We have seen the details of new upcoming ships during 2.4- BEYOND updates, Some I am keen for, others not so much.
-This Type-10 "defender" I believe will be a larger type-9 with heavier Armaments (numerous size 2s is a given with possible size 3) and higher Cargo capacity, at current the Imperial Cutter outperforms ALL dedicated trade ships, leaving high ranked players with nothing to really strive for in terms of trading. If it's optional internals Incorporate size 9 compartments (much like the type-9 is fitted with a size 8) then it could very well be an open door to much larger ships than the cutter and corvette.
-The Alliance 'Dropship' looks very unique, The 4 engines appear to look like the osculate, if this is the case then the engine power can be distributed forward and back equally. This is personally my favourite ship design so far. The size of it's canopy in relation to the ship is simular to the Lakon type-7 , which give me reason to believe that this will be a Large ship. The fact that it is referred to as an 'Alliance' ship may point to a proper Alliance Navy Branch of ships (which could very well incorporate the upcoming Krait) I and many others no doubt have been requesting an alliance navy for quite a while. so it would be a nice touch too see more grind
-As mentioned before, there are concepts of the upcoming Krait, looks like a smaller and sleeker vulture. Despite it's size it looks quite fast and is no doubt quite heavily armoured. More of a comparison to a Icourier and vulture as a small hard hitter. shield wise I think it may be very weak. but speed will perhaps compensate for that. it is about time the Icourier got a worthy competitor for speed.
feel free to add and comment!
Take care!
