We will try to do it all, I think I booked for 2hours but will probably push to 3 or longer depending on how the servers are doing

A couple days ago I helped in testing airdropping a tonk from a Herc.
We were one Arial, I was flying around 35 m/s at around 100 m AGL, there were no damages and the passengers were uninjured.
However, reloading the tonks became problematic; they kept randomly exploding inside the Herc, eventually leading to client crashes, so we were unable to continue testing on Hurston.

This has been already reported to the Issue Council. Hopefully it would be fixed before 3.13.1 goes live.

Bring some big ships besides the Hercules too. Like Carracks and Hammerheads. Try out the Tonk’s main gun on them.

Dammit. Forgot to take screenshots or videos of my Carrack being taken out by a tonk.

Takes like 20 shots on the same shield facing to destroy one btw (on the ground, static, shields at full but not overclocked)

I came across this while wishing I had time to join in on the testing.

AKA can the Tonk go: "hold my beer", and actually do it?
