ship design

Dear Frontier Developments, There are thousands (maybe tens of thousands?) of creative, imaginative Elite Dangerous players and you are creating new ships. I presume you are trying to have new, exciting shapes for the new ships. Well, why not tap into the creativity of the Elite Dangerous...

The rush is on, a sudden surge in ships has presented the different ship builders a bit of competition, each one building a better ship vie'ing for that small ship market. While the big ship companies push out some mediocore ships a new builder has enteres the arena, intent on stealing the...

I would have hoped we would have forgotten optical media by the 3310s...

Just intrigued to know how many cmdrs are planning to buy this early access ship from the Arx store on the 7th May? I myself may well, just for the sake of something being new. However, will probably hold out a little while to learn the usefulness of this new ship. ...Would be honestly...

If anybody is down for it I'd like to try and organize a ship meet up somewhere in sol. Let's pick a spot on Mercury or Europa and try to get as many people to meet up at the same time. In my area we have a lot of car shows but with Covid going on I need something to scratch the itch.

Hello I am currently working on Engineering a Krait MKII and was looking for advice on making the best build for PVP Combat. Right now, my ship is unstoppable against any NPCs I have run into, not even a fight a really, but I would like to get my ship in the best condition for PVP. Here's a...
