Elite Dangerous Lakon Type 8 - What type of GAME CHANGER will it be?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2024
- The Lakon Type-8 is a new ship introduced in Elite Dangerous. It's not a variant of an existing ship but a completely new design from Lakon. Frontier Developments, the makers of the game, haven't released all the details about the Type-8 yet, but here's what we know so far:
Lakon Freighter - The Type-8 is designed to be a large hauling ship, similar in function to the Type-9 but with a few key differences.
Medium Landing Pad Compatibility - One of the biggest advantages of the Type-8 is that it can land on medium landing pads, despite its large size. This makes it much more versatile than the Type-9, which can only land on large landing pads. This is a major benefit as most smaller surface ports and orbital outposts only have medium pads.
Supercruise Overcharge - Like the Python Mark II, the Type-8 will enable supercruise overcharge. This will allow it to jump between systems much faster than other ships of its size.
Industrial Aesthetics - The Type-8 has a very industrial look to it, with a blocky design and large engines. The cockpit is located at the front of the ship, in the Lakon tradition. The forward arms of the ship will house many of the new ship's hard points.
Unconfirmed Details - Frontier Developments has not yet released any information on the Type-8's internal compartments, optional modules, or weapons loadout.

Thanks so much Ricardo - you're always my first source for breaking Elite Dangerous news, and I'm very grateful to have you :)
I want to see a better dedicated medium hauler than the Python MKI. Finger crossed!
The Type 8 ability to land on medium size pads is probably one of its biggest features if it is capable of hauling huge amounts of cargo.
how much is huge 500 has to be as much as you could possibly expect (outlier )
i have a nimble python thatll carry 288 with shields
@@davewright8206 Apparently, the type 8 will be able to carry 406 tonnes of cargo
This one looks like a CAT construction machine, so mining, hauling, would be nice if it has some good agility and a Fighter bay, great for keeping pirates distracted and have fun in planets.
Looks like it has two massive air con units on the front pylons. COOOOOOOL😂
With the ability to strap a size 7 fuel scoop it, this thing could make a good exploration ship. Can't wait to get my hands on one.
now that is a good point
Great video! It's hard to speculate about the Type-8 without brining the Python mkI into the discussion. I could easily see the Type-8 being able to haul more than the Python, but with a smaller PP/PD, keeping the python and Krait mkII as solid choices for mining and combat roles.
You bring up a great point with the engines and FSD capabilities, though. What if they put a class 6 FSD on this? We could have some sort of "Anaconda-lite" deep space explorer/hauler on our hands, which would be very interesting!
In either case, it looks like it would expand the available roster of roles that ships have to offer, without making anything into an antique in the process.
Lakon: "We have the MEATS". Don't ask, that just reminded me of those Arby's commercials.
But in all seriousness, the Type 8 looks so good. I'm salty I can't have one, being a console player.
Excellent video as always. I am thinking fast, agile hauler - and a Ship Kit that adds a big box in the "forks".
Yeah, i looked at it and immediately wanted to take it into deep space...!
The industrial look on the ship makes it stand out, I think. In a good way. Not sure about how the design will work out in combat, though. After all, there are two large things right beside the cockpit, and they're also situated above it. They will possibly block the pilot's view, and make things difficult. I guess we'll have to wait and see...
I think we should maybe not title these in a fashion where "Elite" and "Game Changer" are used together lol ...especially when it's just a ship. It will likely change one thing, slightly. I'm willing to bet that one thing will indeed be mining, so that we can finally have a new mining meta, apart from the perfect all-around ship that is the Python owning everything from mining, to passenger runs, while not being too shabby at combat either lol
you still clicked on the video- the clickbait worked.
They really pulled the rug from under the doomers with this one. First FDev announced new ships as 'variants' to get everyone moaning and whining about 'lazy copy paste effort' in the comments for every ED youtube video, and then FDev show off this 'totally not a variant but a brand new ship' Type 8.
Nicely played, Frontier.
Too true
nicely said m8 true to form you always get the doom sayers
That all depends on how PP 2.0 plays out
3:40 it isn’t the falcon, it’s the Moldy Crow, but made by lakon Look it up
External Cargo haulage in between those forks.
My hope is that it will be a fun ship.
I'd really like a bit more cargo than a Python (400 would be an ideal amount in some ways), but use it to make outpost to outpost trade viable, especially if it can go long distances for the 300 ly "deliver X goods to a medium outpost" missions.
