Type-9 Heavy
This information is based on ships identified in development diary videos or mentioned by name by David Braben or Frontier Developments.
The Lakon Type 9 first appeared in the development diary videos and in some of the live streams done by Frontier. Later it appeared in the early Alpha stages and is one of the four ships that was in the first release of the Premium Beta.
The ship itself is often seen as a freighter, although it can be a potent threat if equipped with the right weapons. It can, with good aim and piloting take down a Sidewinder in one pass. Yet, the role of this ship is most likely going to be a trader as it is incredibly slow and lumbering. Also note that it has problems fitting through the narrow gates of the Coriolis space stations and can therefore be very expensive to fly if the pilot is not sufficiently skilled.
