Been flying it and trying some weapon combos.

This is NOT an energy weapon platform. I put a S4 laser on the spinal mount and the reactor just could not keep up with the energy demands. I would run this as a ballistic weapons platform for the S3 and S4 mounts and maybe an energy weapon on the S1 weapon racks.

This would allow you to run your ship energy system more towards a 40/40/20 balance shields/engines/weapons to get you even more performance.

It's FAST. 70 in landing mode. 220 full throttle, 720 ish on afterburner. it responds pretty well. If you are good with ammo, you will do well with this ship. If you need energy weapons because you miss a lot, the Bucc will probably need some significant upgrades before you can use it effectively.

If you are in the PTU, give it a try.

It's FAST. 70 in landing mode. 220 full throttle, 520 ish on afterburner. it responds pretty well. If you are good with ammo, you will do well with this ship. If you need energy weapons because you miss a lot, the Bucc will probably need some significant upgrades before you can use it effectively.

Can't wait to try it. Tomorrow methinks.

Afterburner is 710 I think
Any idea what the 350R/Herald AB speed is in the PTU at the moment? I rented a Sabre in 2.6 and the difference between the top speed of that ship and my 350R was so small as to be insignificant...

I'd just guess then that one of the optimal loadouts would be Bulldogs on the wingtips, Mantiseseses on the inner wings, and that big ol' Revenant on the top S4 hardpoint.

Aye? Nay?
