So . . . . Type 8 eh?

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.

You’re right sorry, typo’d my own notes. Corrected.

I figured it’s all stock for the engines but the Python I believe does 187 with stock and 2 pips.
 
At the end of the video I think they said when it will be T8 and when it will be PP2.0. This is not my native language, can you write me about it here ?
 
I will buy this ship as soon as they give an access to it in ARX-shop, but I don't need it. It is not for me, just like Piton. I want a mid-sized yacht from Saud Kruger!
 
2 small hardpoints each side of the cockpit. 1 small somewhere above the cockpit. Seems people haven't been able to locate the remaining 2 smalls...but I think they're here:

When the ones besides the cockpit are retracted, they look the same:

Hi All :)

I've just watched the livestream, interesting,...so we have most of the information on the core internal / optional / weapon hardpoints of the Type 8, and it can carry approximately a 100t more cargo space (potentially) than the Python .
Okay, in the video showing the main rear thrusters (8 at least were shown 'working' in the video) I noticed that there's another four rectangular 'vents'? inboard of the eight thrusters. Well they look like some sort of vents / exhaust to me. :unsure:...anyone have any theory's as to their function?...as far as I could tell in the video they didn't seem to have any use as such.
Perhaps they are just graphical embellishments, but they seem kinda suspicious to me...:sneaky: :D

Jack :)
 
I am hearing T8 is early access starting in Aug, not sure if that is already widely known. One of the ED streamers sent an email to Fdev asking and got a response.

It can carry 406 tons tops.
400 tons with a free size 1 and size 2 intermal (sca + adc, shieldless)
Depending on hull mass, it may be able to fit a size 4 shield gen, reducing the cargo to 386 sca+adc


So, no rework for the Type-7 ? No shrinking it's size to fit Medium pad or a proper increase in cargo space? Strange that a rectangular brick that size, does not carry 450T or something...

Why would anyone design a cargo ship with this shape?

Yea, bit weird that a medium ship with that shape can carry more cargo that the brick that is the Type 7.
