There's no debating the fact that David Braben and his crew have created the best space simulator ever to have existed. And at the same time, have zero idea as to how to play it themselve's. The Mandalay can if loaded out correctly and engineed correctly get a better jump range than a ship three time's its size. Who but FDEV would not have known that. A medium loaded out exactly the same as large and the conda is "LARGE". would get a better jump range. They pitched the MANDALAY as an "EXPLORER SHIP" and the delux model come's with stock "A" grades modual rather that "D", hmmmmm They because weight is a concern, provid not one or two weapon slot's, six. Hmmmmm And where as utilies would be important, only 4 are available. Hmmmmmm Starting from scratch and doing a comabat load out, then engineering everything to the max. The Mandalay isn't designed to be an explorer nearly as much as it makes a considerably better combat ship. The none issue's envolved in the use of the SCO, the more than 500 boost, the natual speed being faster. Not to mention the handleing being that of a ship half its size. Make's it a most formable ship to be utilzed in any style of combativeness aka pew pew, even against the supposedly designed for and pitched by FDEV to be a combat Python MKII. I can only assume that after working all day FDEV'ing, when they go home, the last thing they want to do is play ED. Or they wouldn't have pitched the Mandalay as an Explorer, when it actually to the N-th degree a combat ship. Which then make's the Python MKII, basically just an ornament, something to fill up one limit of ship's at their favorite hidi-hole aka station. Having bought one, realizeing just how good it isn't. Have put it what I'd refer to as deep storage. Even the valet's at Jameson won't retrieve it. LOL

i mean the mandalay is not exploration only ship, they said it can be built as exploration ship tho, i just hope they add new ship for only exploration with max range of 120lyr or 100lyrs
