I think OP is pretty realistic in his expectations. Personally I don't care much about Belugas or other sea mammals in my snake pit (which doesn't mean I don't want them in the game, I just don't look forward to buying them myself). The ships I hope most for (Krait, Boa, Moray Starboat) probably won't be this season. The Moray I don't even expect to see until we can "land" on water planets in some future season.

Speak for yourself. We need more ships. Specifically, more exploration ships. There are only 2 real options right now for spending weeks to months out in the black. More options in that area would give us more opportunity to find the aliens
Agreed. I hope to be out exploring in the next couple of months and going by the hints by the Devs, it's going to be dangerous out there. Which means shields and weapons. This limits the choice even further in my opinion. I would have liked to take the Diamondback Explorer, but lack of internal slots rules it out in my mind. This for example, has no AFMU.Speak for yourself. We need more ships. Specifically, more exploration ships. There are only 2 real options right now for spending weeks to months out in the black.

Well I've been out there whit DBE whit shield but didn't take AFMU and went till 58000ly whitout took any damage so I don't think so u need that but because of the limitations in internals Fuel Scooping was a pain in a**!
By myself as well hoping more explorer ships but don't forget jump range not everything after 1000 -1500 ly u can easily found stars which hasn't been scanned yet.the reason behind that everyone rushing into Deep space so they left out a lots of system/stars and I mean that.my closest scan was 1245ly from the bubble made at October so not just jump range matter like I made a Explorer Phyton which has a range of 549 ly whitout scooping but jump range was only 22ly.(far enough for most of the stars except if u want to go on the edge)

Well, if it can transport something like 1000 tons and is tough target to kill quickly unlike T9 and especially T7... I could foresee it being fairly expensive. At the moment, biggest combat ships cost roughly ~190 mils. Well, I´m calling Cutter a combat ship, which isn´t exactly true but there you have it. I would expect price of max 200 millions, unless it can carry significantly more than 1000 tons. At 2000 tons I wouldn´t be surprised if it cost 500 mil to get just the hull and basic E fit.

What would be the jumprange?10-12 ly or less??
Yes, we really do need more choices for exploration. But I don't expect to see this huge gap addressed during Season 2, or anytime soon for that matter. Exploration just doesn't seem to be a priority for FDev, I mean they still believe that the DBE is a good explorer (small scoop and lack of internals says otherwise). Maybe now that Ed Lewis flew out to Beagle for the DWE we'll see some developer action on this matter? :S
So, what ships do I expect to see yet in season 2? More combat ships, of course....[sad]
The range of the old Panther was just over 8 ly. So if they stay true to form, they will probably give any new one a similar range, which would not be enough in my view. Unless of course we can tweak our engines into double figures with the help of The Engineers. Personally, I'm not interested in wasting time, driving around on the surface, hoping to find some magical ingredient to 'enhance' the fuel. The Engineers will have the answer, or if not, I shan't bother with it.

Absolutely. Since ED launched I have wanted to fly a Starboat down to a water world and go exploring the deep

And I will arm it and and fly it and call it Nautilus... or maybe George
Yeah i guess 8ly wouldn't be enough for anything to do AKA corvette....that's the reason why I'm not going for it and so T9 has around 11ly so I guess it will be pretty similar or around but 8 is just plain ridiculous....I think better off with IC!
