A community discussion revealed a visual inconsistency in the Anaconda Mk II blueprint, where the port side thruster assembly appeared angled differently from the starboard side. Faulcon DeLacy's Chief Design Architect explained that the image was an early pre-production engineering sketch, not meant for public release. This sketch was part of the concept phase exploring various thrust-vectoring setups for atmospheric and low-speed handling. The clarification addresses player concerns about design inconsistencies and highlights the iterative nature of Elite Dangerous ship development.
- Image was an early concept sketch, not final design
- Explored thrust-vectoring for improved handling
