I can't wait to get my hands on this GORGEOUS beast! Bruv the sound alone ❤❤❤ If I push through I'll get the Token today (hopefully before the next patch hits).
I’m glad to see the first loadout here because that was the one I was going to use but wasn’t sure how the ballistics and lasers were going to do together but luckily it seems to be a good combination. Also idk if it’s just my headphones or what but the sound of the game is way loader then your audio and some parts I can barely hear you
My landing pad experience has been terrible, specifically in the Corsair. Arccorp mining outpost, space station pads, orison pads. Get stuck in phantom ships. "Sometimes" I can boost out other times I explode😢 if I am caught in a ghost ship I can not always re-arm but it is better.
Dude you are a monster of skill I know I'm noob on DF, but I'm on star citizen 11 years, I like BH, but I'm more the type of one hit kill eclipse sneaking guy, but I really like the idea of a hornet full power I've tried but without success the ships just shred me it's a skill issue, but to see you in action is just crazy THX for this video man it was very entertaining I've watched the hole video!
maybe you should make a F7A Hornet mk2 VS F8A Lightning. F8A Lightning got more guns and F7A Hornet mk2 got big guns so like to see difference between more guns vs big guns also wondering if it is best to have more guns in F7A Hornet mk2 then big guns
@@Astro_ManiThe game package/standalone ship package seems to be locked after you upgrade the F7C into the F7A. You can no longer melt it for store credit, or upgrade to another ship after using the token.
I can confirm, I noticed it the day I upgraded it. From what I heard, CIG had given advance notice of this although I myself never saw it so it is intentional. Support will not be able to return it to you if you decide to melt it either so you will lose the upgrade if you do.
An interesting showcse, just got my f7a so can't wait to take it out, i will leave a little constructive feedback, you need to increase your mic volume a touch, you have a soft voice and it was getting drowned out by the engines and boost at times. Otherwise good stuff :)
agreed, Voice was too quiet. Got my F7A last night and trying to determine bets weapons to use. the Revenant or the Omninsky XII. I have heard both as best to use. Going to test them both for myself and see
@@JP_813 you don't get a huge amount of shots with all cannons but you don't need it if you're accurate, it recharged quickly enough that I never found it to be a problem though
I'd love to see you review the Harbinger! However, can you turn game sounds down a bit so we can hear you without the ship constantly talking over your commentary?
can you link an erkul link to the builds or put them in a comment? Id greatly appreciate it so I can just take a glance at something and copy it over to my f7a! great video as always!!
Astro tell me pls, isnt it better to go to all Quarrelers to have the same PIP, then only one PIP instead of 2 due to differents weapons speeds ? for me OMNISKY's have better DPS than the Quarrelers, less HP but i dont think its important ... not sure.
Enjoyed the vid - I currently own a gladius but was thinking about upgrading to take on some harder missions to make some more cash. Hornet is looking like a solid choice, but any other recommendations? Flying solo or duo with a friend to learn combat for now.
@@Astro_Mani hah funny you say that I'm watching your Connie Taurus video about bounty hunting from 5 months ago. I was debating on that or the corsair for sure.
@@herbv3449 I use a Taurus most of the time, holds enough to make good money and 4 m7a's rip through any ship it throws at you. Sold 17scu of quantanium from vhrt bounties for a nice little 350k bonus so if you get lucky with large amounts of quant or illegal cargo you can definitely make some good money
Astro can you help up channel our concern both the top and nose turret hav about 100 hp, i feel like this has to be an oversight, because other turrets have 2k+ in hp . 😢 thats is my only complaint with the hornet, i know the atmosphere flight model fix will happen, but right now the turrets need attention.
@@Astro_Mani thank you, fine sir. I’ll do a search and give it a look. Presently rethinking all my binds at this very moment. It’s like when they rearrange the grocery store after you have memorized where everything is
This ship is one of the worst fighters in the game this patch, it's terrible in the atmosphere and the turret and chin mounts get destroyed so easily they are practically useless, especially against players who use ballistics. It needs a buff. The Buccs are so much better in this patch cuz at least it can control the engagement since it is so damn fast in scm. Great video though. On the flipside you can sell it for about 1000 USD currently LOL, Just my opinion and experience with it.
It is ehh for pvp yes. but you still have to respect its firepower. Plus in 1v1s it is kinda a monster, but any squad fights it does struggle. But that is only for people who know how to take advantage, the average player will lose to F7As all day
@@Astro_Mani Yes it definitely has its firepower but with my testing with my org almost every head to head fight some of the guns would stop working after the first few exchanges cuz they would get destroyed. really frustrating 😆
@clickbaker1 until the end of Invictus. There are 5 phases with a number of missions each. You have to complete them all in order to get the free upgrade. You don't need to have the F7C MK II in your hanger to get it. You'll still get the token. It's possible CIG will run this event again for those who couldn't do it.
Fundamentally, MM is good. There is so much balance yet to be done though. Weapons need a hard look. Top SCM speed needs to come up a little so that there is room for true differentiation between archetypes (light medium heavy etc). Hull HP needs a top to bottom pass and we need armor as it’s been promised. Until all those things happen, real balance will not be possible. As far as “unnecessary time sink..” For you, perhaps. For a good combat pilot, it isn’t. In regard to the “pirates and greifer” - space is dangerous. Until we have more systems with no, medium and high security… it is what it is. Learn to turn and fight, bring support or get creative with your trade routes, plan ahead.
Dude, if you wanna go to seraphim, quit whining; rent a C2 at crusader day today at ILW and use the inventory Move All button to move everything into the C2, then just take your stuff in a haul to the station, easy.
you can't load up ship parts with the c2 anymore because items are physical now. They're are just to big to even fit in the biggest 8Scu container you can buy. No more magical internal storage to move items like before 3.23
What ships do you want to see?
Cutty black!
I have the Avenger Titan Renegade. Upgraded years ago and I guess it's a limited edition thing? Not available anymore?
Constellation
@@SirBapkins I Think it’s just a different paint job, so same as the default Avenger.
Gladiator

