Cobra MkI & Constrictor.

Looked up the list of 30 eventual player ships and was dissapointed to see no Cobra MkI. Yet we get two passenger liners.. do we really need two liners (or even one beyond the very short term novelty factor)? Was glad to see the Krait, not really bothered about the other EF/EFE era ships. Surely we should have all the original ships back. Well maybe not the transporter/free metal fragments. Also the Constrictor! Where is it!?

I was always fascinated by the Cobra MkI in the original game, it looked cooler and I always wanted to trade in my MkIII for one, which I did in FE but never really got into that game. Has there been any mention of its fate. Also bringing back the MkI would also allow for some sort of story line relating to the fate of the MkII which is another thing I was always curious about. Fatal flaw or corporate sabotage?

And the Fer-De-Lance!! How could we forget about the most feared pirate ship of all!!

Here are pictures of MkI and Constrictor from Oolite as cannot find any from the other games.

It was the wiki list, went back to count and there is only 23 so still hope left after all. Thought they already had 30 between those in game and the last few listed there.

EDIT: On further inspection it also turns out the Fer De Lance is actually on that list too.. I blame a long day of studying for brain failure!

I too miss the aforementioned ships, and the Mamba, the Krait, and the Moray. Pirates just aren't the same without them for some reason. :( And Viper Mk I police ships:

Am I getting old? Lol.

Bring back the constrictor. I think we need a competitor to the cobra.

Slightly bigger. Maybe one level 3 and two level 1 hardpoints. Different internal config. Medium landing pad required.

We need a ship to fill the gap between the cobra and asp.
