Ships Any new ships in Odessy?

[Klemyr]

It been a few times when I heard some rumors and speculations what new ships we may get in Odessy.
So far there are nothing solid I could find rearding this and FD seams to be silent about it.

But may be I missed something? Share your thoughts on this topic and any info you may have.

UDP: I just recall that FD have some plans to tweak ships we currently have in future "rebalnces" after Odessy is out.
Frankly, I am worred about that...

 

[Factabulous]

yes, there are ships in Odyssey

Emphasis was on new

I for one welcome the new Panther Clipper.

Yeah, you can buy new ships in Odyssey, just walk over to the Shipyard

Everyone wants Panther Clipper. But what els?

Typical answers are Imperial Explorer, Type-8 Transporter (medium pad) and a Clipper MkII with retractable nacelles (also medium pad).

We don't know, all we have is one bit of concept art that might fit Odssey:

 

[Exterminatus93]

A successor ship to the corvette, maybe with 3 or 4 huge hardpoints and turret variants of these.

• Type 8... oh god it should be Type 7 for the Medium pad from the start. I would prefer if FD would simply rework Type 7, otherwise I have no idea why would anyone need it if there will be ship with similar cargo for medium pad. I just dont see where to fit it really.
• Clipper MkII? Well, maybe.
• Imperial Explorer on the other hand could be very intresting to see. We need some dedicated top tir explorer, not nessesary a large one...

In any case I will be glad to see any new additions to our fleet. I just hope FD would make them usefull and give some love to thouse ships that need it right now like Asp Scout and Type 7 and may be some els (I would add here Vette cos he need some stat tweks I think)

Considering Space Legs FPS is the main selling point of Odyssey, I'd argue for a Warthog like close air support plattform. BRRRRRRRRT

Like... the Dropship?

Constrictor, Turner maybe.

AspS and Type 7 defo need sorted.

We're talking properly useful ships here. Not some ugly brick a 10 years-old bolted thrusters on

 

[Gauntlet]

Having seen the skimmers and goliaths from an fps perspective I'd like to see pilotable versions of these for ground based shenanigans

 

[LifesAJourney]

I'd love to see vessel that accomodates full wing for ground missions and is able to provide a close air support.

 

[Oytis57]

The Imperial Titanic, but beware of Icy Rings.

Open positions for new ships:
1. Huge transport ship (Panther Clipper);
2. Medium Passenger SaudiKruger ship;
3. Medium Gutamaya Ship;
4. Type 8;
5. Mamba Lite;
6. Anti-Xeno Guardian-design ship;

Just to list a few... many more still missing.

Imperial explorer please -- it was even a ship in old school elite!

No it wasn't.
It was introduced in the third installment of the game, Frontier: First Encounters.

I wish their was a carrier ship that could launch multiple fighters! Im a all or nothing type of guy and love swarms of things so swarms of little fighters would make me happy. I guess they would have to be special little drones & really weak for balance or you would have to hire 50 special pilot NPC's or something.

Im pretty new to ED, is there a dev stated reason for only being able to send out 1 NPC fighter?
I want a ton of little gadfly buddys :C
