Next ships?

[Fox White]

Not that Im ungrateful about the 1.5 update "Ships" but anyone have a guess whats going to roll out with the next update?

Personally I was a little let down that 3 of the 5 new ships were only reskins, albiet very nice and all fun to have and fly. That being said I would not mind if they did that for all ships to add a little variety. Especially with the multirole ships to allow them to be more specialized in a role.

I would like to see an explorer ship priced between the Asp and Anaconda.

Something with 30+ jump range in a full A-rated/combat spec. Same maneuverability as the Asp with slightly better speed, maybe 4 medium hard points. One or two more internals.

Probably won't happen but one can hope.

Except for fighters for the fighter bays, though I expect it'll just be the CQC ones so maybe doesn't count! Hopefully we'll get some new SRVs

 

[Loskene]

I want water/lava landings and the goddamned moray

Yup .. was seriously trying not to give a flippant answer

Local area defence/attack ships have been mentioned many times, including the latest newsletter 160?.... but I have vague memories of someone from FD saying that Season 2 will probably ? not see any more new ships

 

[Bomba Luigi]

They did say somwhere once that in Season 2 large Trading Ships will come, cant remember where that was tough. And then of course ship launched Fighters, I think thats all we know for sure at this point. But I doubt thats all that will come and suprises are always possible. who expected the Keelback before he was announced?

Edit: And yes, other vehicles will come too.

 

[LameoveR]

Yeah.
New explorer 30kk with 30ly jump and 3C guns with 6 internals and two Utility.
New trader Type-8 with 15ly jump, 3c guns and 200cargo. Still can't land on outposts.
New fighter with two huge hardpoints, two large hardpoints and 5C reactor.

Please, let them fix present ships, then ask for new useless ones.

I'd like to see an actual imperial warship.
or they could just fix the one that they arleady added...

id also like to see some long range combat ships in the medium and large ship classes.

you can keep trying ... but my money is on NO increase in jump range for combat ships


good try though

I want a deathstar.... But if that is undo-able I will settle for a super-stardestroyer.

well said! We haven't see an imperial warship yet indeed!

I'd also like to see the best trading ship with huge cargo capacity, Panther Clipper, also I'd like to see Belunga (or whatever called) Liner and passenger missions to appear as well!

 

[SGT TickleFight]

I know there are a lot of other things FD is working on, but I can't see a whole year go without adding ships to a game about flying ships...

We can only hope it happens i would buy a 60-200 million deep space explorer with 35+ jump range and all the necessary internals !

An increase and new ships are different things all together.
theres only three ships I'd say we're primed to recieve an increase in jump range.
The FDL, Type 9, and Corvette.
a bounty hunting ship, a long hauler, and a long range patrol craft.
im not sure what you're afraid of happening, it's not like the FSD wake scanner works on players that know how to evade pursuit.
flick through the higher end ships fit for combat looking for a diecent jump range and combat prowess. You will find yourself hovering over the conda.
The alternative and imo a better solution would be to just put a flat increase across the board. Sub 15 LY jumprange on multimillion credit ships are just a needless hinderance on gameplay.
Likely a good percentage of complaints about nothing to do in this game are due to the fact that it takes you half an hour just to get somewhere to do something.

I can't wait for the Beluga liner, I sure hope it looks as slick as the concept art. Love that design.
not really all that intrigued by the Panther clipper personally. I would be if we didn't already have the cutter, it being a trade ship and all...

 

[TigerTen]

Correct me if I'm wrong, where we not to get" the Panther clipper " in 1.5 but they where still working it. To be released this year 2016 first quarter.View attachment 93720
