Mandalay
 | Work in progress This page is about an unreleased or work-in-progress item. All information is subject to change. |
The Mandalay is an upcoming medium explorer ship by Zorgon Peterson.
The developers said the Mandalay "should give the Anaconda some competition" in terms of jump range.[1] The ship is optimized for SCO-capable frame shift drives; the developers have hinted that it may be even more stable during SCO than both of the previous SCO-optimized ships, the Python Mk II and the Type-8 Transporter.[1]
The boarding ramp is under the cockpit which makes it easier to line up the landing for exobiological scanning.
The early access release is scheduled for the 22nd of October 2024.
