Excellent. It’ll be good, then.
Krait Mk. II, it's now a Python analog
- Thread starter TheGrimCorsair
- Start date
Wait, 'ship blueprints' exist? If they expect me to do the same ruin for 30x just to unlock one of the two things I am somewhat interested in this is going to be a brief session for me. [haha]
i managed to freeze frame is as it boosted out of the starport.
It boosted with two pips to engines and appeared to be showing 388 as the speed. The Temperature was at 71%
If this is A rated then its slower than the FDL which unengineered boosts to around 406, however its faster than the Python which flys at 346
Its speed roughly equates to that of the Asp explorer.
For those wanting to know where to look it is exactly 1 minute into the trailer

Where does it say that it has 3 large hardpoints and an SLF?
Also, perhaps there will be ship launched non-fighters and tools that fit into hardpoints, like the new mining stuff?
I want it to be an exploration ship!
The devs said it. In the article linked in the very first post. They described it as a low profile, fast, heavily armed, and pretty durable ship designed to sit in the exact same space the Python sits between a large and medium ship, which means a medium ship with specs comparable to quite a bit heavier vessels. They literally said it has 2 medium and 3 large hardpoints. The article has a picture of the ship firing the weapons. There's also a picture in the article of the ship having just launched a Condor fighter.
It better have garbage utility slots. Power creep on the way!
Not if its a very expensive ship. I expect it to cost around that of the Python, possibly more due to having a hangar.
True dat, forgot those tools as i am no real fan of the weapon category.
I aim to disable not to outright destroy.
Jump range does not matter much for a ship, that aims to be sneaky or blockade running.
A faster booting FSD after malfunction is way more relevant than outright range.
To be frank:
The cost is a flavour thing, there is no game in credits, only in how you play and what you aim to achieve.
We need to let go credits as a balancing factor, or go the hard way and tune up running costs.
No spoiler, so it's not a match for the T-10
Krait Pre-Order Cancelled.
It's most definitely a combat ship, but... if I'm reading it right, I think it'll do great for smuggling and power play cargo transports, since it sounds like it can run cool (silent running) and still fast on the thrust.
Didn't you perceive the heat gauge when boosting?
That thing boosted from 27ish% heat to 78%ish !!!
Hot hot hot!
That's a lot of excitement for a medium sized Viper Mk IV!
Luckily there's a Lakon ship coming out, too...

Didn't pay attention to that. I only assumed from the text that it would be better at sneaking about. Bummer.

Nah the spoiler only gives the ship a higher MLF. Its why the t9 is mass locked by a python while the t-10 can mass lock a cutter.
engineering my friend. i might have to trade the python in for this.
i wonder if it comes with a closet for all my capes?
Bah, the python lacks style and is too good at everything,
this time De Lacey can do the hallmark on style.
MOAR ENGINEZ!!!

But will we have a day 1 ship kit and paint pack?
I need my factory fresh spoiler fix!

Spoilers are a spoiled PFs CMDR's best friend.
Yet they add nothing, better have some booze in your thrusters,
some trusty hounds o' the pack and rails all night!
This is great news. I've been saving for the Krait. The two recent ship releases did not interest me so I just put back cash for the mighty Krait MkII.
Its a very cool looking ship. I have not read all the posts about it but I'm hoping it will have an SLF hanger for my fighter pilots to play in.
Thanks

Yes, it has a SLF bay.
