So any reports on the size 4 gun that came with it? The bucc might not be the best ever but from the sounds it seems good for the price.
The Buc is a beast!
- Thread starter Montoya
- Start date
You mean the C-788 "Combine" Ballistic Cannon?
Those gatling guns look ridiculously awesome. I think all ballistic fixed load out would be optimal on the buc. Leaving the smaller power plant enough power to keep shields and engines maxed.
Great way to fly a Buccy!!!
Nice Montoya!!!!

How does it compare to the SH? About the same firepower, less shield and hull but more maneuverable? Why would you choose it over the Hornets given the Hornets can be outfitted with stealth and Tracker?
Hornet feels very slow and sluggish in comparison to the Buccaneer. Although, with my skill set, thats exactly what I need. The buccaneer tends to drift and zip around everwhere and is a wee bit too fast for my taste.

I put 2 mantises on mine. It looks scary indeed, the guns are half the size of the ship! It made the weps all ballistics which worked great against the AI pirates, but when I picked a fight with a real buc with all energy weps, I could only afford one mistake, and I made it, big time. I held him off for a good 5 minutes or so, then he chopped me up into sushi with a couple hits from those laser repeaters
That would be interesting if you can keep moving around to avoid getting hit.
Yeah. It's twitchy-ness caught me off guard at first. But with more seat time, We're getting to be good friends.

So it is like flying a light fighter, but with heavy weapons? Sounds fun but I would want strong reasons to let go of the stealth, tracking and range of a Ghost Tracker., and the pair of S4s on the Hornet ought to hit harder than the Buc. The BEHR ballistic cannons are beasts on paper, fast to target and have great range. I'm surprised we never hear about them.
I love my SH, it's really flexible as far as loadout and it can take a few hits. That being said, if I had to choose one, it's the Bucc for me. It's faster and more manoeuvrable which fits my style better. I used to prefer the Gladius because of the sheer speed of the thing until the flight model re-balance and this feels more like that used to only with a lot more pew pew.
Dammit. I still haven't gotten in game to fly her yet. Where is all my time going?!? I'm looking at you Toddler Owl. Haha.
It has a Messerschmitt Bf 109 canopy, took her out for a run :grin::grin::grin::grin:
