The author of the video discusses the lack of new ship additions in Elite Dangerous since the Beyond series in 2018. They propose ideas for new ships, including specialized racing ships and a dedicated exploration ship, as well as reclassifying certain ships into a new category called battle cruisers.
The author begins by addressing the lack of new ships introduced in Elite Dangerous since the Beyond series in 2018. They suggest helping Frontier with the creative process by coming up with ideas for new ships. The author mentions that during the Beyond series, new ships were added along with various features such as wing missions, material traders, and squadrons. They propose adding new ships specifically designed for racing, as the current ships in the game are multi-purpose and lack specialization in racing. The author suggests three new small racing ships, each with different characteristics in terms of speed, maneuverability, and acceleration. They also propose creating three race tracks in the game to support this gameplay.
The author then moves on to discussing the need for a new large ship, specifically a dedicated exploration ship. They suggest a ship with a jump range comparable to the Anaconda but with exceptional heat management, large fuel capacity, and low shield and weapon capabilities. They believe this ship would provide a unique exploration experience. Additionally, the author suggests reclassifying certain ships such as the Type-7, Clipper, and Orca into a new category called battle cruisers. These ships would have firepower similar to large ships but without the same level of armor or shield strength. They would rely more on maneuverability to avoid damage.
In conclusion, the author encourages readers to share their ideas for new ships and their desired statistics. They highlight the potential for a new ship to introduce a new profession or enhance existing ones. The video ends with a request to subscribe to the channel and share the video to possibly gain Frontier’s attention and bring new ships to the game.
