The boxes flopping around in the center cavity made me lol...

glad to see you back!

Great to see you back! Went to your channel a couple weeks ago just in case the old youtube algorythm had me missing your stuff. All is forgiven with the stellar opening music. I bought the thing...well upgraded for 5 bucks from a Sabre. I don't know man.....FOMO. I know I would wish I had the upgraded version if I missed out. By the way MKI version acceleration is a confirmed bug that they literally said they have ignored to concentrate on bigger fish. It will be going away very soon. Great video.

another great video. thanks!

Glad to see you back! Not soon enough... I FOMO'd in before watching your video D: Though, one of the biggest selling points is the fact that this ship is freaking beautiful. At least if you do not attach mk1 nose turret. And the mk2 nose turret looks much better on f7a, not at all impending the looks, so I'm committed to finishing all the missions to get it.

LMAO you killed me with these roles!

Yay! You're back!

The acceleration of the Mk 1 is a bug and that was confirmed by Yogi on a recent Space Tomato podcast. It isn't supposed to be able to pull the 28 g's it currently does but CIG just hasn't got around to do anything about it. Not yet but he pretty much said they will at some point. .. My guess is that when things get settled the Mk2 will end up pulling a few more g's than the old timer.

appreciate the breakdown of the whole mk1 and mk2 thing. was pretty confused. lol

Several years ago they stated We were supposed to get f7a and f8c rep tokens that would allow us to in game buy them via sq42 campaigns. Since they are allegedly feature complete on PU Blocker 42, it’s a last year cash run on ppl that will buy, imo. Since the Behring new AR has been done for a few years but not added more than a prop occasionally, it might be a campaign thing too. Cig isn’t going to miss getting tendies due to lti fears, and how they haven’t stated how lti will work on the end.

So in previous patches i was a "Murder Hornet" fanatic(stealing the MK1 F7A Turrets off the ones that used to spawn in game and putting them on an F7C). And recently, i got my hands on a mk2 ball turret before the release of the mk2. When they added the mk2, they categorized the ball turrets so the mk2 A turret no longer fits on the mk1. They unequipped them from all the hornets that had them equipped, but i lucked out ajd managed to keep a few extra ball turrets in my inventory. So my Mk2 has 2S4 on wings, 2S3 on the ball, and 2S2 on the nose turret(from the F7A MK1). I've been tweaking my loadout and trying different things but i really enjoy the ship. Although Zero is absolutely right when it comes to the current build. Its just not really necessary atm. It doesnt fill a specific role and there's plenty of perfectly good in-game options for medium fighters. I wouldnt reccomend it to anyone in the current build. I believe it may shine when master modes arrives, but theres no way of knowing till we get there

the mkII flies well in atmo if you fly it like a modern day jet. if you fly it like an AH it will do weird things and flip around

I bought the cheapest CCU for the F7C Mk II I could find (from the Khartu-Al in my case) with store credit. And I intend to get the F7A Mk II from the event. Whether I'll apply that or not depends on 3.23. Once I have both, and have some experience with 3.23, I'll decide whether or not to use them.

Good points.... I can see changes coming with 3.23 to make it more fun to fly in atmo (or other ships equally awkward), and the Inferno take the lead in the role of destroyer again. I had the ship but melted it again, it sounds great, looks great and the weapon hardpoints allow for some fun builds, but with its typical carrier-based fighter limitations and the atmo issues it's just too much of a headache, at least for now.

The guy that won the F7A actually owns the MK2 version not the Mk1. I've been lucky to fly it in prior patches.

Best SC combat content creator period, just wait, when this game gets global traction, your channel will explode.

Ooof that thing reminds me of a vanguard the way you have to be cautious on your turns in atmo. And it's hilarious how much the Mark 1 ball turret is clearly oversized for the slot.

*Nice video, do you prefer Laser repeater or cannons?* *I love the Arrow and would like to know what the best weapon is for bouty hunter/pvp*

that turret really needed to mount the gun on the front, and not have it stick out like a massive dong. The ship itself looks great, but the turret feels like they plastered it on.

I like the looks of the Mark 2 a lot. I also like how it fly's. I do think the price is a little bloated when compared the Mark 1. Over all it feels nice in the current flight model and I think it will end up being a nice ship for doing all the early bounty's up to HRTs once Master modes comes out. It is also a good size and should fit on a number of ships like the liberator later down the line.

Im off to uni and worried that i cant get to my house in time to get to play the event missions, i didnt see any post or info that said they were doable off their week, but you say so in the video, where is the info coming from? Also im glad ur back and hoping to see ur content in the next flight model update

yeah, i'll sit on that token until last minute and then upgrade some lti token to the f7cmk2 and make it the f7a

F7c mk2 comes standard with a 2 SCU cargo pod. Once u replace it with a turret you can not put it back in since it does not appear in VLM. This is bugged for all Hornet with their bespoke components since...3.17?!. U can still see it in your inventory under 'other' as a place holder. You are also not able to take it out of your Hornet with a multi tool. Anyway the cargo pod is a top loader with an elevator and awkward to use. At this time, if you still have the old miles eckhard mk2 upgrades on any other Hornet u can put them on your mk2 in the vlm. adding a center turret with multi tool is no longer possible, so from miles eckhard u can only take the nose turret (only found the A mk1 version recently).

