Still? Really? I have heard your comments in game about it Kharma, and when we are in a Battle situation you seem to think it ain't that great. I am surprised you are still in it at this point considering your love for the Asp.

It shows that even a Grumpy Old Fart like you has a little bit of an open mind.

That, Or your Grumpy Old Man Senility is settling in and you forget what you said the session before, or where your Asp is parked. :P

I'm giving it more of a go than I should really because I was a bit harsh on the MKIII....I want to spend some time with it...So I can say at least I gave it a chance.....Rather than just dismissing it after a brief try.....

To me it is not as good in a battle situation as my Asp.......But then I have been in the Asp so long I know it inside out.....

One thing that is beginning to grind a bit is the view from the cockpit......Especially when POI hunting and in combat......

And me grumpy.......Never......

Not picked mine up yet but reading around, it isn't that great. I will deffo get it at some point though, as I like to try every ship and give them a fair chance.

I found mine to be a fairly useful landing craft:
- excellent jump range for a Viper ^_^
- space for 2 SRVs plus cargo and the usual exploring stuff (adv scanner, decent scoop etc)
- easy to land and good firepower against the occasional ground target
No probs flying it to Merope 5C and back from the bubble, although for longer range expeditions I would use the ExploriConda ;)
