I've become well acquainted with the Cutter and Type 9 over the last few days - they've both been loaded up to the bulkheads with cargo and flown to the far corners of the bubble.

What I've really missed is the silky SCO drive of the Mandalay. It's a rocky trip in these buckets when boosting out to far flung planets and I'm hoping this gap in the market might be filled at some stage during this years roadmap.

I can only speculate on what else it might contain. Personally I'd like to see some updates to on-foot gameplay but I'm happy to see these continued updates whatever they contain.

Similarly, I also believe that the Phase 5 update could be aimed at streamlining the current mission system, as well as incorporating new, more complex global missions, like the ‘Interstellar Initiatives’ we had years ago, but with a greater degree of freedom of action and with different possible end results.

As for the new ships, I think we're going to see some surprises with the appearance of a ship of enormous size, probably in conjunction with the Vanguards update... and perhaps with a lot of multi-crew possibilities.

Gutamaya Corsair I'm not one of the biggest fans of medium ships, I have to confess, I wanted my "beloved" Panther Clipper to go well with the Trailblazer update, it would be a masterstroke by Frontier. But the Corsair, with a little effort, resembles Kyle Katarn's ship. I thought she was really cool, she looks like the Pelican. I miss the snakes...

Panther Clipper? I know I'm a broken record. But I expect bigger ships. I wanted a year with ships incorporated from the Elite RPG and the Elite lore that we found in space.

I think in the long term, medium and small ships after a while exist just for the sake of existing, players stop using them, because the practice is different from that.

This Vanguards update has great potential to raise the level of the Elite and stop being the "petty war of minor factions". I'm very interested! But funny mechanics like missions "from the station's mission list" will make me sad, we have billions in the account why not hire an NPC, I really don't like working for others.

I wanted a change in the mechanics of the game and an improvement in the game interface, it is very 80's. It has a great chance of being a promising year.
