the "SofTouch Hammer". All holes/air passages have been redone, o-ring-related issues have been addressed. In addition to the body interlocking with the trigger frame screws attach Alien's modular designed "Independent Ram" housing to both the Trigger frame and gun body - these screws the rammer to the body now go all the way through the body (that’s what eliminated 2 screws) and provides additional strength/stability. Ram cap seals better than before (note: the ram cap on Alien's is different than what is commonly found on timmies/ego/NME, etc - and does not perform the same function).
Eyes – green "lazer" eyes, eye harness has a connector in the middle to aid in disassembly of the marker
Trigger – Critical Paintball Dual-bearing. Pin that holds the trigger in is a screw-in pin, not the friction pin of old.
Barrel – 1 barrel for the lower price, and for around a $100 more you get a 3-piece barrel kit with a 7" carbon fiber front with 7" aluminum backs at .686, .689, and .692 bores.
Cool distinctive packaging
Colors – Red, Green, Blue, Gold, Black, with accents in all colors - first accents will be in black and gold.
HPR – Alien Reg - design utilizes a spring pack. Tentatively titled the "Alien Air Force"
