1.2 Beta Incoming

Slap 2 Class 3 Beam lasers on it and combine that with it's maneuverability. ... Needs a higher cap for heat and weapon usage.

The correct term is "Melt!", is it? On both sides, your enemy and your power plant ...

It does require some fiddling with PIPs but with some good power management, it works pretty well. Definitely overheats otherwise.

Ok been flying around in the Vulture a bit more.......

Very manoeuvrable.....Nothing has taken me down yet.....Took out 2 cobras and an eagle in an USS......

But this is maxed out......

Seems to be a bit under powered though......Cargo space is limited...Not sure what this ship is aimed at....

I have done a bit of exploring tonight....

First time for everything......

And I do love beta's

Think I'll sell this now and try an FDL........

Yep, I just went from an FDL to a Vulture. I have to say I like both ships. The FDL feels like the sort of ship I could have as my standard 'go-to' general purpose ship that has teeth (well, one huge tooth).
The Vulture was great fun at a Nav point. I took on two wings of Sidewinders and managed to defeat them all, although ended with 38% hull and two minutes of oxygen left by the time I docked. The vulture will be great fun for those that like RES and NAV points. As you say Kharma, you have to make a trade-off on modules to be able to stay within A class power limit, but it can still be pretty well specked.

I stopped to take an external shot of all the damage and was disappointed to find that it didn't show on the debug camera view, which clearly showed a complete canopy. Shame.

I'll just side-step over here, from the other thread.

Nav and RES bounty hunting was what I was thinking the Vulture would be best for. At least for me, with my play preferences. Might it be a beast in conflict zones and what not? Couldn't say. I really should toe into those, some day.
