In Elite Dangerous News this week…
There’s an excellent new guide showing how to make better use of mission boards. SCO Frameshift Drives and Enhanced AX modules are now available for sale on fleet carriers. And do Arthur’s words mean the type 8 is being built for open combat? o7 CMDRs

First combat freighter? Keelback is crying in the background.
"First combat freighter"
The Keelback and Type 10 would like a word.
I did Federal Massacre missions. Once the Vette was unlocked, I could A rate everything.
Combat freighter… or excellent mining ship? Looks similar to EVE’s starter mining ship 😉 Definitely a compatible role, and if it’s swifter than a Python, and roomier than a Krait, I have much use for it in my fleet.
I feel like the original Python and the Krait mkII function well as combat freighters already, but they're just so competent in every career as it is.
“Combat fighter” – it looks like a box, industrial version of the Mamba. (After a few beers)
I finally unlocked the corvette about three months ago after seven years of game play lol,
I just kept putting it off I had unlocked the Cutter back in 2017
Elite keeps getting interesting, but IRL grind from work keeps me pinned down.
The type 8 looks too cool for it to be just a trader. I would find that weird. Hard points in the front like that wouldn't make sense if defense was the main idea. Even less sense with open play in mind.
Honestly a combat freighter is a nice niche. I was thinking earlier what kind of ship ED was still missing, and I kept thinking of a Millenium Falcon style ship. Beefy, fast, can hold itself in a fight, but first and foremost a smuggler/blockade runner.
First combat freight? Looks directly at the T7 handling herself fairly decently in combat, if you know what you are doing and are crazy enough (fortunately I am crazy enough).
Hmm, I was for long time using concept of combat freighter, others were laughing but it had its point. And after my failed try to battle against Thargoids, which managed to get me on engineering (G5 drag drives, G4 recharge distro and G3 armored PP) my Krait is even more capable. And Midshards against human ships maybe are not most effective (I heard that mod chargers are better) but incredibly fune and easy to use. I wonder if T8 will be better, then I am changing ship. Although would be good if it would have thrusters, PP and distro class like Krait
It’s kind of funny, I just started a trip from the bubble with my FC to basically circle the galaxy a few weeks ago but the type 8 looks amazing so I think I’m going to trek back sooner than I expected
It taken me years to get a federal Corvette
I first got Elite dangerous back in 2019 of December Christmas Day
That's when I got Elite dangerous horizons
Now I got Odyssey during December of 2023
Before van I upgraded to Elite dangerous horizons 4.0 that did give me a lot of credit boost enough to get me a fleet carrier
It still taken me forever to get a SITH Federal Corvette
5-30-24 THAT'S WHEN I GOT IT FROM 2019 THROUGH THIS YEAR
Unanounced new feature — ship interior gameplay?
What an ugly ship. This is the best FD can come up after 6 years?
Not gonna lie, but if they offer the Type 8 up for sale like the Python Mk II, it seems likely that I'll pick it up as well.
Freighters only need torpedos for effective defense so hopefully the two arms got two class 3s
Freighter fighter? You mean a pirate ship?
huh there is no reason to combat in trade ship.
i just need more cargo than python
It all looks very optimistic and the new ships are very exciting. The Python Mk II is a beast of a ship and it's clear that EDO has a lot coming in the future. I do hope that there isn't too much focus on Open play though. I don't play MMOs, ever, and the experiences I have had in Open have been uniformly negative. If parts of the game become effectively locked away from me by only being accessible in Open mode, I will probably wander away from the game, which would be a shame. Games are played for enjoyment and escapism, and when you sit down in front of your computer wondering what to load up today, you're going to load up what is enjoyable and rewarding, and I have very large Steam and Epic libraries bursting with as yet unplayed games. I know I'm not the only CMDR who feels that way. I hope FDev are encouraging people towards Open without penalising people who are never going to go there.
