The next ship to be added. Which one should it be?
- Thread starter W4rSkuLL
- Start date
Panther clipper, fed corvette, and boa in that order for me. We need more big ships. As much as I love my conda I want a bigger ship 
This looks like a large version of the Imperial Fighter.

Tell me what you see starting 00:48
Answer below, don't check
It IS a Condor exiting an Anaconda's belly
So i am hoping that The Hunter and the F63 Condor will be in an iOS/mobile game where we can play as an officer of one of the major powers navys, flying one of these in combat zones. Would drive sales of the main game. Could influence the outcomes of conflicts. Would be a great fix while at work
WE could modify the ship, rank up choose which conflict we were involved in. Could be awesome! You know it makes business sense to look at it FDev!!!

Its a feature that will come. I guess we will be able to launch Sidewinders, Condors or Hunters. I am looking forward to the day I can launch my brother in a Condor out of my future Anaconda or Federal Corvette. As in launching another commander in a fighter out of a capital ship. First we would be able to walk around the bridge overseeing the battle then I can launch him out, or myself. Or even launch both and the ship steers it self on autopilot. Maybe a dream to far away
The challenge with the Corvette is that they have to push it far enough up the Fed rank structure to make it "exclusive" and "only for the true Federalists, not twinky pickers"... But that means a whole load of development resource spent on a ship that by design, only a fraction of the players will reach within weeks, if at all?
Much as I think the concept that was "accidentally" sneak peeked too early looked great; I get the feeling the really big ships will be a couple of expansions away. Also, can you imagine paying half a billion credits for a Corvette and then having your powerplant sniped by a Vulture?
I'd love to see the Panther, so long as the hard point placements give it a chance to be defensive as a trader and not a floating cashpoint for pirates!

I need a new ship to trade in for my half a billion Anaconda....Federal Corvette please.....with ship loading bays for the Anaconda and Corvette too please.
The Lifter.
How about the python class cruiser? Slightly larger and faster than a standard python with signature shark teeth decals available from the FD store?
W/o that option I voted for the Boa (classic hopefully).

I want the military Constrictor from the original Elite, not the wimpyer one from Frontier... And I want the Krait!
As NPC-only ships, we need to see the Lynx Bulk Carrier, and the Long Range Cruiser... both should be able to do a bit more than hang around outside space stations by now..

I selected 2...wait..or did I?
Well just incase.
Give me the Panther Clipper! That's my #1 choice.
Second..Thargoids.

The Constrictor is another fine ship I forgot in the poll
I am betting we will see The Panther Clipper and the Federal Corvette in the next round. And the hunter and Imperial Cutter is also 2 options. But I really hope for Thargoids, yes THARGOIDS The poll seems to favor the clipper and the federal corvette, and yes Thargoids 
Federal Corvette got my vote, although... I'd love a Python variant that's faster. I'd give up all my cargo space and a hardpoint for a Python with high top speed and better pitch speed.
I've said it once, I'm saying it now and no doubt I'll be saying it many more times. I want ALL the original Elite ships in the game. I don't care if they don't have a unique role and loadout options eg a Gecko is an alternative look to the Sidewinder.
I just won't be happy until I'm flying around in a Krait! I didn't choose my username for nothing damn it!
