Thanks! The Diamondback's canopy looks great!

 

[Xious]

I just don't see the point of the Diamondback...

 

[Bain]

Cheaper than an Asp, but similar armaments and range, but smaller hold. Also quicker than an Asp.

Pretty much that. And good hardpoints placement it seems.

But noooo, people want moar bigships, moar speed, moar money...

In the PowerPlay, I can see the potential of this ship exactly as mentioned in the ship description in the Shipyard. Recon and combat exploration in the inhabited space. Missions like "Fly 150 Ly in system XYZ, kill the guard ships, scan planet ABC and come back ASAP". Things like that...

Good idea to create this thread. Hope to see many pictures

Perfect for me , I own an asp , but I prefer small ships

 

[mwohrlin]

Wow. That looks awesome. Cant wait til release.

 

[Klab]

Thanks for the pics, gives us noobies some idea of the powerplay mechanics

 

[Lord_Itchybum]

I'm so excited I could crush a grape!!

 

[Vall Forran]

Oh man. The simple addition of progress bars toward your next rank made me swoon.

 

[Cowboy Bats]

Hi, thought I post some screenshots of 1.3 (Mac version) for those who have no access to beta.

Thanx a lot mate! Really appreciate that!

 

[Eminor]

Thanks for posting. Hmmm, looks like the manual might need updating...

Oh and that powerplay thing looks awesome.

 

[BorakRed]

Looks awesome. Thanks for the pictures. have some Rep. I'm looking forward to this update.

 

[Kancro Vantas]

Excellent job on the pictures. Thank you soo very much. People have been so infatuated with the Diamondback that nobody had addressed or at least showed us the whole PowerPlay aspect of the update. Really looking forward to it and hoping that my system remains independent and free!!

I am away on a work trip and will not be home until 2nd week of June. This thread is a life-saver. Thank you Ozrix84!

The Courier cockpit reminds me of the cockpit of either a Mi-24 Hind or a Mig-15. I admit the Courier actually looks really cool, might get one myself.
