I'm abstaining from voting. I am utterly disgusted that the V2 is not in there. Yes, I get it, it was introduced after the first Elite. But, by far, this was my favorite ship by a distance. I could fight like an angry demon, fly 27LY VERY fast, make all sorts of ridiculous deadlines, and honestly, there was no ship that I couldnt take down. I actually went looking for big fights (more enemies) in that ship. The bigger the better as far as I was concerned.

Viper Mk II. Always and Forever.

Not to mention that it was (IMHO) one of the two best looking ships in FFE (in my mind tied with the Imperial Courier).

Feel free to start a FE2/FFE ship resurrection thread/poll

I spent a lot of hours with FFE, but never loved it like the original because the over-done physics model made combat un-fun in comparison. Some of us had most of our game-playing hours in the 80's :)

I'd actually like to see the ORIGINAL Imperial Explorer. I thought that ship was the best one in the game and always worked to get the rank for it. I loved the way it looked so much like the Liberator from Blake's 7.

I'd like the beater Cobra. Extra points if I have to salvage and restore it.

Also +1 to OP for making a poll that is actually interesting, discussion-worthy, and un-self-serving. I think this is some kind of anomaly.

Yes, we must beat him with a stick until he screams "I demand they un-nerf something" :D

Can we get pics so those of us who didn't play the originals can also contribute?
I tried Googling Elite Shuttle and got Elite Shuttle of Kansas City .. I don't think that's it, unless Kansas City is a station in one of the older Elite games? :p

I maybe imagining it, but wasn't there a dreadnought or something like that in the original elite, huge ship that just cruised around, few KM long as well. This was on the C64.

Just googled, Space Dredgers 40mile long ships :eek:

Which classic Elite ship would you most like to see as a playable in Elite: Dangerous? I've missed the Fer de Lance from the poll, as that's already on its way.

Boa (a slightly smaller but more advanced Python)

Cobra mk i (earlier model than the mk iii; slightly smaller, slower, clumsier and cheaper)

Gecko (small, cheap single pilot fighter - popular with pirates. Quick and agile)

Krait (small, fast, agile. No hyperspace)

Mamba (originally designed for racing - as fast as a viper but even more agile, but limited arms and very limited cargo)

Moray Star Boat (multi-role, probably midway between the Cobra and the Asp in size and capabilities - but with the added ability to explore underwater on planets. Of course in original Elite the underwater capabilities were only fluff, and I can't see them being implemented in E: D even if the ship was)

Shuttle (non-hyperdrive vessel for flitting around within a system - including planetary landings on behalf of larger ships)

Viper mk i (similar to the mk iii in role but slower than the modern ship so presumably much cheaper - the classic police ship)

Im new, so I have no clue how these ships performed.

I voted for the Mamba so I can name mine "Mamba nº 5" when we get to name our ships ;)
