Elite / Frontier Ship Comparison Table

Just remembered how I still have this handy thingy which I made 10 years ago. I hope somebody might find it useful.

Thanks for posting! I made a similar table myself copying and pasting from the community expanded manual. I didn't pay attention to the hyperdrive ranges though - are the ones in your table from the manual or are they ones you calculated?
 
I Sincerly hope that all of these ships except the ones that have made it to the game, makes it to the game even if they are out of production. There is bound to be a large market for used ships.
