So..which ship is Elite's Millennium Falcon?
- Thread starter Black Ops
- Start date
The Clipper is WAY too pretty to be the MF.
The Milennium falcon is the MIllenium Falcon of Elite.
You're just looking in the wrong galaxy, and it was a long time ago.

No way a Cobra is the size of the Falcon.
Here's a 1:1 replica of the Cobra:

I suspect the Anaconda is much closer... similar in width but longer than the MF. It might be best to think of the MF as a Anaconda-ish sized ship with Cobra-like roll and pitch rates.

The Cobra is larger than the Millenium Falcon, according to these numbers.

For me the Asp is like the Serenity AND the MF of Elite.
I get the cobra is the fastest. But Asp, nicely kitted, you have it ALL!!! You can have the best jump, have a refinery, have a mining laser, have cargo, have multicannons, have pulse lasers, have beam laser, cargo and kill warrant scanners, chaff/point defense, Scanners, and even interdictor drive. Seriously? You can have it all!
Any bigger ship can have that, but automatically loses landing on outposts. And yes, Pythons are bigger, but good luck fitting them like this, and keep a 30 Ly range. So no, Python doesn't do the trick.
Also, Asp might not be the most feared ship in combat, but you know what's funny? Is never regarded as an easy opponent, or a piece of cake, not even for Annies. That's remarkable.
Another feature is that you don't need to be filthy rich to own one. Just a regular joe who worked to own it, cause it is not either acquired within one week of play. (averaging 2-3 hrs a day, I made it after a month!)
Finally, is a big ship in terms of capacity if you go by the scale. Seems like it has at least three decks, with some nice quantity of quarters/rooms for the crews and whatever else needed.
Is for all those traits that I think the Asp might easily compare to the MF and/or Serenity.

It isn't all about dimensions though. Check mass, payload, range etc. There may be a scaling issue between the two franchises but as much as I love the Cobra, it really is one of my favourite ships, the Asp is closer to the specs of the MF. Sorry.

You sir are wrong. I'm not a confident smuggler yet but I still do it and I have witnessed plenty of others doing it too.
The Falcon is not a Corellian corvette. That was the ship Princess Leia is in at the start of Episode 4.
The Falcon is a heavily modified YT-1300 freighter as others have said.
I think the Falcon could reasonably considered to be any of the following:
1. Cobra - main thing is that the Cobra can't carry as much
2. Asp - main issue is that it's a bit too slow
3. T-6 - actually a freighter, but would need to be modified beyond what is currently allowed in the game to match the Falcon's performance.
On a semi-related note, it would be cool if the game would let us overclock components at the expense of extra power draw or reliability.
The Asp isn't slow. It's not as fast as the top ships like the Cobra, Clipper, Fer deLance or Viper, but it is at least as fast as the Vulture. 390+ boosts aren't beyond it.
It also has a fantastic jump range.
That is slow relative to the Falcon. It's speed was comparable to fighters.
The Asp is faster than the Eagle (X-Wing? A-Wing?), Sidewinder and as fast as the Vulture (which is probably closest to the TIE Defender). It's slower than the Viper, but it compares well with what could be called a 'fighter'.
For myself, it is so obviously the Python. Yeah she's big and armed to teeth, but the way she rolls around the rocks, the chemistry is just there. Can't help it.
Don't forget the Vulture. The Asp is as fast as the Vulture.
From the ED Wiki page:
Vulture
Top Speed 210 m/s
Boost Speed 340 m/s
Asp
Top Speed 250 m/s
Boost Speed 340 m/s
Is the vulture not a fighter?

That's wonderful news. Do you mean smuggling or scooping salvage, stolen goods and bulletin board missions?
When I say smuggling, I'm referring to trading in prohibited goods for profit as an occupation.
Hope to hear from you soon

Oh I see.
I beg your pardon good sir.
