The Anaconda launched 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 of the stern 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 1 huge hardpoint (Class 4).<ref name=":3">[https://discord.com/invite/frontierunlocked Frontier Unlocked] Discord Server - September 2026 - Community Manager Phil Weeks said “we can confirm that the Anaconda Mk II has four large hardpoints as well as one huge hardpoint, we'll share the full  breakdown and more detail soon.”</ref> It also has 4 large hardpoints (Class 3).<ref name=":3" /> It has new broadly spaced legs for stable landing on [[planets]].
