New (new) ship teased - Type-11 Prospector

[Weps]

What load? It seems like it will be a medium ship.

It will be a medium, they confirmed this. But the Mandalay is a 400ish T ship. The Type-8 by comparison can be outfitted to be twice as heavy.

I expect the Type-11 to also be a much heavier ship than the Mandalay, even without payload.

Hypothetical sci-fi math jokes aside, Mandalay landing gear on a Lakon ship just won't look good. And it breaks the whole "Lakon theme" they were so proud of.

My only concern is that the brightness of the lasers gets annoying cause it's next to the cockpit.

You'll get that fine laser tan. Only on your right side.

 

[Unknown Zombie]

Damn, this thing looks efin sexy

I'd like to see something like this, bristling with guns, point defences, missile racks etc. - a absolute nutter of a large ship designed for ship-to-ship pew pew.

You'll get that fine laser tan. Only one your right side.

When you're mining in a dark planetary ring, the mining laser will be very bright and it flashes a lot on the right side of the cockpit. I think it'll be too annoying.

Seconded a heavily armed, large combat vessel.

It looks a bit like the Betty of Alien: Resurrection.

I just watched the stream and they told us.

That's like trucker's arm?

 

[aRJay]

Yeah, from the design and placement of the cockpit it looks like this thing will have an awesome field of view.

Except to starboard where somebody has blocked off the view with a tunnel boring machine.

 

[aRJay]

How can you immediately recognize the T-11 Commander? By the sunglasses...

And the truckers tan.

 

[Pville_Piper]

Nah, just need a mirror in the cockpit...

 

[heathenlamb]

Battleship...
It's flying through the remains of a planet it nuked from orbit...

It's the only way to be sure ...

I imagine the landing gear will look like the type 8 gear, industrial, considering they share an industrial style. Not sure why you think they will be like the Mandalay?

Could be the first multi-mode "weapon" - capable of laser mining and abrasion blasting or something,

I’m hoping it’s lots of smaller mining lasers surrounding a massive hoover so you just suck up the bits of asteroid as you go …

 

[tolm]

One side of the head massively tanned …

 

[tolm]

Really like it - looks very cool and intrigued by the “new mining” feature … hope it’s not really niche, though, would want to use this for general mining as well, I think.

 

[kofeyh]

A medium ship with a bespoke mining laser that Frontier are being intentionally vague about.

.. oh good.

Millennium Falcon up front, Klingon Bird of Prey at the back... or, in other words; Sabacc up front, t'Sang at the back.
