TEST Squadron Ship Expo - Sunday May 10th 2:00pm EST / 6:00pm UTC

Start Location: Port Olisar
Destination: Daymar
What to Bring?: Your most rare or best looking ship!

An event for TEST members both old and new. Come view the exciting ships people have in their fleet. TEST drive them too if allowed. Bring the kids, tell a friend. Don't have friends? No problem because you have TEST! Bring your own food and drink, concessions will not be sold. Want to drive something else around? No problem because the Expo will be located at an outpost that can spawn vehicles.

Both :D

 

[Talonsbane]

Bring my most rare or best looking ship? Hmmm, I'll aim for both, but loading my Mustang Omega into my 890J will be tricky to do solo since leaving the 890 unattended might lead to all sorts of TESTified shenanigans for others. LoL

 

[BUTUZ]

Sounds fun!!

I'll bring my aurora!!

I'd like to test Arrow and Mustang, its common i guess but i would like to fly those ;)

Arrow is nimble, even more agile then the Gladius, but it only has 1 shield generator. The Mustang flies like a brick. It doesn't has the main thrusters. Make a 180 and you will be flying backwards for a while.
"Hey Marc, are you finally also flying backwards?" "Nope, I just made an 180 and trying to fly forward again"

Naah is not that bad... but you are too used ot the Gladius...

@vahadar
Mustangs are not a primary fighter ship, so yes, they are less agile of a dedicated fighter, but the rotating and turning speed are good, especially since Mustangs have fixed moanuvering trusters that make the ship very responsive.
The major drowback is they dirft a lot at hight speed (hight = over SCM speed....) and they are quite fragile: wings came off preatty easily, and engine are a big part of the ship so they came off easily, and when you loos one of the engine pod you are done since the ship became incontrollable (you loose a lot fo manuvering trusters with the engine).

@vahadar If you are looking for a dedicated fighter I'll sugget then the Arrow, if you just need a cool ship and can also attend some light combat (CS1-2 and some patrol mission) then the Mustang is a good choice.

If anyone needs a hand loading up some ships into another ship I can help out, just don't worry about why you can't QT away from Daymar though afterwards.....

 

[Phil]

Lmao, asking a bunch of people to get their ships and hang out around P.O. ?? Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, I cant wait to see all the crime stats!!! :P

Dr. Yukon Jack here,

I will be helping out since I'm the TEST Doctor, I will be present with my ambulance CutlasRed Doctor on call. See you all at the event.

[vahadar]

Probably need a salvaging ship to recycle all those floating corpses after, would be a waste to let those nice limbs and bodies floating in space when they can be turned into good old fertilizer after ;)

 

[LoicFarris]

I am going to make my best effort to be in full attendance... like every good husband, I forgot that today, 2020/05/10 is Mother's Day and so I'm smoking my meat answering my beloved Wife's every wish... with the exception of the one that involves a new Mercedes.

So if I'm late, or you only see me around for a short period of time, I do ask that you please forgive me!

 

[Black Sunder]

some screens!

ATTENDANCE

 

[Thalstan]

This was a really fun event.

 

[LoicFarris]

@Black Sunder Did a FANTASTIC job organizing this event! We had a MASSIVE turnout, with a group filling over half the server, we even crashed the first server! Here's a screen-shot of the first round!

 

[Black Sunder]

Overall this was a huge success.

 

[Lorddarthvik]

Glorious!

I wanted to pop in with my hella yella(ow) 300i to support our colors, but RL interfered. I hope you'll do this again soon!
note to self: get my damned friends list working so I can join you ingame!

 

[Flame_Surfer]
