Oh great. Now I get to sit all weekend and desperately try to not spend more money...
Friday, 15th of April: PAX East Sale (fighter sale i.e. Super Hornet) + free flight week until 25th
- Thread starter AstroSam
- Start date
I reaaally thought about buying options. But after some reading I'll decided to stay with the Avenger. The Super Hornet is said to cost way of 200 $, therefore no-go for me. I was struggling with myself about buying the Gladiator a time before. But finally I decided that it is not my kind of ship.
Super Hornet was $165 I think. Quite a bit more than a regular Avenger though.
I MAY get one and wait til they have a heavier fighter to switch to. I'm wanting a beast of a fighter and right now that's the SH, but it's only a Medium Fighter. Can't wait to see the Heavies.

You have to keep in mind that the Avenger is a independant fighter with a bed, thus which is able to travel through the Verse. Which means: when you go offline and lateron get back into SC, you'll awake where you've left.
Not so the Hornet: she's a 100% pure fighter which is in need of a base like a carrier or else with no capability to combine fighting and exploring. Means: wherever you go off, you'll awake at your homebase (which you are in essential need of if you don't want to awake in your hangar constantly).

Good point.
Logout and relog anywhere in space.
We also have to consider fuel though.

Time to play around in a Super Hornet to compare to a Sabre.
179 EUR; quite much in my opinion.
Sabre and S Hornet compared I would say that the Hornet is more like a tank, tough weapons and armour, but also slow, short ranged and sluggish like a wale. The Sabre has lighter armor and less weapons (no unmanned turret), but has (way off) higher top speed and is more agile.
@ topic: I'm disappointed. Barely interesting ships in the sale. No Warden, Freelancer MIS, even no F7A Military Hornet! No Vanguard Sentinel, no Sabre, no Talli and no Alien ship. Well, saved a lot o' money at least ;)
Yeh I am really disappoint that there's only a couple of ships on the sale and on the test fly.
I will have to wait!
I will have to wait!

Like we say in the United States, Canadians are just (mostly) unarmed North Americans with healthcare. Hopefully the healthcare part will apply to Americans in the next few years because kids' medical needs are *expensive*.
Ah, nothing like the rants of frustrated American citizens. Land of the financial 1% and home of the suckers they take advantage of.
edit: We get a really big f-ing military for our money... and a small-ish space program by comparison. I wish it was the other way around.
I like ship sales.
