When will we start seeing NPC’s in all these new ships?

I’ve done some minimal searching and I haven’t come across any discussions about this. The Python mk II has been available for credits since last August; surely the most enterprising NPC’s should have been able to afford them by now, donchya think?

I know it’s too much to ask but what I’d really like to see is the game analyze successful player ship builds and let the high level NPC’s use them. THAT would go a long way to truly making this game more “Dangerous”

Saw one flying a Mandalay about an hour ago. Private group and nobody else in the group on at the time.

Saw 2 CM5s in a wing yesterday. They're probably around.

Thanks! I will keep an eye out for them. I must be flying in the wrong space…

Yep, I saw a Mandalay yesterday

NPCs should fly the New Ships

The NPCs should fly around with the new ships: Python MK II, Type-8 Transporter, the upcoming Mandalay and more. They should also use the paintjobs and ship kits to improve variety.

With some TLC a ships lasts decades, perhaps beyond a century. Consequently the vast majority of ships in service are somewhat old, very few are just-a-few-weeks brand-new.

Like when a distinctive new car comes out, it takes a long time before you see many
