Wasn't the Hunter just the concept art for the Imperial Fighter?
Following on from this design language (assuming that's what this is), what looks can we expect from other Alliance ships?
Does the Taipan fit? Or will this potentially call for a dedicated Alliance SLF?
I personally hold out hope for a jet-fighter shaped answer to the Eagle and maybe even as powerful as a Viper 3. Forward swept wings and canard-like structure with thrusters within. Basically a spiritual successor to the Saker.

I thought the T10 was Alliance? If you have a rough analogy to other superpowers the Chief is dropship / clipper size, the T10 massive big 4 material leaving maybe a small courier sized fighter (since the Taipan is the Alliance small fighter?) to round out the lineup.
Not sure if the Krait is an alliance ship. Didn't the designer say something about all new alliance ships will have new names?
I think we'll get 3-4 Alliance ships, like for the Feds/Imperials.
I'm not a fan of the chieftain design, but I appreciate them trying to do something "different".

The problem is, the classic ships tended to be hundreds of years old. It's as if mankind lost its imagination. Sure many people want a nostalgia trip but new stuff is good
Disagree entirely.
It looks like a Dropship, a Type 6 and 2 Clippers became one lol
Where as I like the chieftain design and think it looks like a Lakon.
We do need the rest of the legacy ships, but I don't mind a mix being introduced until all the old ships are sorted.
Wouldn't expect the Moray Starboat until we have seas to land it in though.

Most of the ships haven't followed the Classic 84 era design shapes. Only The Cobra, Sidewinder, Python and Asp are roughly the same as their 84 counterparts (with added greebling, fins etc.). All the rest are new designs with the exception of the Eagles which come from F:E2 (even the ones that share names such as the Viper, Adder or FdL are very different shapes to the originals).
