How many new ships in 2019?

[avow555]

My guess 3 new ships this year, not including variants.

Super heavy: Panther
Medium: Constrictor
Small: Gecko

Your thoughts?

 

[StuartGT]

At least zero new ones

By the looks of it they'll be no new ships or interesting content for a whole year, just a couple of bugfixes and some tinkering to keep us quiet.

I'm sure we'll get at least two and I'm sure one will be a medium class combat re-skin. Maybe a new cargo ship as well.

But personally I'd like to see a new small class combat ship similar to the Cobra, Viper and DBS. Maybe one that uses class 3 enhanced drives and has a decent jump range.

 

[Duck & Jenny]

I have it on good authority that there will be 2.8 new ships this year.

 

[Vedmo]

473.

 

[Jenner]

There's a 50% chance, but only a 10% chance of that.

I think there'll be what FDev have said is coming this year: small updates every 3-4 months, the first two will contain bug fixes, QoL changes, and better New Player Experience; and regular dev-run events/CGs. If the first of these updates arrives this/next month, then we should get 3 small updates this year, with the third adding new features and content too.

News on the regular dev-run events/CGs should be coming this month.

I got a thing for the shape of the Conda and Python and though I have one but never utilize it, the Vette. I'm hoping there would be a small with a similar shape. Though like the Vette, I probably wouldn't utilize it. I love my Conda and Python.

 

[AlaricVonDrago]

It'll have a fighter bay and land on a medium pad, that much is for sure.

 

[Duck & Jenny]

I must be a weirdo, as I already have plenty of ships that I love, and there are some I haven't even tried yet (like the Alliance ships). Then again, I'm happy with simple chocolate ice cream - don't need no new "Moose Fly Pancake Unicorn" ice cream to make me happy.

There'll be a medium number of ships.

 

[DDastardly00]

I have yet to buy a Mamba or an Alliance Crusader, those are next after I'm done Engineering my FDL, and I'm still not done with the Krait mk II yet. So many ships, so little mats.....

I'm not sure about new ships, but I will always take more, would love to see one or two this year.

 

[SlickPBW]

Constrictor.

That would be awesome, so long as it is not overpowered.

 

[Jukelo]

Zero I hope, there are too many already and every ship they release makes it harder for them to eventually get interiors done.

 

[Patrick_68000]

Interplanetary Shuttle.

 

[shreddog]

Interplanetary Shuttle.

And Lifter.

People will be thrilled!

 

[Tarman]

As many as they include. This is inside a range of zero to infinity, just to keep things reasonable.

 

[dylman]

With no paid expansions this year, they'd be daft not to release any new ships to drive paintjob sales.

 

[Starman 1966]

I'd like to see a Vulture XXL constructed around two huge hard points. And a cargo ship whatever baptised to deliver 850+ tons of cargo, which would make PP forts less of a pain.
