The | The classic Anaconda released in 2856 so a successor was long-overdue 456 years later. It is [[Frame Shift Drive (SCO)|FSD SCO]] compatible for faster intra-[[Star system|system]] flying. It has more large [[Hardpoint|hardpoints]] than the original.<ref name=":1">[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-september-dev-log.649883/page-2#post-10893882 Elite Dangerous | September Dev Log] - 24 Sep 2026</ref> The Mark II is significantly more refined.<ref name=":2">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5gPoT-RLEY The All-New Anaconda Mk II (Elite Dangerous) - Galnet News Digest] - 24 Sep 2026 - YouTube</ref> The hull is flattened, but longer and a wider wedge shape in the aft section.<ref name=":2" /> The raised bridge improves the bridge's visibility like an aircraft carrier's island.<ref name=":2" /> 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 another large hardpoint. It has new broadly spaced legs for stable landing on [[planets]]. The aft has 4 large [[thrusters]] with vectoring flaps. A large ramp can open at the aft section. | ||
