I'll be buying one, but...
Does anyone else think it looks like an upside-down overweight Vulture?

Krait Mk. II, it's now a Python analog
- Thread starter TheGrimCorsair
- Start date
Why does it have such HUGE air intakes in front of the main engines ?
It's a future proof feature for atmospheric landings.
Sandro mentioned it when I interviewed him for lave radio about the C&P changes, episode 177 http://laveradio.com/page/3/
Very litte more than the lauch video from 2014:Lots of subtle hints in that video. And the one thing on my mind here is SPACE LEGS! This is probably the most comprehensive animation of commanders wandering around . . . This video is screaming Space legs...Space legs...space legs...

Biggest threat that my Cobra will ever face.
Except one is an obvious CGI trailer and the other is made using the in-game engine. No, space legs is not coming in 3.1. But it certainly looks like they are working towards some of this stuff for the future. Still years ahead though if it does come.
Yes, both are videos of walking dudes. One of them looks like pure out-of-engine rendering, the other looks very much like they are using the exact assets we have in-game at the moment. The difference is rather large, actually.
I'm going to guess: undersized powerplant and < 100t of cargo space. But hey - MULTI-CREW!! Woo! etc.
It certainly looks like it could have been made by Core Dynamics as it has a lot of the "design language" of CD. That's why I like the way the Krait Mk II looks.
If I recall correctly, the Python has 9 optional module slots. I hope it has at least 9, even if some are lower class sizes compared to a Python.

Basically, the Krait to the Python as is the Viper Mk IV to the Cobra?
Ship looks alright, always excited for new ships.
I'm thinking 3 large plasmas, a hammer and a pack hound

I bet it's a lead sled. The python pitches like a pregnant cow, but has good lateral thrusters and poor top speed.
The krait with all that fire power and slf capabilities must have some drawback? Ok less cargo cus that the pythons nich is medium ship with large cargo. Probably still 4 utilities, probably runs hot? But that would make it more conspicuous i would have thought?
Humm it must have rubbish lateral thrusters and mediocre pitch pluss half the cargo cap of a python. I mean why fly the python in combat.. ever... now this ship is here?
I mean i hate slf so i guess theres that. I love the shape and vibe of the ship but i just cant escape the odea it must be seriosly gimped some how so it balances out in the line up of medium combat ships.
