News 2.4 The Return: The Type-10 Defender

[DanGriswold]

Thanks for the new ship Frontier! More ships are always welcome.

The Type-10 is surely a sexy beast, but the spoiler?! C'mon guys. Wings and ailerons are one thing, all planes and spaceships have them, but that spoiler screams "I'm 17 and I just bought my first Honda Civic". I sure hope a future ship kit will be able to remedy this.

 

[Maka Gucci]

COMBAT and BELUGA in same sentence? :O This is so wrong!

You clearly haven't had the dis-pleasure of facing FW's Khan (I think it is) in his, you wouldn't make fun of such a Beluga if you had

Praise Aisling

The shields are a bit underwhelming?

 

[[VR] Enexemander]

Yesssssssss

Now we're in Merry Christmas territory!

 

[Monk]

The shields are a bit underwhelming?

The main damage sponge with this ship will be the hull, I'd imagine.

I think I may see a Haz Res miner for my plans for this ship.

Miner Type 10 confirmed!

So has anyone checked the hardpoint convergence yet? Curious if fixed weapons are a good choice. The less draw the better on that distributor!

 

[wielebny]

lol, t9 clone, bravo, you work hard ... pathetic

 

[The Lawful]

Oh, just found out that Hutton Orbital is over 6 million ls from the jump-in star. I see the joke now.

Plus it neither has large pads nor a shipyard...it's a common joke.

For the Mug & O7,

[The Lawful]

FRONTIER!.. REALLY? no Paint Schemas for the Type 10 in store for release???
Whose marketing idea was that? I got CASH to burn RIGHT NOW!...

In fact, the T-10 currently does not even have a livery slot to fit paint jobs in. Duh.

O7,

Turns out the T10 might be nearly useless at Combat... but it's still a very solid Mining Rig or a Trader from the looks of it

It's like the Alliance recognized every single weakness of a Type-9 Miner design and ordered a Ship that specifically addresses all those Mining shortcomings.
That role it seems to fit perfectly. We finally got a dedicated heavy Mining Platform

 

[Oguska]

Anaconda will still kick this spoiled abominations spoiler in any way.So why relase a new ship, it has nothing new or signaficant over other big three.

Bought it and sold it already.

 

[Patrick_68000]

Thanks for the information. Has come faster than expected. +1

 

[Patrick_68000]

Here's mine... It's quite a fuel guzzler!

Not with a class 6 distributor it isn't.

 

[sorcer3r]

I will not leave my cutter for this thing

more important: AX weapon limit still there ?

I hope you are right, never felt really good mining in cutter, hope that T-10 will replace it nicely

 

[CMDR Reaper]

What is its jump range?

 

[ZiggyGG]

What is its jump range?

All grade D, FSD grade A and passenger cabins cuz I'm on my way to The Oracle.
All hardpoints with pulse and utilities 2 chaff, 2 heat sink, 2 point deffense, 2 shield boosters all high grade.
NOT engineered.

 

[Morbad]

I'm thinking about buying one, but I'm not sure the increased drag coefficient of spoiler on the back is a worthwhile trade off for the marginal additional downforce when I can just fill the cargo hold with slaves before my aquatic luge depth record attempt.
