Well I didn't think the Conda and T9 are fed ships, that's why I asked here, wanted clarification. But looking at the pic, it seems to be bigger or at least the same size as the Anaconda. So the Dropship is the only playable fed ship? It's not even that big, smaller than a T7.

Tasty. Very tasty.
I'm also kinda wondering.. if it's bigger than an anaconda just what is it for? In PvE it's just massive over-kill. In PvP it'll be huge target for every eagle of viper. I can see where it'd be useful in wing related content, but then again who is going to pay for it's upkeep and what is there to do in it that cant be done in smaller ships?
Please release at same time as an imperial ship.... the feds don't like me much
As would I. The Imperial Courier was the biggest combat ship you could get in Elite 2 and 3. Everything bigger was basically a trader, which includes the constrictors. Python, Boa and Anaconda. You could use a Panther as barely mobile brick, but it handled like a T9 at 0 throttle. A perfect of example of just because it's the most expensive ship in the game and can mount the biggest weapons, didn't mean it was good to do so.
It's nice to see them flushing out actual combat ships while at the same time stressing the distinction between "multirole" and "dedicated" and that there is a performance cost for that flexibility.
I'm curious as to what rank requirement it'll have. Should probably go and work on my Federation ranks since they're likely going to get harder. Baron in ED was ridicuously easy. In Elite 2, it took me months grinding hundreds of missions against the Federation.
Edit - Note to devs. Can we have the Imperial Trader pleeeeaase? I miss my better than a Python in every way Imperial trade ship. It's difficult to bring indentured servitude to the galaxy when you have to fly a rust bucket. You should be able to do so in elegance and style with a 350+ cargo hold at ludicrous speed.

It might be the same size. It's not likely we'll see a ship bigger than those two.
This is here-say and third hand knowledge but I saw a mod post once saying they thought they recall an old Dev post confirming the Conda is the biggest ship we'll see.
Don't take that to the bank. But it's difficult to work it out from a picture with no contextual reference so let's just say "it looks really big"
The only other Fed ship so far is the dropship, what the line means is, AFAIK, this will be the largest playable fed ship including any future ships. That thing looks vicious, btw.
I find the Anaconda to be pretty dull in the DK2, very plastic looking and stripped down (empty / hollow).
Is... is that a tiny Farragul ? DO WANT ! DO WANT NAW !
Oh! Maybe it's a transformer! That'd a thing to see when planetary landings come along eh?
I really like the idea of larger player ships, i am not a dog fighter, but i like the idea of combat in a big well armed/armoured ship with auto turrets. So i hope this is larger than the conda.
But only way it could be, is it was not dockable. So would have to be a non-trade ship, with a landing bay for a shuttle ship or fighters. (and upgrades to be transportable.)
I doubt this will happen though.
