Well, We've had a Combat ship - Python 2 ? , and a Trader - Type 8 so that leaves what ?
Explorer , Mining or Passenger speciality options. - I think we currently have enough Passenger options so my bet will be some kind of Explorer - or Mining Vessel.
All an Explorer needs is the ability to carry survey equipment and have long FSD range, so is that something they would need to bring in a new ship variant for ?
Maybe only for intergrating the SCO FSD Drives into a stable chassis.
So - Miner ? What do you all think ?

Just lost a 30th of my budget on a rebuy because I'm dumb and while it doesn't really MATTER I feel incensed at myself. Got greedy

Type 8 could do mining well too.

Hier mal ein Link auf Youtube. Dort wird von Commander Buur spekuliert, dass es sich eventuell um ein Explorer Schiff von dem Hersteller Gutamaya handeln könnte.

Looks like FD's new ships ARX machine would become of perpetuum mobile.

That 'paid early access' feature would've been even not bad if not for the power creep.

I can tell you... It's exactly the same thing but in different location.
But nothing stops you if you want, of course.

SakashiroDid I hear this right? Engineering now has a predictable linear progression? One roll for the first grade, two rolls for the second, five rolls for the fifth?

It used to be 1, 2, 3, 4, 9. And sometimes 10. Or 11.

And a single HGE now has 40+ scoopable units?



Yep.



Mmmmm.....well, so far, I have run across two situations where the linear progression did NOT happen. The latest version was when my alt was engineering Long Range on my beam weapon. Level 3 took 5 rolls, so did level 4. Level 5 took seven. So, clearly there is a bug in there somewhere.

Linear progression only happens if you have maxed out your rank with the Engineer to Grade 5 already. If you are below Grade 5, you will need more rolls to get the full engineering. Of course, you might already have been at Rank 5, I wouldn't be surprised if there are bugs.

EpisparhOne of the most requested ships is Imperial Explorer. So this is most likely it. A Clipper size ship that fits on medium pad.

But they can't call it Imperial Explorer. The name has to start with a C.

Courier
Clipper
Cutter
Cruiser
