Will there be Ship Variants like the 1984 game

Probably not. There will be customization, however, so you can take a basic Cobra and add better shield generators, engines and so on. Probably within reason, and power/heat budget :).

Paintjobs and different role specific modules will allow ships customization to perform more efficiently in specific roles.

Sounds like an Easter Egg waiting to be found, somewhere in deep space...

I was wondering if the Cobra Mk I was going to make an appearance. Perhaps a reasonable amount of space like the Hauler and a couple of hard points but with a poor power plant so not so capable.

It didn't even get that far, the design was abandoned due to a "fault in the hull" or words to that effect. Anyone with the original manual to hand should be able to find the exact phrasing (sadly not me).

there will be explorer variants of some ships, only the cobra explorer is confirmed yet, they have longer range fuel tanks built into the hull which cant be added to the standard cobra later one.

There might be others variants, and we don't know if they will look different from the outside or not.

Well I think there will be some external variation, won't there?
I remember the Kickstarter pics for all the different engine/thruster types on the Anaconda ....or was that only artist drafts of the final version, rather than examples of what we coudl do?

Finally a positive thread :).

There might be an Imperial version of the Eagle, last I heard it was going to be investigated.

Other than that, not sure, but as previously mentioned we will be able to make customizations to each hull, not just weaponry, but different engines etc.

Perhaps we'll have an option to equip lower emission engines?

We already have multi-cannons which don't emit heat and therefore are good to keep a low profile with.

Let us just call the Imp version the "Owl Fighter", blue and white feather paint scheme of course, that should sort 'em out. ;)

It was. Something about the hull material and design failing catastrophically under stress. The entire design was scrapped and the ship was never released to the public. The company went on to design Cobra Mk III instead.
