Large cargo ship with SCO, a request for when it comes.

[Raedawn]

Please do not make the SCO version of the largest Cargo ship look anything like the Type - 9 or Type - 10 (they are both hideous).

Less important but still desirable: please don't make it look like the Imperial Cutter (despite that I use it mostly for carrying cargo, I keep buying Caviar and Champagne every stop I make because I cannot get it out of my head that I'm piloting a cruise ship).

My preferred look would be along the lines of the Type-6 (a beauty that unfortunately I have never had a real need to fly, but still love the design).

Thanks,

RAEDAWN

I agree. It sounds like the new large haulage ship is likely to be the much anticipated Panther Clipper MKII. I also have a preference for spaceships that don't have wings or spoilers and aren't trying to be cars. And I did have a very good reason to fly the Type-6 back in the day when it was the bridge trader to get one's Asp and Type-7, which in turn was the bridge ship to the Python, when it was much harder to earn credits from all of the game's activities, not just trading.

To begin with they expected us to go out mining without limpets...

For me it looks like big alliance warship.

I am not sure if they will introduce bigger ships, I would just like to see them tweak the T9 some, just replace one class 7 with 8 and one class 6 with 7. But what I would rather see the carrier get doubled the cargo capacity. That alone would make them hubs for our squadrons on a new level.

I think they will and should add a ship with exactly 1,000 units of hauling when not using shields or landing assistance. Why? ( you need 5248 steel) it is 5 loads + 248 this makes the math easy. I also believe the carrier is too small now and suggested being able to add Cargo Modules where the other ones go inside the carrier each adding 2,500 units of capacity (finally a reason for having something in those slots).

Interesting POV. I use google sheets so for me it can be even 1221,7 T

being able to add Cargo Modules

An empty carrier with no modules has 25k ton storage, that is the "cargo modules". Are we considering pocket dimension storage now

Ahh!
The Keelback MkII aka the Keelback XL

LOL......Perhaps a BIT more rounded !

In my humble opinion, I am not a fan of thrusters in front of thrusters. From the images I've seen the past years, I'm not fond of most designs because of the thruster locations (Alliance Crusader/Chief) but this one appears the main thrusters are in the rear and sides (?).

If those side (rotating) front thrusters are not engaged in normal flight, I could live with it.
I don't like this design either but to each their own I guess.
Have a great day

Oooh, Sexy !

Okay, apparently my quoting skills need improvement: meant to get pic and not words and....failed.

WOW, I didn't see the person in the pic till later. HUGE.

I don’t care how it will look. I think in general cargo ships prioritize carrying capacity over looks anyway.
