i hope the next set of MK ships are the big 3

Conda MK2
Cutter MK2
Corvette MK2
and in line with a small Vulture MK2

I'd like to see some new fed and imp ships, but bear in mind the income from arx unlock would be severely limited due to rank locking in the game.

So they're unlikely under the current model, unless they're made available no matter what your rank is, which would create yet another firestorm of complaints and claims of P2W.

Gunship Mk2, now with even more guns!

coulda maybe do an eagle mk3 and imperial eagle mk2 i guess. Or yknow, they could just release these directly and not be greedy with early access crap. Unlikely though. Alternatively they could do some lore stuff and make it so you can "retrofit" your imperial/federal ships for a fee that allows them to hold an SCO, really they should do that for most ships tbh. Logically all the superpowers would immediately try to incorporate SCO tech compatibility into their navy asap, given SCOs have a higher jump range in addition to faster in-system travel (response and deployment times and ranges kinda matter to militaries believe it or not).

Eagle is very unlikely as nearly no one uses them. Though I'd be all over one if it had an interesting hardpoint setup, like 5 small. An upscaled Condor with 2S 1L would be fun.

Unlikely, because it seems to be working well. Look on the bright side, if Elite earns good money then Elite will get more content.

Doesn't mean much if that new content drifts more and more into paid exclusivity.

Developing a live service game take money bro, and their mediocre skins ain't cutting it. Nor did EDO belly flopping off the halfdome.

I'm aware, however many a game has died due to ever encroaching paywalls

The eagle makes a wonderful courier ship or something small and fast to bomb around with to do some ground missions.

I want a Vulture X2. Note: Not a "Mk II". I want two Vultures, welded together belly to belly.

I'd love to see a mid range ship something between the FC and regular large ships with maybe 2 medium docking pads or hangar... something NEW
I know I'd buy one even for ARX lol

If the paywalls encroach I'll complain. Until then I'm not going to assume the worst.

+1
It's my go-to ship for Odyssey. Respectable stats with engineering, looks cool, can land in nearly any terrain, turns on a dime, fun to fly. I love that Odyssey made small ships more relevant.

hopefully they design some new ships and not rework the old once.
Noone rly need thsi
