So, what's the roof hatch for?

[DjVortex]

Wanted to separate this from the announcement thread, which is just gone bonkers.

So, what do you guess it's for? Is it merely cosmetic, or will it have some new functionality?

That's the cloaking device.

 

[SlickPBW]

It’s a moon roof.

It’s a moon roof.

Cheers, it was right there and I missed it.

EVA confirmed.

EVA confirmed.

For unwanted multicrew...

This ship will subvert our expectations: it will land "upside down", and that hatch is the actual exit.

 

[Bob McBobblehead]

S Class weapon slot.

 

[aRJay]

Somewhere to put passengers who try and talk to the ships crew.

 

[Rainbro]

Fighter hangar? Weird place for it but that was the one thing the Python couldn't do. Gotta cram it in somewhere.

 

[DYSEQTA]

S Class weapon slot.

Only available to those who purchase the ship for ARX.

I'll be disappointed if the Python Mk-II turns of to be a combat focused ship.

 

[aRJay]

I'll be disappointed if the Python Mk-II turns of to be a combat focused ship.

But it seems to be good at causing trouble already.

Salt scoop. After all there will be quite some of that stuff when you obliterate everybody in open with your P2W machine coming 7th of May

I'll be disappointed if the Python Mk-II turns of to be a combat focused ship.

They pretty much suggest that would be the case.

 

[Rubbernuke]

Looks like a grill. Long range burger van?

 

[Leadfoot]

If there are several small holes in the top, salt shaker.

Maybe a sunroof… so this hatch is the reason my character wears eclipse grade shades to protect his eyes from the multitude of stars that frequently shine upon him.

It's the heat exhaust for the FSD OC functionality that will be embedded in Python Mk2
For other ships you have to buy a special FSD OC, but the Mk2 will have the OC embedded and it will work with any FSD mounted on the ship

Jokin ofc

So you have a place to make the landlubbers walk the plank.
That or so you can clean the gutters.
