The Stinger
- Thread starter Shadow Reaper
- Start date
Loaded for bear it does 4800+ burst. 3 coolers stop the Wrath from overheating. Silent running for missiles and ramming it skates by about 3k signature. Flies about the same as a Harby.
This is a beast for the pilots who know how to fly it. Compare to the F8.

It's such a power hog in stock config, you have to choose shields, guns, or engines(or a weak mix of all).
Slow yaw/pitch/roll rates, if you have max pips in engines it helps a little, but it's outclassed by every other heavy fighter.
Top SCM speed is tied with the F8 for slowest, but it can take some hits, so makes up for it.
Once you lose wings, you enter the death spin and kiss your vanduul mask wearing behind goodbye.
Despite all the lows I just love this beast though, my god, it has a heartbeat when powered on. The sound effects it makes are just beastial and it's fun to fly!

Well, good news for all Stinger owners.
CIG took pitty on them and boosted Pitch / Yaw / Roll / Boost by 10-15%
Now it's almost as nimble as a F8C Lightning!
And it's got a fraction more pitch than an otherwise just as agile Freelancer MAX!

Not exactly.
A Stinger with a Hermea Drive amounts to a range of 122.
Most other ships with that same S2 drive manage to get to a range of 163.
It's like one of those newer SUVs. All that weight and bulk fucks up your gas consumption.
Yeh the S4 machine guns on my SUV did reduce the MPG for sure.
You can conserve that ammo.
Most of the more expensive SUVs top 3 tons easily. Especially the electric ones. If they hit an average gas-fueled car they probably only experience a slight loss of acceleration and some crunching sounds.
Us tiny car riders, we do need our RPGs though. And enough ammo.
Soo many SUVs out there...
