The actual words were : free access to one of 5 new ships

That leaves a lot of room for interpretation.

Also OP - you list Python as a combat ship. Its a multipurpose one.
 
I want a ship that is between the Asp and the Python. Fast, good maneuverability, cool Core Dynamic design, good jump range, not to much cargo space, 2 large and two medium hard points. A diamondback "like it should have been" type of ship. Not to big, but big enough to have a chance against the big ships. A smugglers dream ship, a get in and out fast ship.

i'd like to see a very large crew ship to captain larger than the conda , more like the enterprise , just sitting outside the station waiting to be re fueled and re armed ready to go where etc etc
 
Fed corvette, and after that 2 Alliance ships. :)
To even out things between the factions and that as soon as possible.
 
Agreed. I had hoped the Diamondback would be in this space, no pun intended, as I feel there's a gap or two between Asp and Python.
+1

I would like to see an Alliance specific ship.
I offcourse also voted for Thairgoids above.

What was the name of the ship in that first mission in Elite?
 
I want a big-ass fully exploration ship that is not as ugly as the Asp or other explorations ships in the game.

The aspect is pretty important, I love the DBE and the Asp, but everytime I see one my eyes hurt
 
Federal Corvette got my vote, although... I'd love a Python variant that's faster. I'd give up all my cargo space and a hardpoint for a Python with high top speed and better pitch speed.

I think that's called an FDL...

I'm surprised that this has become a pretty much forgotten topic.

Rep to ya
 
there should be a ship variant / additional customization for what we've got option too!

Make things really interesting and get rid of the size assignments of the Internal Compartment module bays. Give each ship a total optional module size and let each CMDR decide how best to utilize it based on the size of each module they buy until it's all used up. No more putting a size 1 scanner in a size 2 bay just because that's the only way you can do it.

Why would anyone design the Asp as an explorer and NOT have two class 1 compartments for the scanners? The wasted module space has always been one of the most illogical aspects of outfitting.

Such an awesome idea would never make it out of development, not since like mechwarrior 3 have i been able to stick what I wanted everywhere :p
 
Since they're starting to do variants of existing ships, I want a combat-oriented Clipper variant: same speed, same range, same hardpoint placement,

You want the same hardpoint placement? Along with bad shielding, its probably the single most limiting factor for the Clipper as a combat vessel. Mounting those C3s on the fuselage alone would greatly increase the combat potential.

As to the OP, the last five(!) ships added were smaller vessels. Something larger, to give us other options around or between the Python and the Conda would be great. I don't even particularly care what its role is.
