Pssst. You wanna see a Krait?

PBSF Pendragon · Aug 24, 2017

Pssssst. Crazy kids... Any of y'all wanna see a Krait? We've been lucky enough to receive a copy of the licensed Elite Dangerous RPG here in Pixel Towers, and we're excited by what we see!

We'll be sharing out a little more of the core rule book over the next few days, and keep an eye out for PbP - The Pixel Bandits' Podcast on or around September 3rd, where we'll be having a lovely natter with Spidermind Games producer and writer, exciting times!

Always loved the Krait, no idea why the have not implemented it so far.

It looks...too high tech to be obsolete. Looking at many designs in ED this is far more advanced IMO

That's just the 4 grand bodykit on a 50 quid Vauxhall Nova with dirty plugs and a head gasket made of moss.

Note: Moss comes in Green, Blue and Red for your chosen Faction. (Available in purple, yellow and white for those more independent Cmdrs.)

Looks cool, put it in the game.

Does it? It looks like a diamond with some guns on it.

If that's a godzilla face on the top, that's cool though. I like the godzilla face.

Kids today, a diamond?! That's flash. Back in my day we had a triangle and we were grateful for it.

Love it.

Looks like a FdL prototype, with oddly placed hard points.

Yep, that's definitely a Frontier designed ship; guns placed so far apart you can fit a coriolis in between and still not hit anything. Nice work.

DocDelicious · Aug 25, 2017

That fuel tank though...

Ouch.

It's funny you say that. Concept for FDL was way way better looking than this, or in fact FDL we've got.

Pfft. Even back in Frontier, the Imperial design phallosophy of putting a phallus on everything was still a thing, so don't give me that.

I'm not saying the crab needs more phallus, but, you know. Chicks dig the phallus and uh... vice versa.

As well as the Vulture:

A triangle was a Viper

More triangles meant a Python, or a Boa, and in some cases, an FDL

We could still hope for a Krait though... the one shown is "obsolete" but that doesn't mean there isn't (or won't be) a Krait MK II, or MK III etc etc.

Or that we won't be able to unobsolete it.

To each his own, I suppose. I much prefer the released design to that concept.

I just cannot give you enough rep for this, though you annoyed my wife as I couldn't stop giggling in bed at two am
