News Beyond - Chapter Four Livestreams (08.11.2018) – New Ships
What size are the internal slots? What size are the core slots?
That's what I was hoping the stream would tell us.
What I do know is, neither ship has a spoiler ... and neither does the recap. (bwahaha
o7)
I'll save you the disappointment - they weren't explorers.
^^THIS^^^
I totally agree. This whole chapter is improvements to Exploration and mining and we get a cut down Krait and a hot-dog fighter?!? Really FDev?!?
Would it have hurt to give us an Imperial Explorer or a specialist mining ship with big cargo space and a reserved slot for a refinery? A bit of imagination guys... What you've given us here is basically a reworking of an existing ship model and what looks like a cross between a Fer-de-Lance and a Condor fighter. After the good stuff in the other releases, I must admit to being disappointed with this one. WE DON'T WANT MORE PEW-PEW! THERE ARE ENOUGH WAYS TO DO THIS NOW...
Same. Given I might as well just explore round the bubble when 3.3 drops I wondered if an Exploramba was viable
I think the new Krait Phantom could be purposed as a good explorer, 8 slots, lighter & faster than the Krait MkII, good forward/downward visibility... We'll know more next week
Can't see the Mamba making a very good miner though...

I am so happy they mentioned jousting!
I don't know about that IF you can keep a decent top speed. I've been mining in a Chieftain lately (main game) - that's a challenge - but I think the new goodies might even be fittable in-able there.
Chief doesn't have any pirate-escape speed though, a Mamba probably would and that Huge hardpoint doesn't hurt either.
Not an issue where I am, still on Gnosis, 3500Ly's out by now but who ever heard of an Exploratain? Most things are 'doable' - one way or another - in most medium size ships imo.
Always positive to see new ships. Ships are the soul of Elite.
Well, my 2 cents:
44 minutes (minus 6 to cut off the initial fluff) to present 2 ships without giving any details - For what was presented, should have been 20 minutes for 2 ships or 4 ships for the 44 minutes, and either way, include the outfitting screen, show they guts of it.
Mamba sure looks sleek though.
And +1 Kudos for that crash! That was epic

Will have to wait until next week to judge. The article in PCgamer stated that the Phantom has more cargo capacity, yet the Coriolis has it reduced and even comes with a tiny 16t fuel tank.

"It’s lighter and faster than the Krait Mk II, with extra cargo space and several hardpoints. It’s not as heavy-hitting as the other Krait, but Frontier reckons you’ll still be able to hold your own against beefier targets."
WOW! so you show us 2 livestreams with awsome content and alot of new stuff to do then on 3rd stream give us 2 unrelated ships and say there new! There not new there revised models of what we already have (being krait mk2 and FDL) what a kick in the nuts. For the love of all things elite please dont let that be all.
Enjoyed the stream last night chaps and can't wait to get my hands on the Mamba, what an absolute beauty.
P.S. What a bunch of whingers in this thread eh?

Mamba looks like an awesome night time canyon racer with NV mode on. Krait - unsure.
Stream was somewhat disappointing. I was secretly hoping for some surprise at the end, but still, it was fun to watch. The crash will be forever in our memory. #ForTheMamba.

Two beautiful ships in this update.
The Mamba is the Ferrari of the space.

...and more!
There's a number of other huge changes coming to Elite Dangerous, including visual improvements, background simulation updates, and (yet to be revealed) cockpit interface changes, and other features that we can't wait to tell you about.
This is from the beta announcement.
The mamba is a nice ship, but I've expected more. Only 1 new ship? The phantom is only a variant of the krait. Where are the other huge changes? The indicator for the ship's light?
