Classic ship request to dev
- Thread starter Moon dog
- Start date
I would love to see the 'luxury' version of the Fer-de-Lance. It's mentioned in the description of the FDL.
Just think of a Snake that's higher up in rank than an FDL in terms of raw strength that's not already a ship in the game.
Boom. Luxury Version XD

I know it's for a completely different game, and I apologise to Frontier for essentially promoting this, but what you ask for has already been done ...

Zorgon Peterson Transporter
Look, I made something! My answer to the Python's dominance in medium pad hauling: The Transporter. As re-imagined by Zorgon Peterson, based on the Hauler. Yeah, I know, it's only a crayon tier line sketch of a blueprint made with paint.net, but I'm proud anyway, like a 6 year old scrawling his...
New Ship - Cobra MkIV functional clone
I agree with you on a couple of points here: Mini Python, 100%, that is the way I see it. Like a practise model for the bigger ship. Also: I use mine as a passenger runner, three cabins and 20 berths; it is a great little credit maker for less than half a million re-buy. What's not to like...
The one in game is the Luxury version
The Elite Era ship was discontinued during the FE2/FFE Era and the one we have now is the release as a joint ZPG Saud Kruger collaboration
I've come to the conclusion that griefers and cheaters should not be shadow banned. They should be only allowed to fly an E-Rated Cobra Mk IV for a month and only in open. #CobraIVisPay2Lose.
Seriously though, there are a couple of classic ships I'd like to see;-

- Moray Star Boat
- Imperial Explorer (with the Tri-Wing Design)
i'd envisage some girth yes but a medium ship so somewhere between Dolphin & Orca
lets take a moment to reflect on the word "girth" such a fantastic word isn't it?
Yes i will

It would be really nice to see a few old classics in game, just like if you drive around you occasionally see an old classic car. It would bring some life to the galaxy because what happened to all the old ships? Did they all get crushed and turned into new ships? Surely some oddities would survive?
Exactly this. Apply a little of the procedural generation magic and generate a history for all vessels, and then make it possible to buy used ships at a discount depending on rarity, lightyearage, rebuy count and other factors, including (non-transferable) paintjobs, or buy rarely seen vintage models at a markup. Who wouldn't want to run a mint 3112 Cobra Mk3 in 'Amiga Port Indigo'* with the original 'slash' canopy and the old Lance & Ferman missile rack? Any difference would be purely cosmetic, it would be purely for feels. But E
is a game built around a database; why not use the information we generate playing the game to add some history to vessels.*Galaxy Map nerds are searching for 'Amiga Port' with only slightly less fervour than Raxxla.
It might still even have a working ADS!
Perhaps they could sell proper ship kits, like you get on the roads where you take the chassis of some rubbish cheap car and put a porsche-shaped fibreglass shell on it.
"Yeah, it looks like a Mimbari battle cruiser, but it's a sidewinder inside. It's got a bit more armour but the shields are over-stretched and it drives like a tank."
