Which classic Elite ship would you most like to see as a playable in Elite: Dangerous? I've missed the Fer de Lance from the poll, as that's already on its way.

Boa (a slightly smaller but more advanced Python)

Cobra mk i (earlier model than the mk iii; slightly smaller, slower, clumsier and cheaper)

Gecko (small, cheap single pilot fighter - popular with pirates. Quick and agile)

Krait (small, fast, agile. No hyperspace)

Mamba (originally designed for racing - as fast as a viper but even more agile, but limited arms and very limited cargo)

Moray Star Boat (multi-role, probably midway between the Cobra and the Asp in size and capabilities - but with the added ability to explore underwater on planets. Of course in original Elite the underwater capabilities were only fluff, and I can't see them being implemented in E: D even if the ship was)

Shuttle (non-hyperdrive vessel for flitting around within a system - including planetary landings on behalf of larger ships)

Viper mk i (similar to the mk iii in role but slower than the modern ship so presumably much cheaper - the classic police ship)

I'd like to see star-ships with multiple decks and recreational elements like in Star Trek. Seriously.

There's no Mark II, only Mark I and Mark III (the Mk II was discontinued after the prototype proved faulty).

Yes; I only included ships that were in the original. The Wolf and a few others were added for some of the ports (I think for the Amiga, in that case?) but didn't make it to FE2 and FFE.

I also deliberately missed of the Thargoids, as they would/should never be standard buyable ships.

I guess a lot of people are missing the point. "Classic ELITE ship". ;)

I vote for a Krait but it has to look closely like the original, not like the Adder which isn't even remotely Adder-ish ;)

The Lynx as a playable with its 6000 tonnes cargo load? Wonder how long you'd have to save up for it ... never saw them moving quickly either! (In fact, I'm not sure I ever saw them move at all). And the LRC was even bigger. I guess they'd need to be equipped with shuttles, as they're too big to land or enter a station.

I wondered about an FE2 ship poll, but there would be too many options.

I'm abstaining from voting. I am utterly disgusted that the V2 is not in there. Yes, I get it, it was introduced after the first Elite. But, by far, this was my favorite ship by a distance. I could fight like an angry demon, fly 27LY VERY fast, make all sorts of ridiculous deadlines, and honestly, there was no ship that I couldnt take down. I actually went looking for big fights (more enemies) in that ship. The bigger the better as far as I was concerned.

Viper Mk II. Always and Forever.
