I'm trying really hard not to buy this one. However it fits my style for dog fighting, which is get a bigger hammer. I like my SH but in PU you really need someone in the turret.

How fast do we think they might turn this around to get it into the verse? I'm really thinking about melting my SH. I could melt my SH and Mustang Gama and get two of these. I could then just use REC for a gama to race in and REC for a SH until this thing comes out.
Pretty sure CIG said that all ships after the Endeavor will not be out til after SC comes out. Could be wrong, but am pretty sure. Otherwise it would keep shoving the game back further whenever they had a cool ship idea.

So is the Endeavor the last one in or the first one out? [MODERATE CONCERN]

Decided to not do a Ship Talk on this one. They barely wrote anything about it beyond it is a fast maneuverable ship with a BFG for a fighter its size. Not very exciting.

But with that said, it does seem to be a neat little ship if you don't have another fighter. I'm not getting one though.

The way I understood it, it will not be used in ep1 of squadron 42 but the 2nd episode. So I dont think this ship will be out for a while. That being said I did upgrade a base hornet to BUC... just to see what happens when/if anything cool about it is said during the QA.. but it might turn around and be ccu fodder right away.

I CCU'd my 325a.
I've tested the 325a and it is available anytime, anyway. Not a *bad* ship, but not my cuppa.
I will probably end up keeping the Buck, not because I need another fighter, but because I am (behind my very seriously legitimate and tax-paying ship modding Crucible business) a smuggler at heart. And this sounds like it will get some special loving from the smuggler gods :-)
So I'll be testing the hell out of that.
I don't think it'll replace my Titan Miss Direction, but it might be just what I want for quick little runs... or cover for a bigger operation.

It wasn't in my plan, but it's got potential, so I'll fit it in somewhere :-)

Straight into everything? are you sure about that? maybe you should think a little bit about it before....
Nope. ;)
He is a Blinded Owl, forgive his mistaking a Buccaneer for the glory of Aurora
With my flying finesse, all ships shall ram and explode with equal vigour and intensity.

The only thing holding me back is the piracy theme. I understand this is supposed to be a heavily themed pirate ship (That style of game play does not interest me) but I would hate to miss out on a great fighter just because my beard isn't long enough and have no eye patch.
I'm with you. I picked one up despite the theme, mainly because I'm liking the idea of marketing the drake line as mining and industry/utilitarian. I think it'd be a great mining escort.
Short and girthy, just how I like them.
Obligatory, "That's what she said."

Hmmmmm, a thought: Being as ugly beautiful as this ship is, what do y'all reckon you'd name her?
