Will there be more than 2 New Ships?

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.

Its odd. I'm starting to wonder if the devs are worried that trading with the Clipper would 'break' the economy or something.

This is what confuses me, does that mean two extra ships on top of the ones we know about?

The two we know about and are yet to be announced by Frontier.

"we'll be revealing the two new ships that are coming..."

That's pretty concrete language, that cannot be interpreted as "the other two new ships". At this point, hoping its something else is just begging to be disappointed. I'm looking forward to the Live Stream, to see exactly what these ships bring.

Honestly, I'm more interested to know if they'll be getting FSS sorted out for VR. The ships I already have need to continue to be fun, before thinking about others.
 
I don't understand....why does the release of two ships require their own live-stream?

One would imagine probably because the addition of the ships is not all it entails. "Ships" could mean anything pertaining to ships, so as well as the new ships there could be a bunch of balancing (please!) and some other tasty QoL changes to do with ships.

Yeah I get you, it's the choice of words.. 'Reveal' Sounds like announcing something we don't know. Am looking into it too much..

Btw what VR probelms are you having with FSS? Working great for me, expception is the blue background markers, only showing in one eye, which is quite trippy. Think Neutrons are doing the same apparently.

Probably an Alliance specific SLF (the Taipan is independent) that we will see.. eventually.

Probably just don't want to dethrone the Cutter as the top trader (which makes total sense, btw..:rolleyes:); I still don't understand why they stopped short of buffing the T9's capacity higher than it.
 
While not being too hopeful in this regard (extra ships), they did say that there would be surprises not mentioned in the live streams, in the final release.

The stream was called Ships. Then it got changed to New Ships. I know that Frontier are fulfilling that promise, but still........disappointing. That name change implies the focus would be new ships. That a live-stream (which usually lasts for an hour) would be for New Ships suggests more then 2.

You're right, we could get Limpet Controller Arrays and some rebalancing, but that's the sort of stuff (especially the latter) which is best left for patch notes, not a live stream IMO.

Much the same issues. Nothing that looks like it couldn't be swiftly fixed, but then again, issues readily apparent to anyone spending even 5 minutes using it in VR.

Yes and they don't. Otherwise, they would have seen controls bindings wer in MC. And I am skipping all the rest...

Honest question, I only fly using the CV1. Just curious so I can take note, what VR specific issues with the FSS? Have only spent a few hours.

Cheers

so far we got 1 new ship in beta (mamba) and past and copy krait. Would be a joke if there not more cause in fact there 2 new ships since last year (chieftain variants + Krait Variants) mamba would be nr3 and the talked about "many" lol ships. chieftain variants and type 10 just copy and past work mostly.

3 Ships modeled in 1 Year uuuuuuuuuu how many people it took....angry

Krait Phantom for exploration ! Less hardpoints, less hull / shield but higher speed & jump. Why not ?

The actual Krait can also be considered as an exploration ship since it can easily jump at 60 ly and got enough space for SRV, AMFU, big fuel scoop, etc.

The blu blurry bubbles are shown to one eye only (left only) so they are not clearly visible.
The rings moves around when you turn the head.
The help menu does not show up.
Other issues with discovery mode when a fully mapped planet is shown.. The image is not the same for the two eyes.

Thank you, yes I've seen the issues relating to one eye. Thought perhaps I was missing a bunch of issues that JohnRoberts had found.

To me, considering these are dropping into a lot of combat scenarios, I think these are combat ships.
