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.

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?

I knew it........Just after I bought and engineered "Unfinished Business" they bring out a new ship.....Bleh.....
Moment I saw it was available......
I knew you'd have one......
