Elite Dangerous - New Ship - The Type 8 In Action

I just wish there was something to do with it that I haven't already done for the last 10 years. I don't think anything will get me back top this game, I've done everything a thousand times already. It needs new content, not just new ships to do the same content with.

New ship? That was quick. Amazing how often frontier comes out with new ships. Can’t wait for the next one in 2030.

So its the rear of a Mole with the front of a Vulture. I didn't realize Drake was making ships in the Elite universe :)

With the Type 8 coming maybe the type 7 will finally be adjusted to Medium pads like it should have always been.

What a squandered opportunity this game has been. Could have been the most immersive and lifelike space MMO out there. A lot of the framework is already there: the galaxy, the ships, the economy... but seems like theyre just not interested in making it. Game still feels like its in test mode 10 years later

Why did the devs wait until the game died to release banger ship designs?

i hate to parrot the rest of the comments but this really would have been cool as something to keep me interested during the release period of odyssey, not something years later for a game i've become far too jaded about.

Imagine if they added anti aliasing to the game.

We never end the dream of the Panther Clipper

2700 players on Steam, it's hanging in there i guess.

406t of cargo. They announced the optional internals for the t8.

I like it! However I agree with many others, I whish there were some new experiences to do with it other than the same things we've been doing for years.

I regularly fly type-6, didn't like the type-7 box look. This seems right up my alley, fantastic looking ship.

Maybe I'm crazy, but to me that screams form over function. I don't doubt I could have misunderstood something, but I really don't see how such a shape would make any practical sense for a hauler vessel : the super long front "arms" that gives the ship more footprint for seemingly no reason, the "folding" engines that kind of separate from the main body of the ship for god knows what purpose ... For all my Elite years, I've always "trusted" the ships I was flying around in the sense that I knew they looked the best way they could to fit their niche. It makes sense for a Mamba to have super long front arms as it's a Lambo luxury kind of craft, as much as it makes sense for the Type-7 to be a brick, the Dolphin to be a stylish fish or the Corvette to look like a warship. Not only that, but I'm pretty sure every ship had their interior thought-out in a way that made people outside the Frontier team (like FRj) able to fill every nook and cranny with rooms, hallways, and systems that made perfect logical sense.. Anyways, in the end maybe that's just me, but I really do think we might just be witnessing the complete loss of what made Elite's ship designs "click" in the first place..

I remember the old days where Frontier actually cared about the community... a really long time ago....

Ship looks real cool. Imagine if they added cool new stuff to do with it??

i love the look!

Nice to see this in flight ... Good video Sir ;)

The colour and shape of the Type 8 is giving me Eve online's Venture mining ship vibes.

Almost has a RoboTech carrier look to it.
