Hmm ya since they say 'Ships' will in some way prepare the game for Horizons, I could see maybe carrying passengers and troops as part of 'Ships'. I wonder what else could need preparing...
I suspect 1.5 Ships will also brings wrecks. That's my speculation, but looting is mentioned as coming early, and it's part of Horizons.

Considering they will bring out second passenger ship this could be true. Well, let's see and wait

Am I reading this right? 1.5 will bring the number of ships to over 30? There are only 20 ships in game, and only 8 in speculation (9 including cobra mk4)
So what else could they be making? And is there any hope the "ships" update will let me take a walk around my DBx?
From the site:
The CQC game update will be available in September, followed this Holiday by another major content update for all Elite Dangerous players. ‘Ships’ will bring the total number of spacecraft to over 30, and will prepare the game for Elite Dangerous: Horizons.
Don't be hasty, my little child. We haven't got the 1.4 update ships yet and you're already drooling after the 1.5 ones? And I bet you have not purchased all the 1.3 ones, did you?
Ok so we are at 20. The question is will the CQC ships count as they are not in the main game. I hope they are excluded. But if not we are in for a few more ships. Also I very much doubt FD will stop at 30. I can certainly see some next year as part of EDH. In terms of type of ship. We already have enough trade, combat, exploration, multi purpose ships. It would be nice to see some that link in with EDH in the future. Like planet exploration ships and planet mining ships. Personally I still have 8 ships I have never owned in 1.3. So if that increases to 18 I am going to busy for a long time to come. I am now at 5p per hour played. A bargain. (And yes I just purchased the new lifetime pass for £120) I mean FD do have run and maintain costs as well as development.

Hence my post above. I think we will see some ships designed for landing on planets and exploring/mining. Also timing wise we may get 1.5 say in October. It is only two short months before EDH lands. So plenty of time to fly new ships and find all the bugs.
I personally like the journey we are on.

Yes as i do, i do hope it is mining ships, be great to start having role specific ships, other than combat/trading ships. Yes we have the Orca, which is useless just now without the NPC passengers.

How far back can you walk with the USB extension? Furthest I can get in the rift is a few feet from the main chair. Btw, if you think the T9 is awesome, try the T7, the Bridge is even larger than the T9!
This made me LOL
Sad note- Docking computer..
Fly safe and dont "deck" your ship

The SRV (Scout Recon Vehicle) or "scarab"
Michael also said that there would be "stuff to find"- rare minerals, crashed ships, artifacts? and "other stuff"...
You will need to buy this, and the module it fits into from the spaceport. There are different size ones, which will take up more space.. so less cargo.
Different size ships will allow access to different sized scarabs, for "specific missions"- our best guess it that there will be several variants of the scarab, such as scout, combat, mining & transportation..more to be unveiled.
Fly safe and await dune buggy racing.. SQUEEEEEEEEE!

I am reading salvage ship
Boa Constrictor.
i guess once 1.5 is released with all its ships and season 2 begin fd artists will work to implemant the differents srv as all ships would have been released, oh void i can't wait to see some srv artwork!
Maybe more variety in NPC ships/stations too?
I'm thinking of the type of stuff that you'd never fly in Elite - like Bulk Traders, pure military assets (carriers, anyone?), flying mini-stations, planetary shuttles, portable modules which are parked near the stations we visit now...
Not everything needs to be playable (and it's an easy way to introduce more variety into the environment - e.g. minor faction in a boom state, you see a series of bulk carriers / additional storage units parked near one or more of their stations).

clearly +1000 that and comm chatter generated by all ships would add life and more believable "world/universe"
i may have been disapointed by x rebirth but traffic was a pretty nice touch anyway

And better rebalance the existing ships so that smaller vessels aren't just a stepping stone to get to the more useful ones.Hopefully an update called "Ships" will also bring us ship naming and transfer.
