You mean Taip-8. Brand new ship.Why you gotta cut his face like that.
"Hey, kids! Wanna buy some Type-8?"
So . . . . Type 8 eh?
- Thread starter graeme.firth
- Start date
Looks a bit like Ki-Arf Mundi
Not bad... My Python might be due for a refit...
My Python is crying indeed since she's be dethroned from being the Queen of medium haulers...
But... The Poor Type-7
Arthur also noted he made a bit of a boo-boo calling the T8 a fighter freighter too. Its very much a more stable, slower SCO medium cargo box.
Yeah the speed seems slow on the T8 but cargo good. And number of hard points good. Could be an ok miner. But armed freighter, nope. I didn't hear the number on the jump range just a comparison
And released in Aug (not sure if generally public avail or early access) and pp 2.0 in Sept

Mine is now breathing a sigh of relief. No more feeling guilty for flying around as a cold running smuggling ship with not the max cargo. My T9 on the other hand is shaking in it's boots, as the new kid will outperform it when trading from or to outposts deep in the system.

Weird that it won't be good in a fight - not much use for Open Only PP2.0

It was explicitly trailed as a ship for players that aren't interested in combat, though.
Well, since they upped the medium pad hauling by almost 50%... i kinda have high hopes for Panther Clipper... assuming they will up the large pad hauling also with close to 50% - which IMO carriers made this increase kinda long due already
We got a lot of great stats today, but I would really like to know the dimensions and the hull mass!
Depends- if there is a lot of running away the cooler, more stable SCO drive will certainly come in handy.....Weird that it won't be good in a fight - not much use for Open Only PP2.0

Also interesting in the video with even pips at full thrust it was doing 153 though Art said it was fast but that seems slower than Python. Maybe it’s different with full engine pips.

Stock speed probably, no A grade stuff, no engineering.
5 smalls
153 with 2 pips to ENG, probably no engineering. My quesstimation (based on how T7 behaves) is somewhere around 300 m/s non-boost speed with G5 dirty drags and 4 pips to ENG, without cargo. Probably around 500 m/s boost with G5 dirty drags and no cargo.
