Design your own Ship
- Thread starter Kingtutuk
- Start date
I am not that interested in player designed ships myself, and apparently I am not the only one, otherwise people would surely have responded to your threads.
I have posted on several occasions about what I perceive to be gaps in the ship lineup.
For example I think that the Empire needs a medium pad multipurpose ship of similar capacity as the Python.
I also have commented on one or two ship designs and commented on what I don't like about them.
For example I think that the Clipper bridge is disproportionately huge and distorts the perception of the ship's size.
I also think that the bridge of the Cutter should have been moved to the middle of the ship on top of the hull.
And last but not least I think that the Vulture's pilot's chair is placed too low in the cockpit which causes visibility issues to the left and right. This is completely unnecessary, because the dome of the Vulture's cockpit is so huge that there is enough room to move the pilot at least one meter higher up in the cockpit.
So to make a long story short: I am not interested in new ships designed by players, but I would love to redesign a few serious flaws in existing designs.

Python.
(With slf)
Phew, that was easy!

It's a next to zero possibility that FD will run a ship-design competition for players just because of the amount of work that evidently goes into making the ships in ED.
However that does not mean it wouldn't be fun to make some concepts just because. After all, a community member with enough skill could end up showing FD how it's done, and there's always a possibility of being headhunted by FD (as they are looking for someone with the skills to create Sci-Fi vehicles that look like they work as machines, and are in-universe compatible).

I want that ship I saw hiding in the asteroid field in The Empire Strikes back, the one that was actually a potato. That way, I can drift out there amongst the other potatoes in a RES site and spring forth upon unwitting miners as they open fire on me with their mining lasers, the amount of salt generated from that would turn my potato into a crisp! (that's a chip for my US bretheren)

Nice thought. I do simular now in my COLDER than COLD DBS build. I run cold in a RES and creep through the droids to sneak up on Miners from behind and Then................................... !
Cobra MK IV I mean V.
I like this hybrid DeLacy&Imperial Python.
Bob, I agree. Where'd that iPython concept come from?
Reddit Elite Dangerous. Found it here. https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/4nqqhf/new_imperial_ship/
Can I design a fleet carrier instead? [wink]
Wonderful.
It would be a perfect Gutamaya Imperial Python if it also had two engine nacelles.
