Why snakes? Do you have a problem with designers?

Ships named after snakes I have no issue with but why did Ford name two of it's most popular (obviously not most popular when 1st named) cars after 'top shelf' magazines?

You must be thinking of the Ford Penthouse. Everyone's favourite RV.
 
ok, Elite from 1984, but now not 84? or you play in 1984? I'm not! i want a future

Because it is in the lore. Of course the iconic ships from the other games need to be in ED...... And then also new ones are in there which have been developed in the proceeding years.
I am not sure why you expect otherwise to be honest. It would be like playing gears of war and not having the option of the lancer or shotgun, or playing doom and there not being a BFG (or shotgun)
 
OK. I realized that the reptilian problem comes from an old game. But I thought that there should not be so many snakes. Reptiloid in the head? Perhaps 1-3(as a unique class), but not more.https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArNMjFSYZCvThhhZn3TAarxcvRLO

It would be a class if there was a wolf and a bear, or a werewolf .... there is no limit to the design, but snakes and two sea creatures - It's stupid

Au contraire, I am waiting for yet another snake: the Copperhead from Zarch (or Lander or Virus) and Archimedes ELITE.

The python is not named after a snake but after "monty python", that is the only thing i know for sure in this game ; )
 
I'm waiting for the boa, either version ... which of course was names for a hot pink feather boa, as once worn by Sandro before the advent of the space loach.
 
In the original elite, they all vaguely resembled snake heads. Now, when you look at the ships from the top down, they're in the shape of a snake's head, so an anaconda looks like an anaconda's head, a cobra looks like a cobra's head and so on.
 
Probably because infinity interceptor MK3 hasn't the same ring. I like snakes. I like the naming theme. always have, and did someone mention bacon. I like bacon.
