So . . . . Type 8 eh?

[amigacooke]

I'm not a fan of paying ARX for ships, but if Frontier made a Clipper that could retract its wings to land on a medium pad, called it the Clipper mkII ... I wouldn't be able to spend my ARX quick enough.

The Clipped Clipper?

 

[Bob McBobblehead]

I guess the chances of getting a ship based on Guardian tech like the SLF is very low.

Type 7 with a spoiler.

Ah, I see you know your FD well!

Alternately, rebranded Panther Clipper

That would be very popular i think.

 

[Profane_Pagan]

Till they show the design I'm just gonna imagine the panther clipper mini. Ohh it's majestic

Fun fact: That ship existed and its name was: Puma Clipper. https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Puma_Clipper

Type 7 with a spoiler.

Downside: Doesn't fit through the mail slot anymore.

The Type 7 is an ugly space bus. The Type 9 and 10 look too similar.

Why don't they release the Panther Clipper LX?

 

[Ozric]

I'm going for a top end Medium Combat/Hauler. So a hauler based but with Military slots so it can fit HRP on top.

 

[HRDiagram]

It will be in line with other misshapen ships, but with a revolutionary trait: it will be a large ship that can only land on medium pads.

 

[Agony_Aunt]

Why don't they release the Panther Clipper LX?

Because that wouldn't be a "variant"!

FD have got a theme going here! That is variants.

So, Cobra Mk5 when?

I'd like to see variants of ships that don't currently have one. I wonder what a Hauler or Sidewinder Mk.II would look like?

Asp Scout Mk2

 

[Rubbernuke]

Asp Scout Mk2

yes

 

[CMDR Daiyus]

Asp Scout Mk2

Haha, how much worse can it get? Although, wouldn't an improved Scout Mk.II just be an Asp Explorer? Nobody in their right minds buys an Asp Scout, which is why I use one for material gathering...

I think airframes that don't currently have multiple iterations are Sidewinder, Hauler, Adder, Type-7, Anaconda and the Imperial ships (not including the Eagle). In my head I count the FdL and Mamba as variants of each other.

 

[aRJay]

Hmm.
Anaconda mk2 like the mk1 but built out of normal materials, then shortened by 75 metres to get the jump range back.

I had the same thought about a redone iClipper to get it on a medium pad. They are joys to fly.

New T8 design leaked (yes, its the best thing since sliced bread)

I hope that supercruise overdrive is an indication that they’re thinking about ways of transport ships to avoid interdiction, and that we’ll get more toys along those lines

Asp Scout Mk2

I would love that if it meant I could engineer it to do 500+ boost while still having the size 4 PD with 2 small and 2 medium hard points. Might actually feel like a scout then.