The startup of this ship is insane
Great video! I'm excited to fly my F7A more as the game progresses and armour is implemented
Have a great day!

Always more guns. And good idea
I upgraded, my F7C Mark II not that I had plans to use it to upgrade any ships but it doesn't seem to come up as an option to upgrade from now.
What you mean?
@@Astro_Mani on the main website under account, ship upgrades, F7A doesn't show up as a potential ship to upgrade.

ya that was an oops, its not normally like that. I will be doing a run in every ship eventually
Why the quarreler? The specs are exactly the same as the omnisky IX which comes standard with the F7A. Or at leasr my F7A came with omnisky version.
lol exactly, they are the same weapon. Its just for looks man. but the quarreled do have more HP
@@Astro_Mani more HP means less likely to be destroyed?
@@harf4ng yep
Would love to see a t8c gladiator, not something you really see people using.
Hello where did. You Get your turret and your gun. Hope you do make that guide to turn off safe mode in game.
Guns can be found at new Babbage, almost every gun in game can be found there. The turrets are there by default. =)

Is there a keybind option to cycle the nav modes?
yes. for mouse and keyboard it's the middle mouse button.
@@Astro_Mani Yeah, I’m on a HOTAS. I have NAV/SCM bound to a throttle button but was curious about key binding cycling through the different NAV modes

You can create multiple characters I have 6 already 😅
Ya I have 4 =p
why omnisky and not m6a or m5a
The extra damage doesn't make up for the velocity. Omniskys simply miss less

How'd you get an F7A?
An in game event to earn a free F7A MKII upgrade. I received mine and applied it to my F7C MKII.

I like MM
Reduce the waffling.. 10 mins is loooong!
I agree. I had some announcements. There is always fast forwarding
What paint is that?
Ironclad I think? It's only available to concierge members
That attempt at a synchronized take off in the intro has to be so cringe
I respectfully hate master mode it unnecessary time sink and set you for pirates and greifer
I have the opposite feeling.
Pirates are the same as before. I think the mode will grow on people if they give it a chance
