Ahem. I made a post stating just call the condor a Fed licensed krait. Seriously, look at the condor, then look at the original krait, the similarities are there to see, with some tweaks here and there.
Why is the new Krait so big?

It had a clear trading niche back when the price difference between a T7 and a Python meant there were weeks of time when one could afford the former, but not the latter, rather than hours.
I thought you'd be more kraitful.
On a serious note, I can't wait for this ship now!
This ship will be Krait.

Make Elite Krait again!
It will get better. FD employs some really Kraitive people.
That looks about right, if not a little on the small side. The fighter bay takes up the majority of the keelback, but the Krait's big enough to have the fighter bay significantly offset to the aft.
It doesn't matter anyways. All the ships are wrong. They're all 3d, not wireframes or simple polygons.
Not to go all off topic here, but I completely agree. The cargo hauling ships should be the largest per pad to naturally maximise load per drop. T6 should be on a small pad and T7 on a medium.
Can someone Humour me and compare that image and a Sidewinder to compare the cargo hatch
Sidewinder is three cargo hatches long and four cargo hatches wide.
Krait seems to be about ten hatches long and eight hatches wide.

Volume is not a limiting factor to the cargo capacity of any vessel in ED.
But it should be.
It's just not a realistic expectation.
If we ever get to wander around inside our ships, they're going to have to dream up stuff which will fill most of the internal space and then it'll be a case of having "empty" areas which will be populated with stuff when we fit Shields, Cargo Racks, Cabins, SCBs or whatever.
Here's a little sketch I made which provides an idea of how the internal slots of a Cobra 3 would impact on the internal space.
Presumably, most of the internal space is taken up with core systems and there's only a small percentage turned over to optional modules.
Yes well, I don’t expect it, but I would like it.
Indeed. I expect the Panamax principle to have survived to ED's era.
