I don't think it would be far off to have a ship like that parked alongside a station and a shuttle used to access the port facilities.

I dunno. The newsletter says it's the largest pilotable FEDERAL ship. Which would lead me to believe it's just slightly smaller than an anaconda.

Fewer hardpoints too.

I reckon it should hold 2 sideys or a cobra ;) What would be cool is if it had the ability to carry a couple of ships that could be crewed by other PC's. Would change going out and exploring :D

Wow, that video is a masterpiece! Probably better than FD trailers.

The fed corvette looks good and huge, and since we're getting planetary landings soon that require us to have a moon buggy, I really don't see why the anaconda or the corvette wouldn't finally be able to carry a small vessel. It doesn't have to be a sidey - it could be that new small CQC ship - the condor. We already know it's so small it can't even fit a jump drive so that would fit the "use it to go to the station" purpose.

WAIT! There's a BACON station in ED?! :shock:

I hope they add more C4 versions of whatever weapons we have from C1-3. Based on ED's current state regarding armaments, 2 huge ones seem unnecessary, considering we have a limited selection of C4 guns atm.

Hey guys, really sorry but there was a slight error in the text description. The actual hard points are two small, two medium, ONE large and two huge. Sorry for the confusion all!
