I would be very happy for a nice passenger ship that works with SCO and can jump huge distances.

They should call it the Baleen and it shouldn't even fit through the mail-slot.

Instead, you should have to stop at the side of the station and use collector-limpets to transports the passengers into the base.

Oh, and it shouldn't be able to land on planets, but should have space to dock a Beluga with which you can deliver people to the surface.

Also, any ship that comes near it should have the affects of a gravity well.

Planets which can be scanned by two probes, should also be pulled towards the ship. (Ok, this bit is a joke..)

I'd like the panther clipper, for the hauling on colonization.

i want a large multi-role ship or medium multi role ship this time around Cobra MK5 is nice but i like mediums for day to day flying.

When it comes to colonisation and hauling goods to build stations ... we're going to need a bigger boat.

Don't you think it's dead boring?
Also, something something, large pad.

I think a medium passenger ship would be welcome.
Another (eternal) possibility is the Boa. Though that's also close to being boring.

Personally, i would like to see a new small ship. Something under 150,000 cr
I think that area could do with some attention. It's all Eagles, the now twice outdated Vipers and possibly Haulers, if you're crazy.

But since it will probably be tied to colonization, i think we're looking at a large ship.

If the Beluga wouldn't be so problematic, I would wouldn't want a new ship to be wasted on being another passenger carrier. However, for the time being, it's what I'd like.

Imperial med. Schooner / Corsair - inside Panther Clipper.

The horseshoe crab ship could pass for Imperial Sidewinder / Sidewinder/Adder/Hauler MkII, if it´s a different ship.

Heresy! The Boa Class Cruiser was a beast.

People have forgotten the law of mention feline:tool pushes back release half a year.
-the current amount of mentions here & official forums puts it at three years.

The ship on the post does look a bit gutamayan (sp?) imo.

So did the Mandalay in the concept art they used to tease it. Best to just wait and see at this point.

Both have a layout of the thruster frame which is the main spoiler.

I mean with this game it is always wait and see. :D

So was a diplodocus.
How many lumbering slowpokes does the game need?

Yeah i think Boa (a new Mk) belongs in Elite. I'm glad the Fer-de-lance is in. But maybe a Gecko would be funner to fly?

looks a lot like a Core Dynamics ship and with the drones helping build the ship it might just be one of there ships since they make all the Drones. i would guess a new passenger ship but with the limited use of one of those ships it might not be one of those. so taking bets what get a MK2 version Eagle Vulture or Dropship. or a whole new line like the Mandalay was.

It does. And since the engines are highlighted, it's very likely to be an Imperial SCO optimized ship.

Does it fit between the Clipper and Cutter, or Clipper and Courier?

Is it the Imperial Trader/Imperial Explorer returning to the series? It doesn't look yuge enough to be the Explorer but Colonization is coming up...
Brewer Corp isn't the only game in town.

In the image, the bulk of the ship could be hidden behind the wall of scaffolding on the left. And there seems to be an outline of a space-shuttle type nose behind the wall of scaffolding on the right.
