My shiny new vulture

Postby evovi » Fri Jan 08, 2016 2:18 am

Wow, what an amazing ship! I can't get over it's large weapons, the way it handles, it's acceleration - just everything!

First time flying tonight I cautiously entered a high res, takes on a viper - it's dead, confidence flowing I take on a python that's being attacked by 2 sidewinders - it's dead, this time I solo a python - popped a cell booster and obliterated it, this then progresses to two anacondas, trickier but still, I stand victorious! And thanks to shadowplay, I can gloat to myself :)

Love it! Absolutely love it, why would anyone want anything else :p

848000cr in less than 20 minutes ! - a record for me :)

Welcome to the club, and congrats it is an awesome little ship :D
Hardly anything will be good enough ever again....
What's even better than the vulture's acceleration (Augh, my spleene, I left my spleene back there).
Is it's deceleration (Augh, my eyes, I'm blind, they popped out of my head and now I'm blind)

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

Yup, it's pretty amazing, but just wait until you get your first canopy blown out. :o
But with an active SCB that probably won't happen to you. :)

Hmmm, I just noticed I never changed my signature ship from Vulture.
I wonder if that was my sub-conscience talking. Anyway, back in the Vulture until DWE.
It's time to give this another go.

Love the Vulture. It's good we love our Vultures because the next possible upgrade ships are a long stretch away in money, lol. We'll be flying them a long time. A lot of people say it's ugly but I really like the aesthetic of this ship. It looks like a very angry brick that might slap you upside the head all on its own initiative.
Aim to please; shoot to kill.

Congrats on acquiring your shiny new warbird! It really is a fantastic little fighter. Much tougher than it lets on. Be warned that it has been known to lend its pilots delusions of grandeur with how short work it makes of everything it so much as looks at! :P

I have to agree, though more so with the interior than the exterior. The sleekness and sharp angles really fit its aggressive nature.

My Viper is a printing press for credits lol I use a pretty heavy armor tank with a bi-weave shield.

Shields are 441 with 2 shield boosters and Armor is 1,190 with with 3 hull reinforcement modules.

I use 2 large pulse lasers.

I sold my clipper last night and bought a vulture. Here's the load out.

I haven't taken it to combat yet though.
