I like big thrusters and I cannot lie?

Not an explorer. We just had that with the Mandalay.
So? It seems like the Mandalay was quite the hit, so if it'll be available for credits from Feb. 26, it would make sense to strike the iron while it's hot and add a new Gutamaya explorer / multirole.
Of course, I could just be rationalizing while puffing some hopium. Reality has let me down once, and for all I know, this will be a Type-6.5 Transporter or an Alliance Croissant.

I'm in the market for another explorer. Mandalay will be a great replacement for my BDX bubble jumper, but for exploration that copy&paste Mamba cockpit with the small downward window doesn't cut it. This is why so far I'll rather kit the Cobra V as explorer. It's jumprange may be worse, but the cockpit might be better than the Phantom's. Not paying ARX for early access though.

Why would we need another explorer after the Mandalay and the multirole Cobra Mk V?
 
faster or instant ship transport

or the ability to change currently existing facilities and adding shipyards or outfitting

or those small, unmarked sites from the Horizons era that we used to be able to track down with the blue flashes on radar are going to be made accessible

also, we're all in agreement as a community that the symbol at the top is a reference to Frontier Unlocked and not me, and that the title isn't a reference to how I'm not a member of the FDEV development and community team anymore, like I got fired, right?
we're all in agreement about that, right? :unsure:

By the looks of it, the engine says Large Landing Pads, i.e. T-9 or IC respectively above

and the ship aesthetic really does say Imperial Cutter

but these guys here

seem naturally in position for a hangar while at the same time... a little too natural...

so, by process of elimination:

Oooh, everyone's speculating about a new ship, but what if it isn't?
