The Type 10 needs a nerf already !

Looking at the screen shot again ....

It's never going to make it out through the slot. The vertical thrusters are too weak for the ship. Come on FD, this ship needs a nerf already ;)

Or is that Commander Thrust in control? He doesn't need the slot, he just boosts through the wall [big grin]

It's already rubbish. Not known but limited and a copy and probably limited by cut and paste design, don't hope for more. Expect Gruel. Oliver.
 
Well it's called the Defender. I'm afraid we will still need a T-9 buff to get a good "pure" heavy hauler. Which isn't bad. The T9 needs a buff either way. It's pretty much the only ship in the game that seems to be made with a different design philosophy. Most ships in the game don't have to sacrifice much (or often nothing at all) for their specialization. The Type 9 sacrifices everything for cargo capacity that isn't even close to best in class. It makes no sense when you look at all the other ships.

Except it's way cheaper than it's 'competitors'. We really need to compare it to the Python instead, as they are much closer in price than a type 9 compared to even an anaconda.

If it were to get a buff, it'd need to be a 200 ton weight reduction, as a quality of life improvement. If we gave it more cargo space, it'd just be an even bigger slug than now, and only masochists would fly it with its new 10ly or less jump range.

But I'm probably getting off topic.....
 
Agreed. I expect at least a 30% increase in base speed over the T-9, two more medium hardpoints, less cargo capacity, but tougher hull.

If REALLY lucky, a C7 FSD.

^^^ Pure Guesstimation ^^^

No, if REALLY REALLY lucky, it will have the new C8 FSD that was referenced in the beta. That would be awesome!
 
I am really hoping that the T-10 is the answer for everyone who have been clamoring for a buff of the T-9’s cargo capacity. How many posts have we seen asking for another class-8 cargo slot to help the T-9 compete with the Cutter. I will be somewhat disappointed if the T-10 doesn’t carry more cargo than the T-9. Charge me triple the credits if you must, but please give us a ship that looks and feels like it was designed to carry cargo and indeed carries the most.

Amen to that!

<Humor>

I am currently flying the T10 and i can tell you that it's awesome. The view from the cockpit, the internal compartments and the - for the mass - agility and jump fange make this ship a powerhouse for trading and mining.

What i do not like, however, is the still not existing ability to just enter the amount of tons you want to buy or sell. This makes trading in the t10 a bit tedious when you want to buy have various positions of 200-300 tons.
