The Anaconda Mk II is an upcoming large multirole ship produced by Faulcon DeLacy. This vessel is a redesign of its iconic predecessor, the Anaconda.[1] Early access for ARX launches in October 2026.[1] Art Director Chris Gregory described it as a battleship or a deep-space tanker.[1]
Overview
The Anaconda launched in 2856 so a successor was long-overdue 456 years later. It is FSD SCO compatible for faster intra-system flying. It has more large hardpoints than the original.[2] The Mark II is significantly more refined.[3] The hull is flattened, but longer and a wider wedge shape of the stern section.[3] The raised bridge improves the bridge's visibility like an aircraft carrier's island.[3] The bridge has 4 pilot seats for multicrew. The center of the top hull runs like a trench to the bow. The middle of the bow was removed to improve the view from the bridge. The two prongs resemble a Farragut-Class Battle Cruiser. Between the prongs is 1 huge hardpoint (Class 4).[4] It also has 4 large hardpoints (Class 3).[4] It has new broadly spaced legs for stable landing on planets. The stern has 4 large thrusters with vectoring flaps. Below the hull is a large ramp that opens towards the bow.
