RSI Hermes is out!

[Montoya]

RSI Hermes going for $200.

288SCU, pretty good mid sized, nice wide open cargo area.

Size comparison puts it as long as a connie.

Notes: all 4 S4 guns are pilot controllable. Only 2 of the 4 S2 shields can be active at a time. Poor SCM and rotations. Excellent storage. 4.4 sig gives good sneak for a ship this size. Best in class to deploy Dragonflies with rail guns.

Glad to see the bribes are bearing fruit :D

Except for the nice paint and a little more cargo space I see no reason to swich from a Conny. Especially not from a Taurus.
Same price, 4x S5 Guns and a (fully usable... na, na,na,naaaa-haaa!) shield at pretty much the same top-speed and maneuverability.
Some may say that having a flat shape let's you more easily "Millenium Falcon" through the asteroid field but in my experiece that never works as intended.
Chances are those Buccaneers and Gladiuses won't pop before you do.
I will give it a try (got enough store credits) but I'd be surprised if it sticks...

Give us your thoughts after you take her for a spin!

Shields are fixed in the 4.6 PTU. My Redeemer, Retaliator, Asgard and Super Hornet Mk II all take longer to recharge but all have all their shields counting to the pool.

So was this limit that only some shields will run at a time a feature, or a bug? I had heard CiG intended to limit ships with many shields to just two available at a time, and that is what erkul shows. When I saw just two working on the Hermes, I checked the Tally, and it likewise only registered two working.

So CIG made the change and then unmade it, and erkul has yet to catch up?
