Thanks Ric for showing it off and especially for the test drive in SCO. The fuel efficiency is crazy. With that SCO A drive, it looks to be able to cover approximately 10 million l/s in a single run if fully kitted out for fuel (406 tons). If you felt generous with your time and covered a run with a B rated drive, I'd watch the hell out of that!

[kobaltstaub]

I noticed how fast the charging of the frameshift drive was "out of the box" compared to say a python. I'm getting one of those next week for sure.
EDIT: I'm going to get the standard one though, I have the credits to make it an A and I always fly without guns, so lighter and more Ly range. Sometimes without shield so I don't really need the stellar. If I want a paint job, I'll use the arx that I saved buying the standard

[MrRocksW]

Love the look of this ship, will be buying it early access.

[TheShadow]

Damn even E rated thrusters have fast boost speed i'm definitively getting this ship

[duncanidahoffs]

That's what that is, that is! Thanks for the run through and the giggle Ric!

[billmankin]

Can't wait to see how this works as a Miner. Keep my Python kitted for Robigo Mines and shift to that if it works.

[beowulfschmidt]

Well, if I had some reservations before, I have none now. Thanks for the preview!

[xXManhattanProjectXx]

ED needs more ships with visible Thrust Vectoring. Sure you dont see it all the time since you're in 1st person but it just adds that extra bit of cool to the Cool space ship game

[Raso]

Really wish the pylons in the front did something like when you added cargo racks or filled cargo space you would see cargo containers fill in along the fork.

[BigPaws]

Thanks for the review and showing off what we can do with it. The engine "nacelle" movement is awesome and reminds me of the Constellation ships from Star Citizen. I'll be sure to get one next week!!

[andrewbrannigan]

LOL If Bumblebee was a freighter rather than a VW Beetle car ;-)

[plflaherty]

Thanks for taken her out for a spin, I'll be getn one.

[ArztvomDienst]

Reminds me of the P-5000 Powered Work Loader from Aliens, imagine two of those exoskeletons doing loading, fits perfectly imho

[Phalanx]

Looks like a nice hauler/explorer/smuggler.

[revelation_jeff]

A missed opportunity. This should of been a miner with multiple medium hardpoints. Still does not look nearly as compelling as the 3d renders in terms of saturation and rust gradient details. Still looks too clean for my eyes. And I'll never understand frontiers obsession with NASCAR paint job schemes on sci-fi ships...

[dpittman]

I still like the default yellow the best.

[hanswichmann]

Thankx Ric! Been waiting to see your review 1st for the real poop! See you out there.. Funny but doesn't it seem the front spears/mandibles should retract inward/back also?

[Shicksalblume]

It's better than an SC ship, because it's coming to a game that actually exists and isn't a 10+ year alpha.

[witzoscerebart]

It reminds me of the Eve Online mining ship "Venture".

[gutozardy]

I think FDev will create new game mechanics for being used by Type-8. Probably some cargo thing.
