What a load of crap. That's an FDev problem, not a player problem. Its their responsiblity to come up with interesting new ships, not the players. Or they should make some ships completely customizable so they can do any job the player wants. But for players to be hostile to the very idea of new ships that may or may not overlap other ships is just stupid.
New Ships When?

More winged ships would be nice, for atmospheric landings.
Also a more diverse cast of NPC ships flying around stations and trade runs to / from planets.
The one thing this game really needs is more semblance of life via NPC ships and characters...
I almost bought the Imp Courier ship kit as one of the front addons looks nice, but none of the wings even line up with the main body wings and the back bits just look terrible - but you still have to buy the entire kit.

There's a lot of things that are Fdev's job that feels like they have no interest in doing. This is also just a forum where we can vent ideas into the void. It's not a place where Fdev gets ideas from or takes advice from or in any way utilizes a bi-directional communication with players. This is not your avenue to tell Fdev your point of view or ideas. It's here as a dump for press releases and a way for players to talk to other players and relieve the frustration of a game that is always almost great if not for X,Y,Z that fdev seems insistent on doing.
And fart jokes. Never forget the fart jokes.
Rumour is that all current ships are being 'retired' apart from the Cobra III... (and engineering is to go along with anything other than D rated modules)
Far too much choice in the game as it stands so remember, you heard the rumour first right here
You'll take my Sidewinder from my cold dead hands....
Expect for the fuel tank, that is apparently still a loaner, and my Cmdr STILL doesn't own that part....
Now that is a massive oversight
You may mock, but I've had awesome fun in my ASP Scout doing the adamastor event -fully armed and highly agile she skips between the stars with her 49 ly jump range, runs cold too, she has ice in her veins. The ASP Scout is a wonderful ship.
So you're thinking in terms of a patrol gunboat? Low strength, low speed and defence, and basically lined with machine guns....I could get down with that...
Low speed, definitely no. A small combat ship that is slow is a small ship that will get vaporized, no thanks. I'm talking more a Federal "Courier" with smalls instead of mediums.
I know I'm late to the party but I'd rather not create another thread while this one exists.
I'd like some new ships as well, not sure why there's even an argument "have you flown all of them?" Well, in my case, yes, but who cares? I'll never really enjoy the big ships, does it matter that I've never flown the cutter if that's the case? (I have, fully engineered it feels like flying a cow on rollerskates)
I certainly wouldn't mind more ships in this spaceship sim, unpopular opinion possibly but I couldn't care less about being able to walk around, maybe with the exception of moving/floating around my ship. Seriously, there are a thousand games I can walk around and shoot stuff in, and precious few with such a robust flight model and a feeling of truly being in space. I agree that from the perspective of loadout and flight characteristics, they've got most if not everything covered. I would love more aesthetics to choose from, why not? Come out with another ship that flies like an fdl, but make it look like (insert your favorite fighter here), the alliance ships were a step in the right direction, more like that please.

More ships would be nice. That said I'm a big advocate of utilizing what you've already got and some of the current ships are very underutilized. I'd really like to see underperforming ships brought up a bit.
But both? yeah both would be nice. New ships and makes sure all of the old ones have a niche.

Have you killed a Hydra in your Asp Scout?
No. No new ships for you!
Only because you lured the Thargoids into a false sense of security:
LOL! Look at this guy! He brought an Asp Scout!
........frack, I'm dead! 
I would definitely like more ships. If we look at what we have now https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/586664288932408493/ I would like to see a combat ship as bid as the beluga and there is big size gaps between the python and the big 3.
They ask for it because they know it won't fit through the toaster.
they would need a new outside dock just for this new whale.
New ships, even if they would barely bring more than "more of the same" to the table, are allways appreciated, if only for fresh looks. If we get a second vulture-style ship? Okay, fine by me, gimme maybe something imperial and less blocky looking. A Federal Courier? Count me in! Saud Kruger combat ships because why not? Corporations explore new markets too! There are still possibilities, and even if we get "more of the same in a different dress", that's okay, because variety is the spice of life.
I'm not the only one...
I picked that one up while skipping through the thread tbh, but it is a decent Idea. Still, there is enough really good concept art around to make more variety. Give it to us, it can't hurt. Give sidegrades, give variety, that is good.
I'm always keen for new ships, for the sake of increased variety at starports if nothing else. I'm content though - when the Mamba turned up and completed the original set from "Elite" (I suppose that a case could be made for the Constrictor if you had one of the "fancier" versions of Elite with missions).
If they want to complete the set from the original then they still need the Boa, the Bushmaster, and possibly some others.
