It's the BMW way. Make a BMW 3, reduce weight, 2 doors and add more speed, call it BMW 4. Raise price 20%.

(Edit: Type 8 Explorer please)

Which reminds me that i almost succumbed in the last december to a series 2 BMW... they had some really nice price cuts due introduction of the new wltp in 2020 :)
Glad i resisted - i didn't really needed a new car :D


Back on track - Type-8 Explorer? The Queen* disproves that

I like the idea of a T-8! This should be the ship right in the middle between the Keelback and the Defender. Another Trader ship designed for Trade and light combat, that hits a medium pad. Give it SLF capability and some decent weapon slots.

Another possibility is to make it a Mining-centric ship The game has no ships that are specifically built with mining in mind. It could be the first.
I know that any ship can be a mining ship, just like every ship can be a passenger ship. Yet we have ships designed just for passengers. Why not a Mining ship that has slots purposed for mining?

Asking for a type 8 is like asking for Nvidia to release the GT/GTX 800 series. Interestingly, Nvidia also did a similar thing since they went from the 700 series straight to 900, skipping the 800.

The more I think about it, the more I end up at a similar conclusion of a new trader: Medium pad, same price as Python, more cargo than a Python, but worse in pretty much every other aspect, bar maybe jump range.

The price jumps between cards is also very similar to the costs of Lakon transporters.

Neh.. How about we go for a type-11 with 1000t cargo capacity?

Try fitting that thing through the mail slot :)

T-911, sporty! No problemo in the twisties.

Back to reality (a contradiction in terms, as we are talking about a game), do we need any more variants for shootin', scannin', scoopin' or carryin'? What we need is content, more than just watching your CR balance go up.

Isn't that what Odyssey is or will be for? It may not be the content you are looking for but it's new content just the same....

Thanks for helping make my point, if FD has to allocate resources, maybe new ship-related stuff isn't a priority and the game is better served through development of different content, for certain Odyssey.

As to what I'm looking for, it's irrelevant as FD will do what it does.

Proposal: A huge ship like the Panther Clipper, but with the twist that a multicrew wing is required to fly it. Everyone gets different control elements assigned randomly (e. g. player one: vertical thrusters, cargo hatch, primary fire group, low wake, heatsinks, comms), and it plays like a mix between Bridge Crew and QWOP.

That sounds like fun, FD doesn’t like fun
