Now I don't know if I should keep my Super Hornet Heartseeker (love the nose art, and its the OG heavy hitter) or this (new and sexy).

We just sold a house recently in Australia, we did the listing paperwork on a Friday, and it sold sight unseen on Sunday to a cash buyer for more than double our original purchase price..
So anyway I bought a near new .Jpeg ............I meanWRX for cash last week.
Prob mostly solo, but as both are made for 2, I'd want to have an extra as much as I could when using either.
Sold sight unseen for cash, for double... yup sounds about right.
Congrats on the cool car!

The Hornet series is likely more maneuverable and at least as durable.
Now here comes the fun part. The turret in the Scorpius has been hinted that it requires a gunner. It certainly requires a gunner to properly use the turret to its full capability. If that is true the Hornet also has more firepower when flying solo.

I must now apparently purchase a flat brimmed snapback cap, and start vaping.
Exactly. And make choo choo noises.
Congrats on the car n house!
Meh, not blown away by this ship. Looks good, but that about it. If it had a small interior and or capacity for cargo/smuggling I'd be more into it.
Keep the Hornet, first and foremost it does have a unique paint art that is missing in the scorpion, second is a more flexible: you can use the full firepower even when soloing, and the variety of hardpoint and turret option alllow wider configuration (and I don't even count proper modularity...)

@NaffNaffBobFace , you incredible TESTie, I'm reading that Scorpius Q&A that you posted & I'm so loving most of the answers. Great catch & thanks for posting that.
The Stinger paint for the Scorpius is only being sold to Concierge members during this event. Thus its special paint will be more unique / limited.
I was in two minds about keeping it but the info on the turret being slaveable to the pilot at some point in the future with a computer Blade has tipped this into becoming a keeper.
Just bear in mind I bought ships 5+ years ago for that exact reason and.....well...yeh I am still waiting for the turrets to become saveable to the pilot.
It's like an abusive partner that promises they can change.....it will better...next time
Ooooh, yes I'm very aware of that too. I'm an Endeavour captain, that thing isn't scheduled to come out until after the game has been made.
Cool! The Q&A confirms the Scorpius' forward DPS potential with the Size 3 turret able to be 'slaved' to the pilot with an AI blade.

I gave up my Hurricanes for the Scorpius. Mostly for the appearance. The Hurricane is ugly as hell, a triangle with wheels haha.
The extra power plant is also a plus on a ship with lots of weapons.

We designed the landed state to make sure it fits the metrics for ‘extra small’ or Size 2 landing pads. This is in line with the majority of our other fighters and allows it to fit inside a Polaris.
YAY !!!
So this implicitly confirms Mantis CAN also fit in a Polaris, Scorpius being longer and wider when in landed configuration, well not for the height, so we'll see :)
Not only that but Polaris owners rejoice.

My new question pertaining to the Scorpius is, what will its loaner ship be?
