Lynx Bulk Carriers
- Thread starter jadefriendly
- Start date
Thargoid Ice Cream ship. Their cruisers drop out of SC and latch on to the Vanilla pops to refuel.
6000 glorious tonnes of freighter.
used to see them sometimes sitting outside stations in Frontier / First Encounters
would make me very happy to see the odd one loading up (via tugs - haulers?) next to an extraction outpost, with a couple of escorts pootling about guarding it from unscrupulous pirates...

So... toilet brushes eh? What is this, Space Balls?
and if one is near a station, you can help it with filled/dropping the cargo by just accepting a mission?? would be a nice add on!
That design actually made me lol! I hope FD don't implement these because I would crash every time I see one because of laughing so hard!! 
Which is a good job, they have a hell of a time trying to scoop.
I could see that ship making an appearance after we get first person movement and multi-crew ships. A little alteration to make the storage pods fit through the letterbox and then you have a multi-trader ship that flies to a station, parks outside, and the smaller storage areas separate and fly in to do business. Or fly it yourself and spend 2 days trading at one station, I don't care. If you want to fly around with 60 million in cargo....

I miss the big economy ships, too.
The game needs to have immersive means of factions providing a big haul of supplies to remote locations,
or to distribute bulkware to the masses.
Looking forward to bigger NPC trader vessels, or even some larger patrolcraft.

i think it's BEAUTIFUL
It's funny you should say that, as the other huge ship you couldn't fly, the Long Range Cruiser http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Long_Range_Cruiser was often parked right outside the station entrance and you had to be paying attention not to crash into it.That design actually made me lol! I hope FD don't implement these because I would crash every time I see one because of laughing so hard!!
Using Buffet, I once flew one of these down to the planet surface and landed it at London ... it's so huge, it covers half of London.
commander big bad lynx likes a lot!
