Is there any chance to get a fourth starter ship like the Drake Dragonfly?asked by RufusUltra
TL;DRThey want more starter ships long term and like the Dragonfly idea, but already-sold ships come first and design questions like exposure and quantum travel remain, so it may take a while.
I hope so. I love that idea. That was always one of my favourites. It's not up to me but I think it would be amazing.
Yeah, I mean it definitely has gotten a lot of community sentiment because the idea of the "space motorcycle" is really cool. Long term we absolutely want to have more starter ships in the game that just the current three that we are offering. But a lot of it is getting our other ships built out first, that we've already sold you. But I think we have been talking some of the concessions and design setup: "Okay, it's the space motorcycle but do we have an open air pilot, exposed to the vacuum of space? Do we let him go into Quantum?"
Yeah, it's a very tricky thing because if it's really small how big are these components because you're heavily involved in the components process. A Quantum Drive is not a small thing.
Yeah. It's like "How small can it actually be? How exposed can it be?" But things like that, with starter ships in general, we're definitely going to keep exploring stuff down the road but it may take a little bit longer before something like the Dragonfly could happen.
Cool.
