300 bucks. Yeah, naa.
I can't see it being worth that much. Even with the 2x size 4 + 2x size 5, You'd get more with a Connie for much less money.

And that intro trailer.. 'female goth psychotic break power fantasy' isn't a luxury genre.
The interior looks like a disco morning after hangover.
When you spend ten minutes of a Live show defending 'change and evolution of brands' it might be a strong indicator that you know you've fucked something up.

How any of this relates to Origin I'm utter at a loss to connect.

I might throw some credit at one and spin it around for a bit, to give the ship itself a fair shake. But otherwise genuinely disappointed so far.

I like the visual of it but 300 is F8c money... And i already have ships which give more for quite a bit less, like the Vanguard Sentinel.

And yep, the Connie is probs a good comparison and if i'm toying with 300 for an M80 i'm sold on a Taurus for 200 :-/

That's just me though i'm sure there'll be lots of happy new owners out there :-)

Cool ship. But I admit to being a little surprised at $300. I know that CIG-of-yore thought they could position Origin as a premium brand, but to position its price above the other heavy fighters after years of Origin line up neglect seemed a little off to me. I still hit the buy button though.

Remember, cig once said that two player controlled S4, plus 4xs3 all being controlled by one person was overpowered in a fighter (Hurricane)

Now 2xS4 +2xS5 is fine

Looking on some video of it and style wise I'm in love: the style is beautiful and the amount of dynamics it has for weapons, missile and landing gear really is on another level compared to other ships.
That say, 300+ quid not even thinking about it, especially consider this still need to pass the nerf hammer... but to get in game is in the hell-yeah category, not as an heavy fighter but as a more aggressive Saber

Well, me for one I dropped 300 in store credits for the 10Y version. Fly it around a bit and then melt it after a day or two.
IF I should feel like missing it I'll get it back as an upgrade to a lifetime token.
It's a great interceptor by the way. But not too much of a dogfighter. Not to nimble, not too well armored. Firepower is impressive though.
Basically a heavy glass canon. Way better cockpit view then the Guardians though.

I initially hated the first teaser pics we had of it, thought it was hideous.

Now that it's out, and I've seen it more fully, it has really grown on me.

I picked one up, ran a couple box missions, did a couple of bounties, and really enjoyed it.

The internal lighting can be a bit over the top, and I honestly think it looks more Kruger than Origin.

It flies really well, and is fun to fight in. Damn, I like another Origin ship. M50, 315p, 400, and M80.
