Ships and the new fed assault ship

Did anyone else notice this shocking similarity between the two?
A large part of me wants this to be the big gamescon revelation.

I have to agree, I don't see any similarity other than both being hatches. The shapes are quite different.

That said, in theory the Anaconda should be able to carry small fighters, and the Dropship is certainly large enough to fit a Condor or Sidewinder. There's still hope that this will finally implemented someday in the game…

This is the fed assault ship, not the drop ship.
Also I'm trying really hard to see how these are completely different shapes. One is a gentle square with two cut corners and four parts that stick out attached to hydraulics. The other is a gentle square with two cut corners and four parts that stick out on the sides.
 
Eddie Symmons on the Gamescom stream event hinted at such a thing. He basically said on the new Federal Gunship, look closely at some part at the bottom back, and think about what it could be used for. :D
Yay, there's hope still. Thanks for the info, gonna check out the stream.
 
Maybe it's capable of dropping your buggy off and returning to SC on its own only to scoop you up on the move??
Think Mako drop in Mass Effect and the Scoop up in Firefly series.

I take the fly in supercruise bit from the Dev comment about your ship being able to fly itself to safety if you are a certain distance away and it's attacked, I took liberties :D
