FDL

Totally useless you mean?
One of the worst jump ranges, power plant is too small for having both good shields and good load out, almost space for cargo. Not to mention that there are already complaints about high repair costs so having good shields is essential. So basically you either have a glass cannon or good protection but not both. And this is meant to be a bounty hunter.

A luxury ship being used as a fighter though.
I remember that the FdL in the original was a bounty hunter's dream but then it became a Raymond Luxury Yacht. What is its real purpose in the game ?
Having hardpoints doesn't make it a gunboat.

It's as tough as old iron and horseshoe nails as well.

From the probable price, I think it comes with a 100% solid gold interior and the canopy must be made out of diamonds.

Glad to see the "mods" are contributing to the qqqing on the forum.. >.> says a lot about this community
According to the in-game description of FDL it is used by wealthy bounty hunters. So the main role of the FDL should be bounty hunting.
Oh yes indeedie.
Me like my new ride.

No one knows the probable price though, so i dont understand this comment or others like it. The armour costs a lot, the other components are average cost. Its supposed to be for wealthy bounty hunters, not wealthy traders. I am unsure why people think it will cost more than a python. I would be surprised if it cost more than 30 million. Unless the devs have shed any light on the matter?
It's very good for pve bounty hunting. I'm not sure how it well it will stand up to CMDRs in Cobras and Vipers though.
Not downloaded yet, but why all the surprise?
Some folks, other threads included, seemed to think it should be some +5 vorpal ship of slaying. Now complaining about jump range and load out balancing requirements?
Get a grip. It's in beta, and its D-day H-hour +2 (or so).

Really?
Check this out.
Seems pretty damn good to me.
This is the internal config. No cargo to be fair, but for bounty hunting, oh yes. Oh yes indeed.
13LY jump range with an A-Grade FSD?
Hahahahahahahahha
Yes, that's useless!
Good luck chasing your bounty across the galaxy with a 13LY jump range LOL

It was only spelt Luxury Yacht, if I recall correctly. It was actually a Throatwobbler Mangrove. Its purpose is to make throats wobble then?
Edit: It just occurred to me the design is reminiscent of Raymond's nose as well.

Ha ha brilliant. Sums up the forums right now totally. So much QQ because all the super rich people were expecting some super ship to replace their nerfed pythons....
3 empty utility slots - this is definitely what I do not like. Compromise with life support and SCB. Are gimballed cannons that good?

Actually I think the ships are becoming as they should be, there can't be one all encompassing badass like there was with the Python. Each should have strengths with compromises for those. It's up to FDEV to take into account all the feedback in total not on a ship by ship basis.
What is the strength of the current FDL?
FDL has a good base value of shields (300, i.e. +40 in comparison to a Python, second best shields losing to Anaconda only) meaning that A5 shield gen should not be that bad for it. And if it had A6 power plant you could easily fit it with 2-3 shield boosters and A4 SCB, which would allow FDL to have great shields.

it'll beat everything that isn't a python/conda but is faster than a python/conda? Its not the best of roles but tbh thats pretty strong
Edit: Unless its got a masslock signature of a T6, which is the sort of incredibly stupid design decision I expect lol, but it probably has the same as an Asp/Python etc.
