What happened to the Imperial Courier?

That's why you put them behind giant time sink walls. Make it require the rank of king and cost 800 million credits. I don't understand this fear of having a ship be incredibly powerful. I don't understand why there can't be "the" ship to rule them all for a particular aspect. The Cutter is the trader to rule them all at the moment. So why not have that for combat ships?
What's wrong with having End-game uber ships? Seems like too many people are caught up worrying about how to properly balance things that really don't need to be balanced. So the Imperials get some amazing OP super ship, big deal. Copy the stats, change the hull to something that resembles an oversized vulture and name it the "Federal Cookie Cutter". I call that balance. /s
Certain ships should be OP as hell when compared to other ships. The FDL should be able to cut up a python because the python is a multirole. That makes sense to me. I wouldn't have seen anything wrong with the Courier being an apex predator if it was placed behind an appropriately ridiculous time sink. You reading this Braben?(probably not)
Exactly! rep +1

But but if you make super powerful ships we won't be able to kill them in Eagles!!!That's why you put them behind giant time sink walls. Make it require the rank of king and cost 800 million credits.

the combat balance in this game makes me sad, people want to be able to kill large ships in a single small ship.
doesnt work that way sorry.
a type 6 will never be able to outperform a type 9 in trading no matter how much skill the pilot has. But for some reason that's expected to be the case for combat ships..
you want to hunt big game? You're going to need a big gun or friends to help you try.

Agree completely, Although I played the first elite the courier from Elite II was the only ship I really wanted back. What we have now are not 1/2 the ship the old courier was. Such a shame when you look back at some of the possible fan made designs, some of them were truly epic! Guess we can only hope they listen and add in a classic Courier..
