Hey look! It's an ambulance! Firetruck and Police car when?
Gotta complete the toy set now, no taking backsies CIG!

Regarding the medevac, considering the new respawn mechnics, I can see sooo many warcrimes in our future! Glorious!

Firebirb's the word!
Right until they nerf it after everyone bought one.

Would be great to see the Firebird in black with gold trim. As is it’s pretty fuggly.

However, Avenger_One is saying it flies as well as the Raven, and set up for stealth it has a signature under 4k, with missiles that reach out to 10k. If missiles did as much damage as they should, this would be an effective fighter. Maybe someday. 5k damage/S3 missile would fix this tragedy.

Fingers crossed a chairman's club skin comes out in just that colour scheme, have to wait and see though.

Yeah the value will be in the balance, can only hope the craft I've liked the look of over the years come out on top in the Meta or I've got a lot of work to do :-7

Wait... Is this a NEW ARGO TRACTOR?!

View attachment 25567
it seams so but I wonder: is this a necessity??
Argo MPUV, if I'm not mistaken, should already be able to detach the module in the back that is, actually, a specialized container. Is that function still a (theoretical) thing or has been removed?
So far the only difference I see compared to the two actual variant is the tractor beam in the back, not so much for an entire new variant...
It will eventually make sense in a wider prospective where the MPUV cargo/passanger will became bundle of this one plus the appropriate ARGO special "container" for cargo or people transport.

Missile boat bellydrum and rolly red nee-naw.
I wader why CIG has to modify so much the looks and the scope of the Raven: like the Mustang with the AMD special skin done in the past I would have expected just a different skin, eventually some minor detail (like the added vertical stabilizer) not and entire rework of the ship, even less the change of role, moving it from a stealth EMP platform to a small missile boat.
Not sure people will like it as much ad the Raven especially since the EMP pod are not available as a stand alone: having them to be mounted in any missile mount will open a tons of gameplay meta and new configuration for every ship...

I honestly like the look of the firebird just not sure how well it's going to last after it launches it's two salvos and is now out of missiles and needs to go back to an Idris to rearm.

Yeah and that's the reason I'm keeping my "Best Ship Winner" ARGO Cargo. We were told that the boxes will be swappable. But I'm very much starting to doubt the whole modularity thing, seems like CIG never wants to do it because it would mean less ship sales. I love the look of the new variant with the tractor beams, seems like a really useful little ship, but I'm not willing to pay for it. CIG is supposed to make a single "host" version out of the 3, not sell 3 variations for 3 times the price.

Nursa is pretty cool, especially with the new black livery (compatible with all Ursa variants).
And hey, med bed works, at least for now... I'm going to use it as long as it revives downed players...

But will it fit my Honda... C1?
Honestly I never thought to just buy an ursa and try, seems a bit too high for it though. Nursa seems like a good investment at this point if you have something to fit it into.

Such nice screenshots, love em!
