A closer look at the all new Hornet F7A

[Montoya]

Definitely a big improvement over the original!

 

[DrunkenTeddy]

It looks amazing. I hear that the kit they sold to turn a F7C into a F7A was only a body kit and that it won't change the specs. I'm curious to find out if this is true. Either way, this ship looks awesome.

 

[Snakey]

Does this mean hornet f-7c re-skin?

 

[Phantomoftruth]

the F7C to F7A CCU was effectively an F7A skin. no change to states for the hornet applied to.

It's funny to see these skins selling for up to $70 on the grey market. If it really is just a skin, those people could have upgraded to a super hornet for less than that.

They were released for a Veteran's Day fundraiser. I can't remember who it was in conjuction with.

Still no beer item... What the fuck we should do now? No beer no fun..

 

[Phantomoftruth]

I look forward to SQ42 flying the F7A and F8.

If we all chip in, maybe we can buy the navy and fly those beauties anytime we want!

I also heard that it increased armor and decreased speed, but.... if it only changes the skin....no regrets
:D

The Civilian Hornet is supposed to have available a F7A upgrade kit for purchase that will not only add more mass due to an armor upgrade, but is also supposed to have its thrusters slightly repositioned.

In looking at point #4 the extra armor mass is going to seriously hurt its maneuverability. If we were to look at the Block 90 concept it would be in changing out the main TR3 factory thruster of the F7A and F7C-M for a 2x TR2, and have the max thruster at 2x TR3s to help handle the extra armor mass the F7A upgrade kit is going to bring. The other part of the Block 90 upgrade would be in the avionics to help enhance maneuverability and in the placement of the maneuvering thrusters. So the Block upgrade would move the four forward TR2s and place them to the front around the nose of the Hornet to help improve maneuverability. It just makes perfect sense for a frontline fighter.

If it really is just a skin, those people could have upgraded to a super hornet for less than that.

It is emotional, luckily I got one cheaper. Since I joined way too late, I must get my stuff aftermarket.

Remember they said they're keeping the Mark 1 F7A around too I bet the body kit only changes to that.

Though I hope they do Mark 2 versions of all the F7 series

 

[Devil Doge]

holy fuck i am so hot and bothered by this you have no idea. the only thing i didnt like about the old hornet was that it looked like a brick. this changes things...

ima get one in pink and black

 

[Blind Owl]

So pretty. I was a Hornet hater. Then I started flying one of my loaners...
Now I think I may have to bite.
Yay.
More money out of my sons university fund. Haha.

University will take up too much of his video gaming time anyway. Get him an Aurora and point him at the nearest star. He'll be fine.

So I don't really understand, this will NOT be the updated model for the Hornets? There will be two in game?

 

[Wolf Lord Caldersson]

So we have mk1 hornets and the bodykit fices you mk2?


Also can we buy the f7a in the verse. I thought it was military exclusive and couldnonly be stolen or bought with reputation
