I guess today we will have a hard time passing the mail slot.

I hope Frontier fires that designer that makes ship look like cheapo tuning cars. With that huge ugly spoiler the only thing it misses is a massive stereo in the cockpit to boomblast your ears while bumping the mailslot.
I honestly thought the spoiler was a ship kit, for how ugly it looked. I wonder if one day they'll come up with an explanation for it. A brick in space does not fly better with that contraption...

Oh well..

I love it for the exact reasons you hate it. :D

yuck lol
Maybe they will introduce ship kits that allow to remove parts of ships as well as add others ^^'

But at least this spoiler is not nearly as ugly as the one for python and corvette :) (these really look like an old Ford Escort from the projects)

Any reports on jump range yet with engineered FSD? :)

Popped mine into the local HAZ res, just basic fitting, mostly taken from my T9, so A rated dirty thrusters 3 etc.

Put pulses on the smaller hardpoints and multicannons on the large.
Capable of chewing up quite a bit.

Significantly better manouverabillity in regular space, possibly on par with cutter but less drifty.
Like the t9, excellent thruster response.
Unlike the t9, you can fit a class 8 power plant, so if you got that class 8 prismatic shields feel free.
PDS should honestly have been a 7, this will not become a laser boat.
Cockpit is identical to the t9, not a huge surprise.

It could have also benefited greatly from a larger FSD.

Haven't seen any on engineered.

And don't knock the Escort, ok? ;)

Moment I saw it was available......

I knew you'd have one......
