Per the avg height of a kneeling human welder, the thrusters aren't as large as you may think. The whole of that rear portion appears to only be 15m tall from base to top thruster. This coincides with a small pad. However, pad 07 on a carrier is a large while in a starport its a medium. The under belly also appears very Viper mk3ish to me. My bet is the last two ships will be a large hauler ala Panther Clipper and a super-light long range jump ship in the ballpark of 95-100LY.
@Mittzys I figured that to be the case after I measured the ship. Also, it appears that the rank insignia on the left of the door is the exploration rank of Scout.
@@Powerhauz I believe that insignia is just the Odyssey logo. Scout may share the same icon, but I think that the insignia was placed there more as a marketing thing than an in world thing.

From the engine design, it is definetly a Gutamaya ship. Almost identical to the Cutter. Zorgon ships has a very different engine design. Saud Kruger and Core Dynamics ships also heavily differ. We already has Falcon and Lacon new ship. We also get a new combat and hauler (or miner) ship. Next should be an explorer, which strengten by the fact that pilot has an Artmeis suit. So we get a new Gutamaya explorer. For the size I am uncertain though. If medium, then it would be the first medium Gutamaya ship in game, but we already get 2 medium new ship so far.
it is not pretty enough to be gutamaya. it looks as ugly as any core dynamics vessel ever. heck, it looks like fas with side nacelles added. i hope it will be a battle boat, something good for incursion. you know, long jump range, sco and huge alpha firepower. the fist that jumps in breaks the defenses and retreat/regroup once the support comes that holds the gap open. i am preparing to meet feds in yuriverse if i am right. ready for some glorious battles with pp2.0.
@@Neo-vz8nh that is a lousy argument. saud kruger has both rectangular and round exhausts. lakon has both rectangular and round. it also has some weird rectangular with rounded points on the asp. heck, i don't even know how to call keelbacks exhausts. delacy has everything from the morse code of phantom to venetian blinds of the anaconda. now, the core dynamics. vulture has, in essence, the fattest + sign ever for exhausts. look at them, they are strange even by delacy standards. but the fas and gunship? they are round. i know fas, i have been hunting them as long as they are in game (being a gromite, fas and gunship are kind of my bread and butter victims). just look at it from behind and imagine two more exhausts on a wider addition, just left and right. something akin to keelback and type 6. former is just the latter with added exhausts to the side. if you look very carefully to the ship design beyond exhausts, there are no curves. those to the side are not nacelles, like on the cutter. they are not on some struts or wings to be nacelles. they are part of the ship. it has a flat bottom. not rounded like the cutter. flat and angular like the fas. it has panels protruding, angles everywhere you can look at and it has one of the ugliest behind in the game. that is a core dynamics ship if i ever saw one. of course, both of us can be totally wrong but it just doesn't look like the cutter at all.
@@sakatababa Fas and gunship has blocky thrusters too, just has round elements. Others also says it is similar to Cutter. But also this is just a concept art, not gameplay.
4:58 I'm one of the top 10% contributors and I can tell you it's very clear why CMDRs aren't contributing - encoded materials are still just as difficult and annoying to gather and garner nothing for turning them in. At best, we can get additional data from Jameson's crashed Cobra but a severe amount of downtrading and cross trading is required that makes it not worth it. I burned through all my G4/G5 encoded materials already and while that got me into the top 10%, we would need to put in 8 hour days for the entire week to really make much of a difference. Perhaps if encoded materials had been boosted like others, this would be a different outcome. I WANTED to help Utopia, but there's just no realistically practical way to help with the encoded materials.
I’d love to see a ship larger than large ships, but smaller than fleet carriers. I’d be cool to have a ship that can haul 2-3 small ships or 1-2 medium ships. Have it be a long range jumper that is slow in space, but still maneuverable. Having it larger than larger ships means you can only transfer goods via the smaller ships it can carry. Imagine flying a mini-mega-ship. Not that I don’t like fleet carriers, but the inability to pilot the carrier and the limited use by tritium fuel
Maybe you could add a single docking bay on fleet carriers for such super-ships that would allow you to use the fleet carrier as a shipyard to upgrade and modify it, and easily change which ships are in it's launch bay. Won't happen, but would be cool.
