New ship: Panther Clipper
- Thread starter Rubbernuke
- Start date
PC2 like the Nostromo?Basically the Panther Clipper 2 model is the Nostromo
This is a recently digitally reimagined landing scene from Alien and the similarities are unmistakable:

Sorry, but totally different. The only similarity to me is they are large chunky ships that move ore about.
True. Also: fire in the cockpit could be such a nice game loop addition as the interiors for cockpits and bridges are present on all Elite ships.Basically the Panther Clipper 2 model is the Nostromo

Please no.
FDev, please don't listen to this.
One of the defining characteristics of this forum are the stalwarts who carry forth the battles, their impetus, the comfort of their presence.
Losing their drive, in exchange for something as flimsy as new gameplay features, much demanded content and improvements, only damages the forums!
Think about it:
Rubbernuke is now only a shadow of who he was.
Bigmaec's fight is also over.
Who will be next? Amigacooke?
No!
We don't want this. I speak for EVERYONE, including those who disagree!
And please, no MacOS!
Ahem
FAS Crossfire
C+P
Justice for Asp Scout and/or the introduction of a new Asp terror ship.
I'm just warming up....scuttles back into FD ventilation duct
Oh, I would like to see an outrageously expensive early alpha access for some landable ELW DLC with some copy-pasted plants and dinos.
It would be hilariously crappy and that would be OK - for me.
But I can imagine the outrage:
"Wooot, too expensive!"
"Lol, there's a flying tree!"
"Meh, there's a tree growing trough my ship!"
"Muh, that left front foot of that dino does not touch the ground!"
"Booo, FPS are low on my 10 year old smartphone!"
"Nah, them dinos don't even react to me. And I'm important! How dare they ignore ME!?"
There is also the very valid point that ELWs would add little to no game play.
It's a bit like ship interiors.
They would be nice to look at, but you would have to have meaningful game play loops as well - without destroying any of the QoL that e.g. the current automatic repair sytems and reboot sequence offer.
There are various games with ship interiors and meaningful gameplay. For example Wildgate. There's also concept art by Fdev in the ED Digital Art Book. Braben described gameplay mechanics years ago.

Well..we are ALL allowed our opinions, and that's mine.
I'm pretty happy I have more time to fly around in my PANTHER CLIPPER instead of haunting the Forums lobbying for the PANTHER CLIPPER.
Ahem...
Old habits die hard.
Then you'll get the need for a Crossfire Panther Mk2.
Gonna try my luck first with midnight black and chrome. But maybe I'm gonna lobby for some more PANTHER CLIPPER paint jobs like CROSSFIRE
We still need a Medium Saud Kruger
and
Some attention to Passenger Missions that never generate PMs to medium pads...
NPC passengers should disembark from the ship when you dock.
You can get ship interiors with lots of gameplay opportunities, which doesn't tread on current mechanics.
I don’t see what all the fuss is about. It doesn’t look any bigger than the Lakon Type 9.
Given my experiences with this company, I'd not make any bets on that.
