I'm extremely disappointed that the trailer shows a very poor example of courtesy and control when leaving the slot. It teaches young up-coming commanders that speeding is acceptable. Disgraceful ! 
Krait Mk. II, it's now a Python analog
- Thread starter TheGrimCorsair
- Start date
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...
Each time they show a teaser with people in it, they show progression. We may not be getting legs just yet, but they are definitely working on it ! [up]
I could see a class 6 PD plus the SLF being a pretty fair competition.
That was almost like a Star Citizen commercial. Similar to the Freelancer ad.
No spoiler, so it's not a match for the T-10
Looking at the trailer the Krait Mk II feels like the Millennium Falcon form ED.
I like it, but yet an other ship that makes small ships obsolete.
3 large and 2 medium hard points and a SLF - that's impressively much firepower, that isn't needed…

Flying recklessly near stations is the most fun I ever have in the game.
Looked like a great ship, probably slow to turn but high top speed to balance it out like a mini Cutter!! Really love the downward facing cockpit it will be great for planetary exploration and it will pack a punch!!
Too much space legs!! Looked great and looked like it was rendered in game rather than the super smooth cinematics we have had before with Ram Tah etc!!
The pain!! The hopes!! The damned fears!!!! Oh well back to saving up for military hull for my new corvette!!

This ship could make my Cobra IV redundant !
From the article: "as well as enough firepower to match the Python" - so not necessarily the same/equivalent cargo space i.e. possibly not another ~200t capacity medium ship which is kind of where the Python currently stands alone. Although given that the Chieftan and Challenger are more pew-pew orientated, maybe it will be...
I am waiting for a new exploration ship as well, but at least the Krait seems to be a multi-role and not a combat focus ship. I just hope it has a decent jump range.
I look forward to the class specific module slots. Hopefully this will increase the viability of class specific ships over the multipurpose ships.
You can have a 2-bay fighter hanger even if you only have 2 seats- the extra fighter will just have to be flown by an NPC pilot.