@@lucaspec7284 exactly. Something like that, or even have a spot for Orbis type ports where they can dock… that way a FC isn’t needed. Though I think having a FC launch a little battleship that can launch other ships would be awesome. Either have some port or have it where construction crew come out and modify it, but it’s not something that is instantaneously. Have it where it takes time, and you can higher cheap crew and the integrity is lacking or pay extreme amounts and have it’s be top tier. I just love the idea of the whole idea. I played a DND elite dangerous campaign with friends and they had something similar to having those megaships. And the campaign was written in like 3301… back when thargoids were as mystic as Raxxla
@@congruentcrib Man, a DnD campaign in the Elite universe sounds so nice... if only i had people to play that with, and any experience with DnD. I think the limiting factor for ships is existing infrastructure. Frontier won't bother adding anything that wouldn't fit in the mail slot because that would mean it wouldn't be able to land anywhere without support from another ship, making it useless for anything but maybe exploration and niche stuff. They probably don't want (or don't have the ability) to restructure the required parts of the game to handle storing ships in another ship, too. Personally, in terms of what could realistically be acheived, i think it would be neat to reduce the minimum delay between carrier jumps, add a jump planner to them, and maybe a automatic plotter. This alone would make them more usable, and also help with the booze cruise, who had to wait about 45mins at peak activity for ONE jump, and even then it's assuming the system you want to jump to isn't full. Another thing i think could be studied could be optional internal generators. We've got shield boosters, FSD boosters, hull reinforcements, and yet no way to add more power to ships. It's not much, and i persnoally wouldn't get too much use out of them due to not really doing that much combat, but i could see them being useful to some people.
About the leaked picture, I'm guessing it's a Guyamaya ship. In one of the previous games, Elite First Encounters, there was an Imperial ship called the Imperial Explorer, it was the largest of the Imperial ships and was good for cargo and exploring as it has a long range. It's about time the Empire fielded another ship.
That concept image of the ship thrusters...... I'm not convinced it is an asymmetrical design. To me it appears to be a cluster of 4 center thrusters with a thruster nacelle off to the side, and most likely to be another one on the opposite side we can't see behind the doors. After looking at the Imperial Cutter's thruster layout, it looks very similar to me. Also it appears that to the lower left of the bottom thruster, obscured by the fog, you can make out a landing strut positioned in approximately the same position as the rear landing gear of the Cutter. You mentioned that hangar 7 is typically a medium sized hangar..... I can't help but wonder if this is a concept of a ship model that is based on the frame of the Cutter only shrunk down to a medium sized ship and reskinned to not look so Imperial in design. Would be cool if I'm wrong though.
it looks like a core dynamic design over gutamaya cutter has clear aesthetic that is formative, we would see some curve to it this is a function-over-form design, angular, orthogonal, militaristic it looks more like a large fas then a cutter while i would prefer gutamaya over core design, looks like i am out of luck
@@sakatababa not sure we are on the same page here. We agree that it does not have the Gutamaya appearance. What I meant is that with where the engines and landing gear are, it looks like devs might have taken the core model of the Cutter, shrunk it down and reskinned it to look like it's something from Core Dynamics or Lakon. Basically recycling a greybox model of one ship to try and easily make another. But that's just my speculation.
@@Light-hawk i don't think so. look at dropship blueprint, then just imagine two extra nacelles to the side it looks exactly like that approximate 20m height (based of the dude in thruster) checks out for a long range fas incursor that would entail long range and high firepower with sco for a "come out of nowhere, hit with heavy firepower to open the way for sturdy ships behind you, run for your life" tactics it looks to me they are preparing some pp2.0 ship with this one as a gromite from almost day one, i fear the feds may start with invasions in yuriverse soon
type 8 is not a hauler it is good at mining and exploration python mk2 is clearly made for us vulture lovers, human head hunters, the interceptor i would love this to be a small large pad battle boat but unfortunately the design screams "core dynamics" so i am not looking forward to a larger fas with incursion capability (range)
Thankyou for explaining the contribution thing - ie shoot a scout in each system. I've not had time to research it and assumed it meant finding missions or something - and as I'm away from my regular PC and hotas...all too hard. so thanks, maybe I'll give it whirl tonight with a mouse setup...shooting a scout should be doable...hopefully :)
I am hoping for a medium Gutamaya multi-role-ship. Name it the Cavalier to stick with the Cs. Give it 5 hardpoints (4 medium, 1 small) and 5 utility slots,, SLF and 1-2 crew. Make it a competitor with SCO to the Krait Mk II (similar compartments, maybe slightly less so). And the forth ship be the "big ass" by Zorgon Peterson, which all crave for.