Congrats on bringing life into this world! Wish we could take our own families and fly to another planet 😪

Ok but what if I already have the F7C-m Super Hornet and I hate how it looks. Is the F7A mk2 better?

No! Buy or buy not, there is no try!

Hey, quick comment - your Avenger Titan links to Erkul in your spreadsheet don't work :(

I ended up putting the series11 Broadsword Ballistic Cannon on the nose, Piggy backed the Deadbolt IV on top, Left the Rhinos on the wings, And Sporting the Iron Scale skin. This is the Set up i Like, It Pounds, and ammo for days ..... Look super cool as well. I m coming from a position where this is my only fighter at the moment, but have tried the others . So why is this one the fighter i chose to get ? I don't like the visibility of the other hornets . I don't have much use for a light fighter. Although i love the cock pit of the Aries , one big gun just don't have the versatility i want . I don't like the style of the Scorpion. I do have a F8C Lightning in my buy backs, witch i do like, and is slightly better , but only slightly, I find the 2 are closely matched but prefer the smaller size of the F7C MK2, as I believe its meant to be a carrier based fighter, and will fit in ship hangers better. This will be a fantastic support fighter to carry along in the Odyssey for a lil bit extra kit . I also love the idea that after the upgrade token for the F7A MK2, we might have a ship that is not available to the general public after 1.0 and i can feel special about being a long time supporter by having a special ship in the hanger. there are some things that i don't like . Only 2 MFD"s- But i think this is planned that way , I'm hoping CIG is working on having some holographic displays on helmet visor, or the canopy . and the other stuff i think will be worked out, like using cycle config independent of the gear , the fact that it nose dives in hard G turns in atmo. So there's my thoughts . If you have other fighters maybe don't buy, but I'm happy with my purchase. thanks for the video WingZero . ( o7 ).

Does the cockpit seem any more “modern” than the other hornets?? I remember them looking really old school (also I don’t like too many MFDs over my head)

First. I scooped a war bond Hornet a couple days ago, NGL not liking the way the turret protrudes from the top. I feel that will subject it to more damage.

A no. Check. I got a wildfire anyway. And a Ghost and Tracker. And as they they say.... You can only fly one jet at a time.

I have a 300i and was looking to upgrade it to a fighter ship. The upgrade to the F7C Hornet Mk II is US$126.50. Do people think that is a sensible thing to do?

Thumbs up just for the reference The cannon on top of the ship looks utterly ridiculous

My thoughts exactly. I wish for you to receive 1 billion 'likes'.

If there's no Ghost variant I'm not interested!

All of the builds in your google sheet are broken, not sure if its an erkul problem

Less Ships more game !!!!!

a faster, tougher ship with more fuel and weapons... but smaller ... which make me question the physic of the world ...again; it look like a buffed version just for game mechanics/balance purpose due to it's outdated original... I don'T think any fighter are worth considering to be bought until we see the master mode, I've melted or upgraded all my fighter for more utility 2 or 3-man ships, and don'T see any reason to buy that one... but it just make the old model more underpowered and prove now that there's no reason to buy those ships... since they gonna make mark2 version to render old ones obselete and keep the ships market open.... for "new" mark version even after release... so eventually all the ship we have gonna be outdated combatwise... so take functional ones that suit your need instead as starter ships... I can already see them bringing mark II for... Constellations Freelancers Reliants Gladiator Aurora Nomad and Mustang AND since the Luxury brands are usually for actuality trend and glamour... why not make annual Mark edition for the 100a,300a and 85x

lag pip. nice.

Just fly it like a plane and it is really good again in atmo 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well its all about the LTI fomo mate, nothing else 😂

I bought it so I am in the “fuck you all plebs” club

I will pass on this one.. not only because my wife will kill me. I will stay with my f8

As to your child becoming a bio-weapon. I would say now you know why a lot of families are going for home-schooling. Except, that's what my brother and his wife do along with many families in his area. But they don't want the kids to loose out on socialization. So they have get-together events once or twice a week. Which means... Yeah. Three times so far this winter. On the whether to buy. To me, it's a no-brainer. Ships are always going to be cheapest when they are first released. They released this knowing it had bugs. So they set the price point low to get people to buy it and not feel cheated. Once all the balancing is done and the bugs worked out, I would not be surprised to see this jump to the $200 price point. Add to that a bit of "let's be honest". For those of us who spend any real money building a fleet, a lot of these smaller ships are more like a weird "lay-away" plan on much larger ships that we want. I.e. bought with the intent of enjoying it for a bit then melting it. Keep in mind, this comes with an LTI.

bioweapon lol

NOT...until i get my Super Hornet F7C-M to a Super Hornet F7C-M mk2. I have no interest in the F7C mk2 or the F7A mk2, i just want a sleeker look on my Super Hornet...and the option to replace the abortion of a chin turret on the mk1 to the MUCH slimmer mk2 chin turret.

not.
