Cobra Mk V and more...

PP v2.0, system colonization, Cobra Mk V, what's else... 2024 not a "bad" year

[Cmdr Snuffler]

Wow! Was that from the twitch stream?!
Any indication of what role it would be good for? Hardpoints etc?
2024 has been an amazing year for ED!

 

[Doctor Dread]

You're joking about C 5?

 

[Pask]

Colonization Ships are very cool and huge

 

[Mrc_NorthEast]

No not a joke, watch the twitch stream. And expanding into un populated systems is new feature

A true multirole ship, medium build - no more details

Not at all, just show on Frontier Unlock, and i have to say... some leak spill out in last weeks, because Cobra Mk5 guessing happened few times.

Fantastic!!
I was proposing C 5 for years and years.

And look, it's a Cobra with a central pilot's seat! Hooray!

This is a very clever dovetail into PP2, because now the sky is the limit as far as power size is concerned.

Ironically its fulfilling a KS video (in a way) too about colonisation...

I didn't know I wanted a Cobra Mk V until today, and the whole system colonisation is so much better than plain old base building.

 

[DjVortex]

I think there will be a huge race to colonize the coolest systems out there, the ones with the really cool star combos.

Bye bye free time, friends and family...

 

[Doctor Dread]

These are GREAT news!
Thank you FD

I think the earliest suggestions of a "Cobra Mk V" predate Odyssey, so probably not.

This is a very clever dovetail into PP2, because now the sky is the limit as far as power size is concerned.

So long as the rate of new Power creation equals or exceeds the net [1] rate of new system creation, since there's not going to be a lot of the "territorial warfare" aspect if every Power can have more systems than it can possibly count, safely packed on the side of the bubble no-one else can get to anyway.


[1] The ability to populate and expand new systems allows (to my mind, "requires", but let's stick with "allows" for now) the Big Cocijo Surprise to be the Thargoids launching full-destruction attacks that permanently depopulate systems or destroy stations, so let's not assume at this stage that the net creation rate will be positive.

THAT'S who those people are, I knew they looked familiar. I've been trying to remember who they are and what they're doing in my house since I started playing ED!

We can't really fault FDev for at least trying to deliver on old promises. +1 to them for that.

And them flappy things pop up in the back and underneath is two class 4 hardpoints. I hope.

I think the growth will be slower and many places will escape attention because of low PP2 value.

I think people were guessing Cobra mkV as a joke .... which turned out to be right.
