This Core Dynamics concept ship looks awesome, can we have it please FDev?

I agree than a few new Marks are needed to add some variance and an Alliance ship(s) would balance things out (FD is all about balance, right?).

Historically, tech evolution is dramatically increased during war, so let's bring on the Thargoids and their organic craft and start the arms race.:cool:
 
The armored plating on these things kind of makes me think of the flaws baked into the Death Star. Understandably though, people probably find diamond type shapes more aesthetically pleasing than rectangles.

Has anyone pointed out that this looks very much like an early mockup of a Corvette?

It's like a cross between it and the Vulture in some ways. I kind of like it.

Looking back through the digital artbook, I noticed this concept ship tucked away on one of the pages;

Can only assume it is the Core Dynamics Hawk (FHK designation) - it looks like the big-brother of the Vulture.

It would be a great alternative to the FDL by the looks of things, any chance of it being included soon FDev? [yesnod] The game certainly needs more premium ship variety...
That looks awesome!

The key think to note is the 'FHK' designation on the side... Federal Hawk (similar to the FVU on the side of the Vulture). It also looks a lot smaller than the corvette scale-wise.

Yeah, looks to me like it's somewhere between an fdl and a Python.
 
The Alliance also boasts the "most efficient ship yards in the galaxy" at New Rosyth in Alioth. So entirely feasible for the Alliance to build its own ships. It's about time they removed the mothballs from those shipyards and started producing ships again. Or has FD lost that piece of lore in the re-make :(

You'd think with the Prime Minister's dominant PP position it would be on the agenda.

Good sources tell me that the new core dynamic ship to be assembled is one Panther Clipper.

Just ask the president !

You know this for certain? It looks nothing like it, and has a different name code printed on the side...

I remember when there was a concept design for the Cutter knocking around before it was announced, and everyone was saying "don't get excited, this is the Imperial Clipper".

Well for some time I have this idea of splitting the FDL into separate and distinct brothers :

1. The Saud Kruger exploration FDL which feature massively increased jump range, and fuel, then add the real built in fuel scoop and add (and maybe tweak the config) the ability for it's internal slot to use luxury cabin (or make it a permanent cabin).

Can be balanced by making the ship slower more sluggish and maybe downgrade the power distributor.

2. Core dynamics heavy tank FDL, significantly buff the hull (twice or more), add military internal slots, upgrade the power distributor, upgrade 2 of it's medium hardpoints into large ones.

Without touching anything, it should already slower, less agile and even worse jump range, ship size might be increased a bit too to make room for the bigger things.

3. Gutamaya version of light interceptor FDL, basically courier on steroids, decrease the mass, give it paper thin hull (like half or a third of the original), to compensate it could be faster, more agile and has a bit more shield, also give it the more drastic change that may be a little shocking here, remove the huge hardpoint and in place of it, give it two large hardpoints under the ship, and depending on balance might as well add one more medium hardpoint on the nose of the ship, all this without buffing the power distributor.

Price can be adjusted but they all more expensive than the base FDL.

That's my dream :p