no way gutamaya makes anything this ugly it is likely a core dynamics battlecrap incursor (movement range with firepower), a large fas with extra jump after the sweet design of the 8, we get this
I wouldn't disqualify the ship as an exploration one based on its size. After all, fleet carriers are huge. Actually, if it is the ship I hope it will be, it'll be THE big jumper I was waiting for. Not impacted by size 7 universal limpet controller mass.
it is not launchpad 7, it is internal bay Oseven. None of standard launchpads have direct access from a access gate, only a heavy lift railings on a level below,
Depends what kind of exploration. If landing on a surface (especially with exobiology), large ships are harder to find landing sites for. Also a large ship with a set back cockpit, such as the anaconda, makes it hard to view the planet surface while flying. Tilt down enough to see what is below and the nose of the ship is scraping the ground.
orthogonal shape of the ship appears similar to core dynamics vessels, like fas i am unconvinced that gutamaya designed this, it just isn't pretty enough heck, i would even accept that zorgon designed it over gutamaya
Honestly if we get 3/4 of the new ships by the end of the year that'll still be twenty times less broken promises than Star Citizen, so I'll be a very happy CMDR.
Yeah, but you're a PvP guy. Mechan, despite all the memes (2m2s Krait anyone) has literally clapped a Hydra in an Eagle. Seems like a difference in specialty, is all. So, on one hand I wanna hear his reasoning for the cleans (is that thermal load really such a great deal? Is he just considering your average 2024 AX Peelot?) but on the flip, truth is my Titan Krait is running Dirty and it works. Overall with the shit I've seen Mechan do, I still have pretty high faith in his builds. Even despite that one Mamba.
@@SewerynPas I would certainly, absolutely, not go that far. My Krait would lose a good 40m/s with Cleans instead of Dirty, and that puts me into having to ride the Basi lightning phase. The size of NOPE that is to me is way out there past Betelgeuse. However, threat analysis inside the Titan's bastion will likely bring up Clopses for the most part, with Scythes if there's anything to pick up (550m/s) and Glaives (750m/s) if you go hard and hot. You will still outrun a Clops if need be, and you're not outrunning Scythes or Glaives in just about any build you might bring into the Maelstrom. I'm curious though, what the reasoning behind Cleans on a 'Strom build might be.
FDev made the limits of the encoded mats CG way way way too high. It's not easy milk run cargo hauls, mats farming takes time and you're forced to go back and forth from mats traders. What were they thinking?
Can't see any landing gear so it's anyone's guess. It would be nice for the next one to be a long-range explorer with a very large window, top and bottom, and its own plant scanner. Plus, it has to land on rugged terrain! That's my Christmas wish 😊
Ya that community goal was a miss... I'm not trading in data when it can't be as easily refill as manufactured now... if they had gone with physical mats insteeeeeeeead... ya. That might have been interesting.
dont think its gutamaya. i think its something else since gutamaya ships stick to smooth curves whereas this has some sharp lines (other than the ends of the thrusters)
Why dont they just increase size of the stations and entrance, since station exterior and slot seem way too undersized , then add a larger landing pad. Im not programer so i wouldnt know how hard that would be to do.
We already have too many ships, most of them being rarely or never seeen in-game (apart from NPCs) because CMDRs only fly the best-in-class ships. What we need is a new concept, a ship that really adds something and will be used.
I think the ship only looks asymmetrical in the artists impression. Seriously hope it's a long range SCO stabilized exploration ship. Utopia CG is just suspicious. Could have something to do with Salvation or Guardians, and I say fuck both of em.
type 8 is miner/explorer rather then hauler this looks like someone scaled fas and added jump range to it and that makes me angry because i don't need another core dynamics ugly can trashing the space
@@sakatababa Type 8 has nothing to do with exploration... The jump range is mid, worse than current medium explorers, and you can't even get your SRV out from under the ship.
