2019: No Mediums Please

Maybe we'll get some more copy paste ships as we have 3 dropships, 2 vipers, 2 cobras, 3 alliance, 2 type 9s, 2 db, 2 asp, 2 type 6s, and 2 eagles is more than a trend it seems like easy development i guess.

Wow, it's almost like that's how product lines work in reality, or something.

Well, if the choice is to either get a variant of an existing ship or no ship at all, I clearly favor the variant.

I also think it's nice to have variants. If you like a particular ship design but its flight model or hardpoint layout are not for you, you might find a variant to be exactly what you were looking for.
 
No, no small or medium ships in 2019. I mean non please for god sake fdev give us a big boy ship that's better than the cutter and vette. I mean come on nothing but medium ships is all you ever release. Like is your problem with giving us a big boy ship. There is what like 3 big boy combat ships in the game right now. And don't give me that oh there is the t9 or t10, i wouldn't even wipe my own a-$-$ with those ships. Everything so far has been a complete joke. I have over 4,000 hrs in game so i def know what i'm talking about. This update better be worth a dang or elite is just gonna go to crap.

I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.
 
I'd love to see some asymmetrical ships in game.

I would not.
If an asymmetrical design is released, it should drift slightly to one side and needs constant adjustment.

The shape of a spaceship is not really bound to aesthetics in real life, but with the flight model inspired by planes and the possibility of atmospheric flight, I don't really see asymmetrical ships happening.
 
I’m ready for a large with ship with lots of slots for internals, a fantastic jump range, and doesn’t have a boring, boxed-in cockpit view *cough* Anaconda.

Yeah I just got back from a 7 month ED break and one of the things that burned me out on Elite is the frustrating limitations of the missions system once you choose to fly any ship other than the Almighty Python. Anything larger than that makes your earning potential worse in many situations and that just feels wrong to me.

Even the other day there were missions for my Cutter in Daedalus/Sol for maybe 1.2-1.5Mcr for 120t and missions to outposts for 5-8Mcr for 120-180t. I saw this several days in a row. Of course the only ship in the game that can do those 5-8Mcr missions is the Python. I really hate that ship so much now but I have one because sometimes I do need to earn cash and I can't say no to those kinds of credits with limited play time. But I would have much rather have done large haulage missions in my T-9 or my Cutter which took me forever to get.

It's such a simple fix too. I can't imagine it would be hard to implement. Just add some 600-700t missions with payouts that are reasonable. Heck I'd even take the 5-8MCr Python cash.
Both Kraits can do 180t missions as well. But I agree that there should be better missions for big ships.