408 tonne - max
I'm hoping for better mining ship that can actually be fitted for laser, sub-surface and deepcore mining simultanioustly.
Yes, Python MKI can do it. Just launchers are limited to 1 magazine each and then you need to synthesize ammo or lasers are limited to one.
Not ideal for multi-mode mining.
I run 1 sub surface, 1 seismic, 1 abrasion and 2 lasers on mine. Cargo is 192 or 182. I rarely run out of ammo (once I got the hang of core and subsurface) before filling up including a full class 4 refinery hopper sometimes. Perfect little setup if you are based out of a carrier.
IMO it'll be Python MK1 stats but with more cargo and less firepower.
If it has a good jump range 50 ly+ and is cheaper than 30 mil credits then I would consider it for exploration 😅
Honestly, this looks more like a mining or salvage vessel, It has a more industrial look like a heavy piece of equipment. Definitely not for combat or exploration. The massive amount of thrusters looks like it was made for hauling.
Hmm, salvage. I hope the new feature coming is EVA and lets us do some hand salvage. With this ship for ship salvage, that would be a cool addition. Would seem to be less work so implement than base building.
@@stevetowner8091 that would be great. Especially you could find a guardian derelict spacecraft in a decaying orbit. We only have a certain amount of time to retrieve artifacts would definitely be a plus for exploration.
If it carries nearly as much as a Type 7 then I'm very happy.
I just want a reason not to use my cutter for trading or mining or to be honest, everything. Cutter does everything so well that i just dont use any other ship. The Python mark2 kinda replace my corvette as my primary BH ship. Would be nice to have something like that but for cutter replacement.
Can we get 500 tons and a decent jump without a Guardian booster? Here's hoping. PP blockade runner!😅
Good guess. Mine was a tad lower but in the ballpark.
If it can carry more then my cargo cutter 688 tons or my t9 that can carry 725 tons of cargo would be great if it can carry 1,000 tons.
2 Large HP and 2 Medium HP and 4 Small, 3x6 optional, 3x4 optional and 2x2 optional and 3x1 optional please.
I thought the viper mkIV was available for credits?
Nope
I haven't played in a little while, can you no longer get the viper mk4?
Same as it ever was, mate.
@@Tamburello_1994 i thought you couldnt get the cobra mk4 unless you got the game at a certain time, but the viper 4? i dont remember that being unavailable?
@@clockwork6966 It's not. Same as it ever was
what are greblies
Yes the Python Mk II is a variant. Unfortunately it's a variant of the Fer De Lance and not the Python as the name would suggest!
Python Light? Can't haul, but goes fast.
It’s an interesting look, but not realistic for a hauler. The type 9 but smaller in all dimensions is a hauler. This is more of a mining ship layout. Look at games with physucalized cargo for what a cargo hauler looks like.
ship interior? no. Less grind? No. More exploration? No ... nothing new under the sun(s)
@@lioraja9951 could be
I'd rather have a HAULER with 2000 ton capacity....
thing is its boost speed will never be better than that of a combat focused ship so any one who wants to take a shot still will be able to. i would be somewhat annoyed if it boosted faster than say a FDL / vulture as that would be daft. for large ships you have the cutrer / corvette but both cost a lot more and need faction work, medium class its going to clash with the python which is already a medium combat/trader ship and a lot more on top. getting to be a few to many medium ships in the game.
The entire "Type" line is stupid. Type 6 should be the largest cargo hauler on for a SMALL PAD. Type 7 should be the largest cargo hauler on for a MEDIUM PAD. Type 9 should be the largest cargo hauler on for a LARGE PAD. Failing that, they are useless.
I don't care what the Type 8 ends up being, so long as it's not useless,
Sure the prongs look cool but they have no business on a trader.
It should haul more cargo than the Python.
They could fit 20 size 8 cargo racks in it if they wanted, and make it look as slim as a sheet of paper. The amount of cargo space is just a variable in the game, not a physical measurement.
However, my guess is that it will either be a better combat hauler than the Python 1, or it will have more cargo capacity, but definitely not both.
@@Sighman Then where would the ship interiors go? Joke aside, I hope they do put some consideration into size vs capacity and I do hope for more cargo that the Python.
a little bit of gear ...
would be a waste of time
the type 9 and 10 are lard
