Krait Mk. II, it's now a Python analog

Awesome, just as I hoped for! I hope the cargo capacity is decent, maybe a 100 tons with an SLF would be perfect.

Toe to toe with the Python? Same hard points but with an SLF tips the scales to the Krait.

Not necessarily power creep. Its internals might be less spacious than the python's, leaving it less versatile. We also don't know what it's flight model is. Point is even with it having the same hard points plus an slf, it won't necessarily make the python obsolete.

I love that it is krait mk 2
I wish they had done the same with the adder and FDL, but still it's great imo.

Who knows maybe will will one day find crashed MK1 wrecks like Jameson's old cobra?

Ooooh.

“The idea of a low-profile ship for Commanders flying dubious cargo was really cool to us, too.”

“It’s also less ‘conspicuous’, meaning it’s less likely to get scanned by the police compared to other ships of that size and class.

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. We even get to see the inside of the Krait!

The ship itself looks awesome. Seems to me like a kind of smuggler ship with high manoeuvrability. Definitely something that ticks all the boxes for me.

And yeah, I know we're not getting space legs. But given what I've already seen from Frontier, these videos contain teasers for a lot more than just what they are saying. This video is screaming Space legs...Space legs...space legs...

:cool:

Don't get your hopes too high though.

With three large hardpoints+ and a SLF? I don't think so :p

Oooh shiny! Nice surprise too!

If it has an SLF won't that make it more of a FGS equivalent? Maybe more cargo/less weapons than an FGS... Anyway the python has long needed some competition!

Why is that available only at the Magazines channel, but not on Elite Dangerous channel?

I dont like it when they show people walking about, it gets all those Elite-Feet nerds over excited - please walking around in promo videos breaks my immersion! ;-)

It'll need a class 7 PD to compete with Python, we all remember the original version of the T10 I'm sure so hopefully the Krait mk2 will have the PD to run a Python level weapons array.

It looks like a multirole ship with a SLF. Basically a souped up python a bit less cargo and a SLF. Probably more expensive then the python as well due to the SLF, as that will add a lot of firepower to the ship.
