Mike, yea, teeth decal:

Guessed it might've been you voting for the FdL.... Mind you... if the new one looks like the concept art then it's a much better looking ship than the original lump of....

I always thought the FDL was a smaller python.

New one looks nowt like that.

As much as we need more cannon fodder like the Krait to shoot at I'd rather get my grubby mitts on the Fer-de-Lance.

aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAA-YA! *kraitslap*

We want Krait and we won't wait!

This is a Krait, isn't it?

Krait, yes ( but can I have the supa dooper Millenium Falcon from OOlite and the Blakes Seven ship too ? Thought not. )

 

[Adam Lusardi]

OK since I'm the only one that voted enough ships already I will explain BBC version didn't have many and all I want is an escape pod and Ironman mode.

Certainly looks like a Krait, yes!

 

[Anopheles]

I'd love it, but it's been discounted I think, because it doesn't fit in with the Space Sweden setting DBOBE wants.

We need more iconic, low-end cheese wedges!

Indeed! The fewer polygons the better. Maybe I'm demented but I really love the old school look of many of the ships (even as I love the curves on the Imp. Clipper). They remind me of ships you'd find in Flatland if Flatland were written 100 years later and knew about video games and...wait, where's my coffee?

Wash your mouth out with soap!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll give you end of the line....

Krait was old in 1st encounters iirc. That being said I voted yes as I loved it. I would like to have news of a new ship appear in galnet followed by community missions to build a new shipyard then followed by the launch of the krait mk2....indeed IMO this is how ALL new ships from now on should be introduced. It would build hype following galnet and encourage community work esp if top contributors get a heavy discount.

WAY better than them simply appearing IMO

 

[Kid Firestorm]

The more ships the better I'd say. I'd never fly it but I want the choice.

 

[MikeSnos]

Regretting putting the FdL in as an option... Pointless since it's coming in 1.2...

Define "old"
It's a digital game...ships don't get old as such...not like my old 30yr old 990cc Ford Fiesta.
Old School Ship...yes.
Iconic Ship...yes.
Useful Ship...yes.
Lore Says It's Obsolete...big fat donkey pineapples!
Thoughts on the FDL...bothered.
