Hornet MK II

[Blind Owl]

So with yesterdays ship shape revealing the F7A MK II, it begs the question: Will all the variants get a MK II upgrade? As they said, the want to keep the MK I as a collectors ship. So it will have to be an optional upgrade from the MK I, one would think. Perhaps a simple CCU.

Also,
Because I'm sick, I now want a hornet. And because I'm co-dependent and incapable of making my own decisions (without copious amounts of beer), you're all going to help me.

So which one do I want? For fighting ships I already have a Sabre, a Bucky and an Avenger. The Avenger will get the upgrade methinks. And as we all know, I will probably not keep it, as my indecision seems to drive my life. I'm looking at you Redeemer.

Dammit, I just hijacked my own thread.
This is fun.

Melt everything! Before it's too late!

I just voted that way because it was the shitpostiest (this must be a word).

I want the Ghost with the new Mk2 body.

Okay, now you get my view, it is looking... forward.... to the left..... to the right..... fine, I see all things I want to see!!!!
I move the stick... not that one!!! the Flightstick!!!! Right, my ship turns, fine, check.
I hit the throttle...whohooo, it moves, ooops, asteroid, full strafe and boost, a little bit turn and...yes!!! Missed that one!!!!
I pull the trigger...nice.... fireworks, I like to pull the trigger, allooooot of firework.
The point is (and please don't execute me): in the end the looks won't save your ass, the ships and your abilities will, maybe also the guy next to you who is trying his best to save your ass.

Still I got the F7A military Hornet upgrade :D

Where do you get this mythical F7A upgrade?

Looks I could care less about. It's about how it flys (in my hands). I have a loaner F7C. I slapped the two turrets on it, and played with multiple different loadouts. The thing is a beast. It may fit my play style better than the Sabre. But then, I haven't been playing much. If the F7C is that great, I can only imagine what the SH is like. Only problem is finding one now. Although Gamescon IS coming up, so there will be a sale I'm sure.

Get an Argo and RAM everyone.

Have I told you recently that I love your mind? ;)

what he just said....

So melt my whole fleet and go buy beer. Gotcha. Haha.

Stop tempting me dammit.

I got one on Reddit, but prices are high. The original was $20. The cheapest on Reddit is $70?

Nope. Haha.
I'll wait until the MK II hits the market.

Yeap, Wise Owl, that price is way too high ;)

go for the model with 20% more fuel capacity, fit the good parts from the others to it

There is also a difference in armor per Hornet. I don't know if the armor also can be replaced in PU.
[EDIT] HAH, making a nice table was a BIG fail :D fixed it, somehow

So for the signatures, a lower number is better. But for the armour, why does the SH have less than the other ships?

I think it's a multiplier. 0.65 = only 65% of regular weapon damage, 1= 100% damage.

Stop making sense! Right now. You're a TESTie dammit.

I'm not sure how Anvil will be able to unload the older models. Perhaps some truth in advertising is required?
