I could be mistaken but I think they mentioned that besides the SCO optimization there will still be something else that’s special about it.

Efficient mining is not using a lot of limpets. Granted you need enough. And to be able to power 3 mining lasers.

I disagree. With 2 mining lasers I still end up waiting after depletion for 10 limpets to complete their job. Therefore, there's no point having a third mining laser unless I can have at least another 5 limpets.Efficient mining is not using a lot of limpets. Granted you need enough.

Improving efficiency is all about identifying the critical path or bottleneck. In ED mining that's almost always collection, not lasers.
Perhaps you should watch the video
I've done a lot of mining; I've developed my analysis and methods myself. I don't think I have anything to learn by watching videos about it. (And I don't like "learning" games by watching videos).
If you think there's anything in the video which invalidates my arithmetic above, feel free to tell me how I've slipped up.
Hi 
...Hmm, not bad at all, I've also noticed some of the detailing favours the '8 figure', for example, eight thrusters / engines, eight 'lights' (four each side of cockpit), eight front 'nacelle' detailed objects, (maybe a combination of lights / weapon hardpoints ?), a few other features (at the moment) that could point to eight cargo racks, (again four rectangles placed each side on hull sponsons ?).
In any event, what specific role this ship plays or favours in the game (if any) is generally not known at the moment, as is it's specific internal / external module slots etc.
I get the impression that this ship might be a 'fast' trader going by the recent livestream information, but....
...anyhow, it's an interesting design.

But do you have the skin of the custard?
It's an ugly looking ship, but I like it.
FDev can give it a good jump range, since the poor cockpit view makes it a bad exploration ship.
The design of these next gen ships is excellent. Love the new vision for it.
Lakon already produced a medium-sized combat hauler (Keelback), and presumably this ship is outclassed in hull and capacity by the type 9 and 10, so maybe a dedicated mining ship? The game needs one of those imo. If it can double as an explorer, even better.
Better yet, a salvage ship? New gameplay incoming?

Planetside, it looks as if it can jump and stomp the enemies to death. In any case, nice ship!
O7,
O7,
Aesthetics-wise it's the perfect pirate/mercenary ship; but also the perfect miner/tug/construction ship.
At least FD had the decency to flip the ship upside down!
Not the first time either, the Krait 2 is an upside down Vulture.
i'm sure the big guys in their respective companies are mates irl. they supported each other during the kickstarter as well.
For myself it does have something of the Abyss about it.
