I would rather them fix the existing ships that have become obsolete, or were just always terrible (Asp Scout).
These days, I struggle to find a reason to fly anything other than my Python, my ExploraDolphin, my mining Orca, and my bulk trading Cutter. Now and then maybe my Combat Krait (simply to rank up my now-Dangerous NPC pilot), but that's about it. Not sure what they could add to a new ship that would entice me to fly it for more than a week just to say I gave it a try.I would rather them fix the existing ships that have become obsolete, or were just always terrible (Asp Scout).
They won't repeat that mistake for sure. And the Cobra IV is not and was never rubbish. In fact it got even more valuable in Odyssey with it's many small pad only settlements.All I want is a ship exclusive to people that preordered Odyssey - don't even care if it's rubbish like the Cobra 4, I just want to see people moan while I watch my CPU burn.
So very true. Unless one is just into RPing in game, most of the ship are just hangar fillers.Thing is.. alot of ships are, trying to be diplomatic, useless.
I suspect that ships like the Asp Scout and the Diamondback Scout were added to be "destroyable ships" for players in CZ. They made them playable because otherwise players would complain, but really, their use is... limited... mabye an ingenious player will know how to work with them, but that's beyond me.Thing is.. alot of ships are, trying to be diplomatic, useless.
Presumption is you can earn a billion in a week easily.
Seems to me that if they added a zero to the price of all ships. Now that would make em all relevant again hehe.
I doubt it. We must face it, we PAID to be alpha testers and I can't say that I was completely fooled, because it said cleary "Alpha release". I foolishly asumed that once the DLC was properly released, they would give me something else than the pioner suit. I mean, when they incorporated Horizons to the game completely they gave out ship paints for all ship, so I thought that maybe "1,000 ARX thanks for your help and trust on us".All I want is a ship exclusive to people that preordered Odyssey - don't even care if it's rubbish like the Cobra 4, I just want to see people moan while I watch my CPU burn.
Nah, I don't think so. Even today, those ships have a use. Have you flown an Asp Scout recently?I suspect that ships like the Asp Scout and the Diamondback Scout were added to be "destroyable ships" for players in CZ.

I agree some of the ships are less than amazing. But that has nothing to do with the price. Paying ten times as much for a T-7 wouldn't make it any better.
I have a Cutter and still run a Clipper, two Vipers, and a Krait Phantom. Getting a top-tier ship doesn't necessarily make others obsolete. The Clipper and Krait are both currently outfitted to run cargo. Different roles. What makes the Adder and T7 obsolete is just that they aren't very good ships. The Adder especially just doesn't need to exist. The T7 carries a reasonable amount, but it flies like a barn. Making them more expensive would definitely force people to keep flying them. But it wouldn't make them better ships. You'd just have people mad about flying junk.Sure it would. Players right now can skip it entirely, so it's completely useless. But if you actually needed to spend more than an hour before jumping straight into a t9, you would have more reason to use the lower tiers of ship, like the t7, or Adder.
I'll take mine in red, please.Something like NASA's Mars Rover prototype wouldn't look out of place in Elite.

It looks like something out of this world, but that’s exactly where it would work. A futuristic Mars rover concept vehicle was recently unveiled at thewww.nasa.gov
Remind a bit the MAKO from MassEffect though.
Interesting, and quite humorous since all the moaning I hear is FROM people who bought Odyssey.All I want is a ship exclusive to people that preordered Odyssey - don't even care if it's rubbish like the Cobra 4, I just want to see people moan while I watch my CPU burn.

The solution to this is volume based design. If you give the ship hardpoints and then the rest of the ship is built to your specifications, not to Compartments, the validity of the ship becomes a matter of your design philosophy rather than what you are forced into.It’s been years since we got a new ship. Any chance we will get a new ship any time soon?

Take a ship, gut it except for the hardpoints. This is what the shipyard sells.I don't understand what this means.
