Rename lakon line?

I wish I could help your OCD - but I don't agree. To have missing gaps is a touch of reality, that model that never made it off the drawing board, or past the first exhibition.
ED needs small touches of reality to help balance the huge load of compromises to make it a game.
Asp Explorer -> Type 5
Asp Scout -> Type 4
Chieftan -> Type 3
Diamondback Explorer -> Type 2
Diamondback Scout -> Type 1
There. All Lakon Ships are now a Lakon Type x.

Needs two more new ships. The "Type Type" and the "Type Ship Type Number".
And some cowbell
Missing? You mean you don't know? The Type 8 is an amazing ship, and it's not that hard to get. You just have to fly a Type-9 to Hutton Orbital, and do the "Chop Shop" mission from there to Smeaton and back.
They'll convert your Type-9 into the lighter-weight, double armored Type-8 at the end.
Type 8 should be a redesigned Type 7 that can land on medium pads. Same specs but different footprint. The Python shouldn't be the best outpost trading ship.
I don't like the name 'Type' in any regard, so I propose:
Type 6 -> Mini-mover
Keelback -> Maxi-mini
Type 7 -> Terrapin
Type 9 -> Pancake
Type 10 defender -> Twinkle-toes

You ( edit He ) will love the cobra mkII then. ..
(I quoted wrong post)Btw anyone think it would be cool to find wrecks now and then of ships like the original krait, cobra mkI and boa etc. Nothing too detailed just planet wreckage of ships long crashed (like jamesons cobra)

Btw I definitely think we need a keelback XL based on the T7 hull
I like how the Types are just their regular freighter line, while the others have their own special designations. If anything, I'd say that the T10 should be renamed to something else, as it is basically a keelbacked T9, which would then open up the name T10 for something more in line with the Cutter.
The missing numbers I see as being a good way of future proofing the line, as they provide little slots for FD to backfill as necessary. For example, we could eventually see a "Type-8 Compact", that is a T7 with slightly shorter landing gear so we have a medium trader to compete with the Python. Likewise, it would be nice to see a "Type-5 Commercial" that is a slightly smaller T6 that can fit on landing pads.
