Perhaps that ship concept is getting called something else and is one of the 5 extras?

Yep, you are
No, you're not.
The Elite Original FdL was smaller in displacement than the Cobra, but had 12 crew(?!?) and was basically a luxury yacht with hard points. Lots of speed, lots of aggression, Hull like rice paper.
Still, there was a lot of love for the vessel, and I guess it would be hard to live up to everyone's expectations at once, but I'd have preferred another design philosophy from ZP. Let's see how it plays out in game though.
The ship looks quite big to me when you look at the cockpit. I'd guess somewhere around ASP size but probably smaller.
Gotta agree, that concept is way better looking, it also breaks the usual "slick curve lines" of the other ships.
I don't like it.
It looks too much like the [Hauler if that is the way it's going to turn out.
I would prefer it to look something like it's older self in this other concept art....

I don't know why some of you think its small, look at the cockpit. It looks similar to Python size
I like it - very pretty ship.
Would prefer it without the lower/rear wings though...

this is obviously what they ended up modifying to make the Farragut-class capital ships for the fed.... The "possible" part within its filename is even user-added. Not once do I recall FD putting this design forward as the FdL. Something vaugely similar in design style (manufacturer oriented) but not THIS ship.
Been waiting for the f-d-l. I'm a (possibly the only?) big fan of the hauler, and seeing that concept - looks meaty. Like it.
It is definitely pretty.
My guess is about the wingspan of the Cobra and twice the displacement - perhaps 80T if stripped out?
A large weapon slot on the bottom and two mediums on the top. Fits a class 4 Hyperdrive, a class 5 Power plant, and can mount a class 5 shield
Speed, firepower, and enough cargo capacity to make a pirate very rich

My exact sentiments. I hate that they butchered my all time favorite ship. It looks NOTHING close to what this iconic ship should look like. This thing does not deserve the name.
doesnt look like its big enough for a cockpit if the gold screen is what the cockpit actually is.. maybe its just for your R2 unit?

A Zorgon Petterson Group (Zee Pee Gee) designed vessel favoured by well-heeled bounty hunters and freewheeling business corporations. A sophisticated craft, capable of both limited trading, combat and leisure function. The spacious hull is mainly given over to sophisticated weaponry, defences and navigation equipment at the expense of cargo capacity. Cabin accommodation is large and luxurious with extensive Owndirt Inc. recycling facilities, encouraging extended live-in periods (useful whilst pursuing a quarry). Fuel scoop is a standard fitting, ensuring complete self-sufficiency.

The Anaconda has the large bridge that you sit in and then a small nav-deck just on the bottom of the nose!
They're already calling it a copy of Avenger, on one other forum...
That's ridiculous. The Avenger is a Viper. Same shape size and role.
I don't like the look of this new Ferdy. The "windows" are just about there on the top, but it's not long or pointed enough.
