Mercury Shape Change

If you open and closed the ramp really quickly while loading, it would look like it was sad binge eating.
If this is the new look then I have to say I kind of like it. They flattened it by removing the center engine and now the top turret can fire forward where previously it could only cover the backside.

Turret beneath is for wipe out weak local insurgency before landing, turret above is necessary for defence purposes once the ship has landed and provide some time to perform an emergency take off before the runaway.
It's a smuggler ship after all, isn't? It needs some projectable punch to clear the landing zone, and some AA protection covering the escape.
In space combat, both turrets can retaliate interceptors by backfiring towards the optimal interception approaching vector.

Cannot wait for this girl. All other ships are superfluous!
I'll join your wing with my Carrak.
Well then, it'll be a party!
Is that like code for something?
I'm curious, if you in your MSR fly just above the top of my C2 Hercules, will it be detectable as a 2nd ship on sensors that see me coming in? If not, I suggest we see if the piggyback formation helps with the smuggling efforts at some point.
Never hurts to try! And if they detect me, I'll just use your massive Hercules as a shield. Win win! Hahaha
Just to be safe, I'll probably be hauling a full load of waste material, so if the shred the bottom of the hull of my ship, their lives will also get a bit messed up by their own actions.
Agree... the concept feel like more... sporty??? It really feel like a faster ship then the evarage out there, like the whole ship is 1/2 engine just to leave the problem behind...
Now is just like they impound it and impose to the owner to strip the overchargerd engine and restore the stock one.... A pimp-my-ship done the wrong way...
If we were not in Test I'd say we have a chance of pulling this off...
If you want a ship that looks like it's mostly engine, then let me introduce you to the Drake Herald.
Then it's a good thing that I'm a "filthy affiliate" because I created my own org a long time before I learned about TEST Squadron to give people I know in person that play SC a safe place to call home Org wise because I've had bad experiences in past MMO's. So they'll scan me, see that I'm an Org leader of a small legal group, not notice him in my scanning wake & not bother looking for him.
That's what I thought, slightly bigger than a Cutlass. With as deep and wide as the cargo bay looked it was easy for me to imagine it was about that size. The MAX has 120, after all, and it's not Connie sized.
Don't you mean the fiery wreck as the test pilot forgets about piloting on his mission to grab a new beer from the cooler and accidentally collides with you?
