She's a dedi Miner/Trader. 1 medium hardpoint and the rest are small. Core similar to the Type 7, but HUGE optionals for a Med. size ship. The design (to me) says that pitch and yaw will outpace roll, maybe an SLF bay, and the mandibles keep the cockpit away from asteroids.

All i see is a dedicated open miner with a size 7 MLC on a Medium Ship! Well done. Yellow by default? The Miners Corporation got some love here ❤ see you in the rings
I've been hoping for a large explorer from Lakon--something that will fulfill the potential that the Type 7 *almost* had for the role. Have to wait and see what the internals, jump range, etc. look like and if it works for that I'll get one, but I'll wait for the normal release and pay with in-game money. I paid for the early PII because I was just then building a titan attacker, and it was perfect for that.
@@Chris-tp1ls especially considering thats probably with a stock E-rated thruster. A-rated, engineered and with 4 pips should make it pretty quick considering it will be the largest medium ship in terms of capacity
I think I like the Type 8 a little better than the Python Mk II. Never been a super fan of the Python. I really like the smaller ships; DBX and Cobra Mk III. I would love to see a new small explorer. I would love to see a "luxury" explorer class ship from Saud Kruger, for the savvy explorers who want to wander the galaxy in style.
@@ratstar4102 The Mamba is the midlife crisis ship of the future so it can be extravagant. The Type-8 is a trucker ship so it should be about functionality. I would have liked a Type-7 fitting on a medium pad and with the rotating thrusters of the Keelback. At least let's hope she hauls more cargo than the Python.
I see 2 small hardpoints on both inner arms near the heat vents and a medium one middle rear behind the cargo hatch, nothing on top yet or else, I just hope is not full of small guns.
I do wonder just a bit why other ships matter that much in Elite since there are no interiors? There seems to be little difference between ships around the same size.
As someone with over 50 ships, I have to disagree! Each ship has their nuances and considerable differences in pitch roll yaw for example, power distributor effectiveness, speed, heat generation, internals, utility points etc etc. One extra internal, utility or hard point can make all kinds of niche builds possible 😊
@@RicardosGaming I saw that, need the core and flight specs too but looking good so far. With SCO like the MKII which I am loving this could be an awesome fast trader
Too bad you never see your own ship and the cockpit is ever bit of typical lakon crap so whatever stats it may have, it's not really going to be anything new for all intents and practical purposes for anyone. At least the pmk2 had a drastically improved interior that made you feel like you were flying something new
I do agree, but I am glad FDev did not go the safe route and give us a T7 with a face lift. I appreciate the effort they put into this, so I will get it early when they offer it. You know they will.
It looks terrible in game. The reason the render looked good was more advanced shading, wear and tear and the black outlining around all the less saturated yellow tones of the ship. This just looks ugly in game and can we talk about that lego looking middle backend? To blocky and to large of a single face in my opinion.
@@RicardosGaming Agreed and hopefully they address this and update the paint job and add a bit more detail. =) It needs to look a lot better than this.
I am looking forward to this. I will be getting this ship!
it looks fab!
@tiberiusdave252 As a trader primarily I will also be looking forward to flying this beauty very excited about it.
what i'd really like is a proper HUD colour editor in game.

it does LOL

They said comes out August. Did not specify if it can be Arx bought earlier but at least I would.
me too!

I like the way the engine modules shift and move like the Constellation class of ships from Star Citizen, nice steal FDev!!
Beautiful I like it...!!!
Although to be honest a little bit of variation in the cockpit would be great.
New ships are cool but I was reeeeeally hoping to get some info on the new core feature coming this year, oh well I guess
@@Balenciagabater well August for this , September for pp2
I like the landing gear retracts like claws, that looks cooler than the engines to me.
It is a nice feature
I am excited that we are get a new ship type. Long time coming!
Me too, this is like nothing in game
Bought the Python, still trying to fit it in with my fleet. What is its load?
152 with 2 pips to engines seems pretty quick to me for its design. May be pretty fast with engineering and full pips.
@@Chris-tp1ls especially considering thats probably with a stock E-rated thruster. A-rated, engineered and with 4 pips should make it pretty quick considering it will be the largest medium ship in terms of capacity
Anybody heard if this will be an early access ship, or a wait till August ship?.
Maby both based on how the python mkII launched
August he said, may be early access
I was starting to think this game would never see a new ship.
Take my money !
I know, right....

Still not a fan of the prongs, but they give the ship a _superman in flight_ look.

True words mate, though a new feature is com8ng, this may be base building though some are hoping for interiors
@@RicardosGaming I hope so! I'd love to see and experience the ship interiors of my ships!

Visuals are good to be sure but how do the internals stand up, tbph I don't care too much if it looks like shit as long as it goes like shit too

Maybe 400 tons as a paper ship, but what in a real, properly functional ship?
@@ruthless4645400 tons to play with? Plenty you can do.

Everyone's going to buy it. Moaning is fun.

Yep, Lakon.

resting temp is only 27 i could be wrong but on most ships its like 37
correct - an quite quick with 2 pips to engines too
Very disappointed in the harpoints but the internal slots are good, core internals not so good.
It’s like a small ship that’s too big for a small pad.

To me I looked just like the regular python interior
vulture at home
Just me but regardless the game I am playing I am not a fan of anything that obstructs my field of view out of the cockpit
This why I seldom use the front shipkits
First!
congrats!
i still say it does not really fit into the Elite Universe. It just looks like it was made for a different Franchsie
@@cmdr501generalvenator3 change is good , no?
@@RicardosGaming not in this case
To each their own I like it and will definitely get it pretty sure you can pump cargo up to 460 or so so it'll Def replace my t9 heavy
