I like the Prowler, but not to own, it's too big and I don't care for the drop pod feature. I'd be very happy with this ship if the 2xS4 are gimballed or they improve fixed weapons to be usable. I love S4 guns, they're beastly, but nothing can have them on gimbals without being a huge ship.
The Prowler's wing mounted S4s are gimballed. If you want fixed you could put S5s on.

A new medium class from Consolidated or Crusader would be nice. At this point though, I'd like to see the Nova, X1, and the Titansuit. I'd also like to see a traditional gunboat like the Redeemer or a new Corvette. We're always clamering for something to pretend is a gunboat. How about a real gunboat? We still haven't seen a single, traditional Corvette; meaning guns instead of torps and no hangar, but cap class. Would be like a flying spinal mount, and very fast. (I wouldn't want one, but still. . .)

They need to do something real with the Redeemer. It's long enough. If they just rebranded it as MISC I think they could put it out pretty quickly. I think though they are going to change the engines regardless.

Would be super cool to be able to fly it to a surface and do mining, but there's already enough mining crap in game and the nodes spawns so far apart that going between them would suck. As the Carrack can't detect nodes (stupidly) you'd need a whole second ship just to scan.
Sorry, but a wheeled vehicle does not make sense unless it's for places that a ship can't go, such as large underground caverns filled with valuable ores (because it would not be worth it for non-valuable ores)
Nodes are too far apart, you don't have a good scan radius, and right now, you can't drill down for access to veins like they indicated in the prospector shot long ago.

Xi'an ships would be awesome! But we have enough haulers right now as well since all we can do in game is haul and mine.
this might be interesting, but there are a lot of haulers out there that need to be completed already. Taurus, Hercules variants, Hull series, etc.

yet another light fighter....yawn...

This ain't happening. If it needs a tractor beam then they'd have to suddenly throw tractor tech into 3.10 and at that point you'd be able to push salvage, repair, and a host of other things in. I have a feeling we won't see salvage until after Pyro.
The refinery ship is the only one I would be interested in, but it needs a ton of tech to be useful. Ability to drop and replace bags. Ability to haul bags to the refinery ship. Ability to transfer refined metals to a cargo ship, etc. This is a huge game-play loop that already need to happen for the Orion, but it will also need a complete revamp of mining and associated functions to make it useful.

I'm still waiting for that Xi'an hauler. Supposed to be around 300SCU which I can attest as a Freelancer pilot is a decent amount of space. If it were just a cargo hold and ship around it that's going to be not too big a ship, not to small. Sounds just right. I mean... I can't afford one, especially not with the Alien Tax, but I am still waiting for it :)
This certainly interests me. Especially considering how much I loved the Lancer, but was completely turned off of it by its interior. I love those medium/small ships.
Tevarin Light Fighter intended to be an Escort Fighter for the Prowler. Advanced Shields, 2x S4 Mounts, reasonably stealthy and with a small profile the ship concept silhouettes looked amazing. Interesting Fighters to flesh out the Races are important and the Tevarin are cool bird samurai.
I'd like to see this. What is really like to see is a dedicated stealth hauler. Although the MSR can be outfitted for that.

That Origin one, that was in that email ages ago. That might be it!
Ugh. Too pretty.
OMG NO! Soooo tired of ships that we won't see for 8 years! Give us a shiny new flight ready ship!
Lol, so yeah, concur. And kinda what I meant. Straight to flight ready.
will take anything at this point but another combat ship, tired of everything being driven by SQ42 lol.
I kinda want sq42 done, so I'm on board with them doing assets for that. No issue at all.
Medium sized Origin ship is what I think they hinted at.
Did they mention what its function would be?
We need a drilling rig... holes in the ground type. That drilling rig should have the ability to Tap resources (gas or liquid). Also, I think we should use the periodic table as the reference for elements because it is not only realistic but educational.
Lol. This is awesome. Getting flashbacks to my decade of oil patch in Northern Alberta.
Unless it's a ship with a purpose. ;)
Dare to dream! Haha

1 – A Ground Mining Vehicle for 1-2 players, allowing you to carry an extended inventory, mined loot, as well as being able to mount a mining laser itself and detect minables.
This one would be nice ! Paired with an exploration ship you could team up with 1-2 friends and have fun exploring and mining on planets.

My guess is on Origin too, even though i really really dont like those ships at all and i dont plan to get any in the future ever (300i, 600i or 890j errr yuukkk 🤮 i make an exception for x1 and m50 but they dont look that Origin much to me^^). Too clean and "fresh look" from the factory for my taste :)

They're too pretty. They just don't speak '"ship" to me.
This is why I love SC, everyone has their own taste and preference and there is usually something for everyone. I actually love the 600I, I feel people are a bit annoyed at it because for the price and its size and role it should at least have a small/medium med bed and a few more options on par with the Carrack, it needs more to be competitive. They tout it as an exploration vessel but most of us feel it just doesn't have what it needs to do the job right. But then again it supposed to have "The 600i is designed with a cutting-edge modular technology, allowing you to customize your ship for your needs. " so I am waiting to see what this ship ends up actually being, I think with a few tweaks it can rival the Carrack in some area's.

Yeah man, I feel ya. This game is amazing, and really, it doers speak to different people in so many different ways.

Lemme know if that 600i gets that modularity, or some upgrades. I MAY be willing to over look the pretty for some decent functionality, haha.

I was looking at the 600i on Hardpoint the other day, and it gave me a painful reminder of the great heights from which we have fallen. If you'll recall, originally we were told in any gimble or turret you could step down a size and place two weapons. The Hardpoint calculator still says the 600i has room for three twin S4 turrets up front. If that bird had come to market with 6S4 gimbled, you can bet it'd be a lot more popular. Still a bit slow though.

What i want to see is the airliner (spaceliner?) Civilians ship added. It looked great on the concept, love the shape, and it would be really cool to have it as the first basic ship of non-combat Ai flying around to populate the total emptiness. It would make for a nice pve escort mission as well...

I would love to see more PVE ships (whether peaceful or not) going about their business. Passenger liners, haulers, etc. I know they'll eventually be added in but right now space just seems so empty.

That's the Crusader series for me. They look the most futuristic and sleek, what I wanted Origin to be. Also love MISC just cause it's a workhorse manufacturer.

Yea im guessing that would be wrapped up in a NPC intelligence overhaul along with NPC's you can hire to work on your ships, and ships on trade routes.
Think thats quite far away sadly but definatlely one of the things im most looking forward to.
