I always liked the Krait for its aggressive shape.
The Wolf MkII as it appears in Oolite is very cool too:

I also like this one very much: Werewolf

just looked at that but found this more interesting

http://wiki.maikschulz.de/index.php/Vampire_-_Diamondback

is this the new ship 'The Diamondback' that was listed among the new ships on the sound files that were floating around this forum recently?
 
Can't vote b/c I'm a noob to the series.

I agree though that It'd be nice to have more smaller ships. Especially a more civilian/scientific kind would be welcome by me.
I'd love to go exploring in a Hauler sized ship with a Scoop, Auto-Repair, Shield, Scanner and Surface Scanner. Decent jump range but no hard points.
 
Since the Hauler fits quite nicely into the role the Adder used to fill, I'm voting Krait. I see it being an intermediate between the Sidewinder and the Cobra or Viper. Plus, now that missiles have been overhauled, maybe NPC Kraits will finally be the missile boats they were always described as being.

It was a tough call between Krait and Mamba though!
 
For me it's a no-brainier that ALL the ships from the original BBC micro game should be updated and included in this one. I think a high percentage of players will be buying this game as they have missed it so much for the last 30 years. Every original ship should be included, krait, viper police ships, fer-de-lance and the like.
Come on David, we want a game that is an updated version of the original!!with none of the original left out. It was perfect for the time and with improved graphics, more planets it's a sure winner.

adder is already in. Unless there is a different one. I don't remember it from the original. But would like to see the one that re-fuels the new players running out of fuel brought back lol.
 
Not sure what ship it would be but something between the adder and a Type 6 for trading, its a bit of a jump from one to the other. I know the MkIII will fill that role but something more 'tradey' would be cool.
 
Hey, what about that TRI ship that's on the ontro to Elite Frontier. a cool all rounder ship upgrade from the Cobra. If memory serves me right, it was obtainable from a military base. oooohhhhh.

I guess you mean the imperial courier? I think the closest thing to that in the game is the clipper, though I think the courier should be a smaller ship, perhaps similar to the asp.

If you mean first encounters, the Argent's Quest was the ship in the opening credits along with an imperial explorer. I'd love to see both of those return.

As for small ships - I'd like to see some ships from AAAI - The saker mk3 springs to mind. It sucked as a starter ship but then so did the eagle in FE2
 
Mamba will probably come with planet landings as it's a multi atmosphere ship.

I don't think we get the krait for a while. It goes against DB's 'vision', ie, it is purely a combat craft and FD wants people to have less PVP focus and more Multi Role purpose. Saying that, when wings come in, a Krait would make a nice Trader Guard.
