Comms Chatter
The Centauran Herald, a fictional news website, is creating a blog that fictionalizes current event inside the Alpha and Premium Beta.

Veep on the forums has created a spreadsheet that you can print and use to record your travel and profits... Pen & paper commander's log.

And lastly, David Jung has been creating some fantastic videos online of Elite: Dangerous.

The Centauran Herald link is wrong, its the sama as the pen and paper link...

Nope. Both the puma and the adder are much flatter ships. Also, the Puma Clipper was a 1000t 9 crewed ship in the two previous games. This one looks about 30-40t max.

Atmospheric Shuttle

Here's why:

Smallish
Re-entry shielding
Wings for lift and control in an atmosphere.

Then it's likely a completely new ship. These nothing in FE2 or FFE that has a small ship with four engines and the stubby wings.

I bet that Michael Brookes is having a good laugh where ever he is. With a simple caption naming the thing, all this speculation would be null and void, but where's the fun in that.

I've been through the ship lists in my FE2 and FFE manuals, I think you're right, it's most likely a new ship.

Maybe a "Lion Cub"?

Please excuse the delays but newsletters are not available at the time I go to bed, and I wake up extremely early on Saturdays to put up the official thread (It's very early Saturday as I type this

). On some rare occasions people beat me to it though.

Sorry merging / moving single posts was not a viable option in this case.

Please continue in the official thread here