@@voidseekersarchive srv has some issues but they will fix that. it has nothing to do with purpose. type 8 is a decent exp ship. dbx level of decent. it is more resilient for deep black and it is literally the only vessel we have except a 'conda that can do miner/explorer role without making it tedious.
@@sakatababa I think you mistake "ship that can be some sort of explorer but sucks at it" with "dedicated exploration ship with a SCO stabilization that can make it to a planet 600,000ls away without eating up your entire fuel tank immediately". I'm talking a dedicated exploration ship. From the 4-5 professions in the game, it wouldn't hurt to have each of the new ship variants serve one of them.
@@voidseekersarchive but it doesn't suck as explorer it is clear you want to project your fantasy over the factual state of reality and there is no point in discussing this further with you since my comment with hard data has been deleted several times. lets try with editing this post. "my main role is explorer. "has 15ly jump range less than other medium ships" - this is the most untrue statement ever, regarding this topic. facts: 5c fsd in all, everything else is stock, unladen jump + range asp explorer - 18.76 + 191.51 krait phantom - 13.28 + 134.15 diamondback explorer (only small explorer viable) - 22.34 + 229.71 python mk2 - 18.41 + 64.34 type 8 - 23.42 + 161.04 now stop spreading crap and conform to reality already. data is there for us to see easily. if you want to talk modified ships, then the skew goes farther in the favor of type 8. aspx and phantom don't have that class 7 and type 8 has more class 6 optionals. fuel tank is the same on all (class 5) except for python mk2 (class 4). all other medium ships don't come even close to ones pointed with jump or range. by it's very design, type 8 is clearly an explorer/miner, made to get valuable items and rush back to the bubble, to safety. i would suspect retrieving of ax materials was the main objective when they made it but by giving it many small hardpoints and large optional internals they made it viable for mining in the black, too. facts are facts. if you don't like that type 8 is not a freighter but an explorer, go argue with f-dev. i didn't made the ship. i just love it. it fits my role almost perfectly. i can finally go scout and mine at the same time, not making a double trip in dbx/krait or pestering a friend to come with me on a boring (for him) exploration."
It’s about 10-15 minutes (round trip) for 150-200 g3 mats for the event via cross trading from Jameson crash, so I gave around 400 G3’s to hopefully secure myself in top 50%. Was way easier to do than the 3000 or so tons of cargo runs from ever increasingly far away mostly medium purchase locations to get to 50%, and hope that the number doesn’t increase over 3000 tons… So I’ve been liking how few people have cared to touch the encoded mats one leading to a lower barrier for 50%

Why would a large ship be unsuitable for exploration? That is utter nonsense. Two of the best explorers are the Anaconda, and the Cutter.
Depends on where you take it, for the guardian sites small or medium is better because of the terrain
Depends what kind of exploration. If landing on a surface (especially with exobiology), large ships are harder to find landing sites for. Also a large ship with a set back cockpit, such as the anaconda, makes it hard to view the planet surface while flying. Tilt down enough to see what is below and the nose of the ship is scraping the ground.
@@grippygecko6843 That is true.
After type 8, there is little chance that it will be a cargo ship... I still hope for a new explorer :)
i hope for some new battleboat, we are running out of those
type 8 is surprisingly effective as a miner/explorer, not a trader
@@sakatababa Elite don't lack battleships imo :) but I must admit I am a peacefull commander lol
Imperial Explorer? they're saying Gutamaya, that can be the explorer right? (The one from the table top)
no way this is gutamaya
their ships are pretty
this is core dynamics level of ugly
like a large fas or something like that
0:28 Hey that picture looks familiar.
yay!
orthogonal shape of the ship appears similar to core dynamics vessels, like fas
i am unconvinced that gutamaya designed this, it just isn't pretty enough
heck, i would even accept that zorgon designed it over gutamaya
guess i was right, not a gutamaya but a zorgon...
Honestly if we get 3/4 of the new ships by the end of the year that'll still be twenty times less broken promises than Star Citizen, so I'll be a very happy CMDR.
