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

It's still recognisable as the Imp Courier, though. This Hawk, if that is indeed what it was called, looks like a different ship from the Old Skool Hawk. Anyway, my point is that there is a wealth of already existing Elite universe ships which it would be great to see modernised - there's no need to go inventing new ones from scratch all the time.

I understand, but if they always bring the old ships into ED in exactly the same format as they were previously, we would be overwhelmed with small/cheap ships, and have only a scattering of medium-heavy ships. Some have to be changed to fit ED as a modern MMO.
 
Yes. And to avoid looking awful in the eyes of Emperor Arissa - pls a medium, longranged lovechild of Clipper and USS Reliant too. Meowmeowmeow.

Do you really want a space shuttle look alike in the game

we already do. its called the Adder (I still hope one day FD art guys are fiddling their thumbs once everything else is done (so wont be for a while ;) ), and they decide to in some of the older designs as a mark 1. I like my adder, but its not really an adder like the early concepts.

Well, yes - all of the old Elite ships that have made it into Dangerous have been changed that way. I don't think anybody has ever said the ships should be exactly the same as they used to be. The Adder, Asp, etc.. have all changed significantly but are all still clearly the same ships as they used to be.

ETA: There's nothing wrong with having loads of small/cheap ships, it offers choice. There are plenty medium/heavy ships in the older Elites too, anyway. Having loads of ships with similar specs really would help flesh out the galaxy and make it more convincing. Audi, BMW, Ford, etc, all make cars that are intended for the same "role" and customers are motivated by price, technology, differences and preference, that should be the case with ships too - there shouldn't be single ships per role per size. That is intensely dull.

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...

Looks like a Corvette humped a Vulture . . .
