Yes. The two released ships being the Adder Scout and the Asp Trader... obviously.
Will there be more than 2 New Ships?

That makes it four ships then, two "revealed" and two unrevealed. [big grin]

So far I gave them the benefit of doubt, that the spotted npc mamba and krait phantom ships are deliberate teasers, and that they'll pull 3+ additional ships out of their pockets on thursday, including a dedicated explorer on par with the conda in terms of jumprange, as well as a mining ship. Or who knows, maybe more large ships, small ships ANYTHING BUT MORE MEDIUM COMBAT SHIPS. I am sad now.
Uh guys... I don't know if that was mentioned earlier in the thread but.... what about that elusive Class-8 FSD ?
here on eddb.io : https://ibb.co/b10otL
So as we know no current ship has a Class 8 FSD.
Conda T9 and Corvette have C6
Cutter, Beluga and T10 have C7
I'm pretty sure a (seemingly) combat ship like Mamba won't have a larger than C6 FSD (FDL has C4)
and Krait Phantom, being a variant of the Krait MKII which features a C5 FSD certainly won't have a module 3 classes higher than the original.
So... what ship is supposed to make use of that module ?

Gotta be the fleet carrier. Remember they had to push it back, but I still bet there are assets already done for it.
Dunno it depends. Maybe other ships getting a balance pass (like orca locked sections being removed).
Maybe the viper mkiv cockpit will no longer be a clone of the MK3 same with asp ex and asp scout (this dream is too much to hope for)
The Viper4 needs 2 more utilities. Not happening though.
I'd settle for 1.
I don't understand....why does the release of two ships require their own live-stream?
Disappointed to hear this. Looks like not even an exploration update is enough to get another dedicated exploration ship out the door. But on the bright side, we have another combat ship, the seventh combat ship released this year, so, there's that.
Still no Imperial Explorer. I've accepted now that the iExplorer isn't coming, ever. If that can't come out of spacedock for an exploration update, it never will.
Even more surprising, still no Panther Clipper. We have concept art, comments from David Braden, even mentions by NPC SLF pilots going back to 2.2. I think FD should just put us out of our misery and answer the question: Will this ship ever be released in this game's lifetime?

What we need is Moar Kombat Ships!
I know, I know just hear me out. At the top of the PvP food chain there are only like 6 ships.
Cutters - invincible (can low wake at any time).
Vettes - pretty awesome too.
FDL - meta and the most used ship.
Cheif/Chall - you see them sometimes
Krait - maybe but is squishy.
FAS - sometimes
So of these 30 odd ships only 6 are viable for PvP and 3 of those are rank locked. Everything else cant hang in PvP.

Maybe this is it, 2 already "spoiled", 2 new surprises.
Yeah, both my fighter pilots are ex- Panther Clipper cmdrs, strange that the devs seem to be holding back on this ship. Out of curiosity, one of my new recruits mentions flying the Manticore, I don't recall that ship in any previous versions.
Combat ships ≠ PvP ships
This is what confuses me, does that mean two extra ships on top of the ones we know about?
True. Moar PvP viable ships then!
Its odd. I'm starting to wonder if the devs are worried that trading with the Clipper would 'break' the economy or something.
The two we know about and are yet to be announced by Frontier.
DANG .. that means no panther clipper
I want a ship with a cargo hold capable of doing wing missions by itself!!