Another thought might be people are busy upgrading there brand spanking new Mk 2 Pythons and need the materials for other stuff
Remember, Commanders. I didn't make a whole meta engineering guide for y'all to go and put CLEAN DRIVES on your Python 2s.
Yeah, but you're a PvP guy. Mechan, despite all the memes (2m2s Krait anyone) has literally clapped a Hydra in an Eagle.
Seems like a difference in specialty, is all. So, on one hand I wanna hear his reasoning for the cleans (is that thermal load really such a great deal? Is he just considering your average 2024 AX Peelot?) but on the flip, truth is my Titan Krait is running Dirty and it works. Overall with the shit I've seen Mechan do, I still have pretty high faith in his builds. Even despite that one Mamba.
Clean drives are profit
@@SewerynPas I would certainly, absolutely, not go that far. My Krait would lose a good 40m/s with Cleans instead of Dirty, and that puts me into having to ride the Basi lightning phase.
The size of NOPE that is to me is way out there past Betelgeuse.
However, threat analysis inside the Titan's bastion will likely bring up Clopses for the most part, with Scythes if there's anything to pick up (550m/s) and Glaives (750m/s) if you go hard and hot. You will still outrun a Clops if need be, and you're not outrunning Scythes or Glaives in just about any build you might bring into the Maelstrom.
I'm curious though, what the reasoning behind Cleans on a 'Strom build might be.
Please 🙏🙏🙏 be a large ship dedicated to exploration.
FDev made the limits of the encoded mats CG way way way too high. It's not easy milk run cargo hauls, mats farming takes time and you're forced to go back and forth from mats traders. What were they thinking?
Can't see any landing gear so it's anyone's guess. It would be nice for the next one to be a long-range explorer with a very large window, top and bottom, and its own plant scanner. Plus, it has to land on rugged terrain! That's my Christmas wish 😊
I want it to be the Panther Clipper so badly
Will take every meter of L-pad and docking is possible to fit into mailslot with autodocker only (core equipment)
agreed that encoded materials and raw materials are still a pain in the butt but manufactured mats are piss easy
Ya that community goal was a miss... I'm not trading in data when it can't be as easily refill as manufactured now... if they had gone with physical mats insteeeeeeeead... ya. That might have been interesting.
Will we find Raxxla, the Guardian's home world, and take the fight to the Thar's?
That a CG looks to fail during the summer holiday season is no surprise.
For me personally, it has been simply to hot to consider gaming.
What else is there to do inside with the ac running?
As far as the pic....its not the ship that is important. Its the base and hanger....base building incoming.
Oh plase be an Imperial medium, it's a gaping hole in the line
Also is it me or does that "new Ship" look like the back end of the Ghost from Star Wars
Python mk 3, let's goooo
😂
The thrusters don't look much larger than some of those we have in game.
Definitely is a Glutamayo ship
Hanger 7 is a large pad, on carriers.
Ah, Medium Imp Eagle mk III EX (or AX)
how many thrusters it has:
Gutemaya: YES!!!
not likely
gutamaya has style
this is fas level of ugly
it just screams "core dynamic was here"
you sound like deckard cain, i love you (the one at the beggining of the video)
dont think its gutamaya. i think its something else since gutamaya ships stick to smooth curves whereas this has some sharp lines (other than the ends of the thrusters)
great job guys o7
Man, im happy to leave Tanner Settlement and never return. Although i made a very good profit of hauling stuff to the station.
Replicate the picture with players and each size ship to get a better idea of the size.
756,352/50,000,000
yeah, small amounts...
Would be funny if this ship would be mobile base of new personal stations construction :) ... one can still dream, right?
Why dont they just increase size of the stations and entrance, since station exterior and slot seem way too undersized , then add a larger landing pad. Im not programer so i wouldnt know how hard that would be to do.
lol thats not gonna happen. zero reason for them to change that or add a Larger large landing pad.
@@DubStepTomatoFarmer one can only hope, but I get it.
Clipper Mk2, Medium size pad
Cutter mk2?
used to be revenants you had to shoot for core chips (not banshees) - has this changed?
its still revenants.
STICKERZ
Addd mech combat dropped from orbit !!!! And pod racing!!
