Classic ship request to dev

[Moon dog]

I would love to see some past elite ships in game like cobra mk1 and mk2 or viper mk1 and mk2 i have no clue what they would look like but dang if it’s not exciting to think about plz z bring back classic ships classic trading vessels in a free update

 

[Lightspeed]

A classic cobra is found at Jameson's crash site.

I like it more as a landing pad

Ah. A thread about the Panther Clipper.

Not sure what this would accomplish. Barely anyone would fly these oldies, as the current iteration would be better. If not, why did they make a new iteration in the first place ? I could see the old ships as fluff flown by NPCs, enriching variety (on this subject, why the heck do NPCs not use any shipkits ?), but they'd be pushovers. Plus some players would demand to be able to fly those ships.

I'd be happy with Medium sized Gutamaya and Saud Kruger builds.

You'll never see a cobra MK2...

Even mentions of the Asp Scout mk1 or something in the ASP lines of ships. Would be nice to see what that may have looked like.

Additionally, I wanna know the look of the Narwhal Liner which in basic terms from what I've read up, it's a more battle orientated Beluga.

Nah, let’s get on the Puma Clipper band wagon for a change

Personally I'd rather see some officially licensed ships from other sci-fi platforms, now I might actually pay to have those in the game...
The Rocinante from the Expanse or a Minbari cruiser from B5 would be at the top of my shopping list.

Not a serious suggestion but what if they would be specialised in criminal gameplay? Let's say they lack some kind of transponder / aren't registered so you can commit crimes without getting wanted. The drawback is that they suck.

A Python Class Cruiser would be my dream - not technically in the original game but in the manual.
No idea on specs or practical use, just always loved the ship.

Also ship lippy as a store item.

Plenty of top down-ish designs I'd love to see from Vega Conflict

Broadsword Destroyers, Harrier Frigate, Osprey Frigate.

Even two basic starting corvettes called Voyager and Pathfinder

Destiny Cruiser, Apocrypha Cruiser.

Taipan Cutter to name a few.

I guess that could be exploited in no way.
Also the threads will be delicious.

Let's say they do get wanted but only as long as they stay in the instance (to allow station response etc.). Once they wake out the criminal record gets wiped, unless they have ten points in notoriety because everyone knows that guy in his Cobra Mk I. (Disclaimer: Still not a serious suggestion!)

Everyone ignores the Lion http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Lion

 

[Gibbon]

While we're on about other ships, how about the Constrictor? Military prototype shield generators? Special hull alloys? Yes please

What next? You're telling me there was a sequel to Highlander? Or Aliens?

Sure, if they also can't dock anywhere, except maybe anarchies, because of having no transponder.

Include ignorance of hostile rep and you've got a deal.
