News Beyond - Chapter Four Livestreams (08.11.2018) – New Ships
Giant ! +1
I'll be honest, I really wasn't that bothered about tonights stream. However. I've just seen the video for the Mamba.
It is magnificent !
Aw.. was really hoping for a surprise SRV too, given that rumour had been floating about. Oh, well.
Meh. I love the update so far but this stream was underwhelming.
Mamba is a kitchen oven. It's supposed to be fast ? not even 500m/s is fast ? I sure hope they didn't engineer it with G5 DD + drag otherwise it's going to be a lemon. I suppose they used Clean drives in this case but then heat would make even less sense.
Krait seems nice, faster than MK2 and hopefully longer FSD range. With 8 internals it might turn out to be a fine exploration ship (same FSD, lighter hull, should yield more range)
I was hoping for a secret reveal at the end (SRV ? Panther Clipper ? or a dedicated miner would have made sense) but even though these new additions seem very nice (heat nonwithstanding) I feel a tad disappointed.
Still, overall impression for Beyond is very positive.

Find out next week.
Adam's noseplant and Ed's reaction, well worth the price of admission. I hope they're in the pub now.
In boost the Krait Phantom was faster than the Mamba - but with the heat issues on the mamba perhaps it didn't have drag drives...
I think the lack of detail about the ships was a bit naughty, we'll have to wait until next week to engineer the socks off them both and find out ourselves

The Mamba wasn't black.
Black Friday paint jobs for everything![knocked out]

Guys, that was honest to god a hot mess. You never managed power and didn't go below 100% heat in the fight, you crashed into the ground like 4 times, and you left your wing chat on for so long that we genuinely couldn't tell what was being said. You didn't release *any* information that wasn't already known. We wanted to know what size the optional internal slots were, not just how many there were. You didn't mention about core internal sizes either. Instead you just showed us once again how bad of pilots you were.
Only 40 minutes, Mengy. Most of it was a show-off for the ships - a nice crash by Adam in the Krait
No useful info about outfitting - we'll all know in a few days anyway

Although I like the new ships as they are, I feel they are not connected to the Chapter 4 update. There are exploration and mining improvements, yet we get a Krait variant and another combat ship? I don't see the concept there. I thought you would introduce something for exploration, maybe even a new breed of ship line or something. A new ship for miners, for example. The two ships shown feel like they've been left over from the editing room and were just shoved in here. Not in line with the other parts of the update at all. Maybe I expected too much, I don't know.