We already have too many ships, most of them being rarely or never seeen in-game (apart from NPCs) because CMDRs only fly the best-in-class ships. What we need is a new concept, a ship that really adds something and will be used.
Encoded mats are still hard to come by if they want manufactured mats I can pick up hundreds in a few minutes grade 5 mind you
I think the ship only looks asymmetrical in the artists impression. Seriously hope it's a long range SCO stabilized exploration ship.
Utopia CG is just suspicious. Could have something to do with Salvation or Guardians, and I say fuck both of em.
type 8 is miner/explorer rather then hauler
this looks like someone scaled fas and added jump range to it
and that makes me angry because i don't need another core dynamics ugly can trashing the space
@@sakatababa Type 8 has nothing to do with exploration... The jump range is mid, worse than current medium explorers, and you can't even get your SRV out from under the ship.
@@voidseekersarchive srv has some issues but they will fix that. it has nothing to do with purpose.
type 8 is a decent exp ship. dbx level of decent. it is more resilient for deep black and it is literally the only vessel we have except a 'conda that can do miner/explorer role without making it tedious.
@@sakatababa I think you mistake "ship that can be some sort of explorer but sucks at it" with "dedicated exploration ship with a SCO stabilization that can make it to a planet 600,000ls away without eating up your entire fuel tank immediately". I'm talking a dedicated exploration ship. From the 4-5 professions in the game, it wouldn't hurt to have each of the new ship variants serve one of them.
@@voidseekersarchive but it doesn't suck as explorer
it is clear you want to project your fantasy over the factual state of reality and there is no point in discussing this further with you
since my comment with hard data has been deleted several times. lets try with editing this post.
"my main role is explorer.
"has 15ly jump range less than other medium ships" - this is the most untrue statement ever, regarding this topic.
facts:
5c fsd in all, everything else is stock, unladen jump + range
asp explorer - 18.76 + 191.51
krait phantom - 13.28 + 134.15
diamondback explorer (only small explorer viable) - 22.34 + 229.71
python mk2 - 18.41 + 64.34
type 8 - 23.42 + 161.04
now stop spreading crap and conform to reality already. data is there for us to see easily.
if you want to talk modified ships, then the skew goes farther in the favor of type 8. aspx and phantom don't have that class 7 and type 8 has more class 6 optionals. fuel tank is the same on all (class 5) except for python mk2 (class 4). all other medium ships don't come even close to ones pointed with jump or range.
by it's very design, type 8 is clearly an explorer/miner, made to get valuable items and rush back to the bubble, to safety. i would suspect retrieving of ax materials was the main objective when they made it but by giving it many small hardpoints and large optional internals they made it viable for mining in the black, too.
facts are facts. if you don't like that type 8 is not a freighter but an explorer, go argue with f-dev. i didn't made the ship. i just love it. it fits my role almost perfectly.
i can finally go scout and mine at the same time, not making a double trip in dbx/krait or pestering a friend to come with me on a boring (for him) exploration."
Would be nice if they made weapon combined with all that BS!! TOO BEAT THE GOIDS,I WOOD LIKE TOO FIGHT THEM BUT TOO MUCH FOR ME A NOOB. Just Saying?
Because the paint job isn't that good and it was tight fisted to make it top 50% of contributors instead of 75% of contributors.
Federal Frigate!
Alliance Frigate
too large for pads in general.
Maybe? Just maybe? ...
Frontier will finally realise just how utterly crxp some of their paint jobs are...
Fdev really thought we would give up hard to acquire encoded material for an ugly krait paint job 😂
It’s about 10-15 minutes (round trip) for 150-200 g3 mats for the event via cross trading from Jameson crash, so I gave around 400 G3’s to hopefully secure myself in top 50%. Was way easier to do than the 3000 or so tons of cargo runs from ever increasingly far away mostly medium purchase locations to get to 50%, and hope that the number doesn’t increase over 3000 tons…
So I’ve been liking how few people have cared to touch the encoded mats one leading to a lower barrier for 50%
@@guhak cool. Still aint worth it though
@guhak yes I picked the data one too since it's faster and easier
anyway didn't work
If the new ships aren't available to console then I don't give a fuck.
I hope they make that right one day. All the other new games are on all the platforms, so why not Elite?
Consoles are for kids.
