Mercury Cult - Now on Live! Go Fly!

[Firebrand]

gotta disagree, in my experience, the Greycat Buggy has been one of the most useful and reliable vehicles, ha ha

Well, I did find it useful once when at a trading post and my Cutty ramp wouldn't open... so I whipped out the Buggy, jumped on the roof and climbed into my ship from the side door, haha!

However, I am gonna melt the Buggy down for a fancy paint job on one of my better ships when one pops up that I fancy.

Don't worry Hybus, I will post some pics when I have a chance...but Delph wants to run shadowlands more today...

One other thing. The chess board works. You can move individual pieces and you and a friend can play chess with it

as you can see, it's a BIG ship. This is from my hangar, and as you can tell, it's missing weapons, engines, etc. This is definitely not freelancer sized, but closer to connie sized.

Apart from so many other things... I LOVE the flight stick! Looks like something from a supercar, lol

Yep, the whole cocpit area is really supercar-style...

Oh, btw, all the door have the new controls for locking them and disable the auto open sensor, there are light switch everyware, and the abitation has two, I say TWO bathroom... take that Drake

The playable chess board is just the cherry on the cake, lol... For anyone who RPs, just don't think about the possibility of Xenomorphs running around the smuggling tunnels

As much as I want to keep the Andromeda for nostalgic reasons I am finding it hard to justify not just getting a CCU.

 

[Firebrand]

Incase anyone was wondering, lol

Gentlemen we have arrived! MSR is out to Evocati but Wave 1 should get it very soon!

PRAISE MSR!

I do still plan to write a full review of the ship once its in my hands and I can take oodles of screenshots. :)

Something that is known though, 114 SCU of cargo space. Easily fits an URSA or a couple ROCs and a bike. :)

I was wondering why the price tag is 260 credits. I understand now, cargo space got increased and is now larger than a Connie.

Interior Album


Basics: 114 SCU of cargo space. Unsure if that's including the couple of SCU in the smuggling holds or if that's separate.

Guns: Pilot has a dual S3 remote turret. Dual manned turrets each with twin S3s.

Missiles: 3 S3 hardpoints.

Top speed: 1200 and change

The smuggler tunnels are nice, I like the interior a lot. Feels very clean and well lit. Looking forward to playing around with it, especially when info-running, hacking, and smuggling mechanics make it more than just another cargo hauler.

I am impressed. The high speed was known, but having 6 S3 guns instead of previous S2 and 1 plus missile size is a real boost to this ship. This was the weak point for me compared to the Connie, now it's closing the DPS gap a bit.
