- most anticipated ships
Thats what the Saud Kruger ships are for sillyMoray Starboat, for when we get to land on waterworlds and use the Starboat - it's a combined starship/submarine.
They arent named after aquatic animals for no reason yknow
This topic's come up a few times in my Elite career and I always vote for the Asp MkII.
Do we need another medium combat ship? No. Do we need another variant of an existing space-frame? No.
I just want it because to me it's a legendary ship that's been mentioned in the lore for a long while and I'm really curious to see what an ED version of it would be like.
I love the Asp X, it's one of my favourites in the game, but I've always looked at it and thought "You don't look like an explorer (despite that gorgeous canopy), you look like a gunship. I mean, come on the thing has 6 hard points! On an explorer!
It looks as tough as old boots too, and the size of those retro-thrusters! They look like they should stop on a penny - although my experience of the Asp X's deceleration ability suggests they were severely downgraded in the explorer variant!
It's just my curiosity, we don't really need it, but while we're wishing I'd love to have it in game.

Maybe! I haven't seen anything in their description that explicitly states they work underwater as well as above water and in space, though.Thats what the Saud Kruger ships are for silly

I think we're forgetting the potential greatest Elite ship of all time.
The Lifter.
The Lifter.
If they use the Panther Clipper LX design concept, I always thought it could potentially have the ability to lift containers considering the width of its footprint.I think we're forgetting the potential greatest Elite ship of all time.

I get what you are saying, but for those of us who don't feel any of the ships are pointless and enjoy flying them regardless of their efficiency at a given task in relation to other ships, more ships would be awesome.

Don't need more ships. Need more interesting game play, a capable mission system and actual game lore which hasn't developed by accident!
It's quite sad to look back and see that the original games, in many ways, had much more depth than the current one.
With Elite Dangerous, the flight model (+driving mechanics) and the galaxy are superb, but Frontier has gone off on tangents several times, spending huge amounts of time on unneeded features at the expense of the core game.

As a matter of fact I own and use a lot of ships that are very low on the Inara popularity list. Likewise there are a few highly popular ones I just don't have a role for, so I don't own them. Only the poor Asp Scout has no saving whatsoever.
None of us need new ships, but that is the thread topic
One person's unneeded features is another's enjoyment...
As the only 'ship' we know to be coming, sooner or later, is the Fleet Carrier, I'll anticipate that one
Galasphere 347 (from Space Patrol).
Whether PFC are delayed or not.
