Weeder76 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Is the Hornet worth the Cash to buy it ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Core Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 If your pledge is indeed Completionist, shouldn't you already have one? Or well in the case of Completionist: 3? Rakos, Exte, Wu Jen and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyu Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Depends. Do you want to mostly pew pew instead of trade? Your tag is trading and industry so while the Hornet can carry a few units of cargo, it aint much. Its a solid choice for dogfighting no doubt, but its intended role might not be what your looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booster Terrik Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Maybe we should have some kind of penalty system in place for those peeps that lie about their pledge ....... ;-) Syrius, Darius Marx and Mal Caindenite 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booster Terrik Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I think we should just keel-haul them from the left airlock of Core's Idris to the right airlock without a spacesuit. If they survive they get some hot chocolate if not ...... Too bad ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KronosVII Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Absolutely! I melted down my M50 in order to get my Tracker and had the Super Hornet been available at that time I would have opted for it instead. They take a lot of punishment and can dish it out as well as they can take it in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farcaster Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I'm a Hornet collector, with one of each, except for my 3 Super Hornets. They are the ship you take to kick ass in a dogfight in the PU. With great firepower comes great insurance rates. Darius Marx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrius Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 ...With great firepower comes great insurance rates. @Farcaster Or lesser worries with LTI, just gotta pay for those EXPENSIVE blasters, CPUs, Thruster etc... T_T ...my Tracker and had the Super Hornet been available at that time I would have opted for it instead. @KronosVII Did you end up picking up the F7C-R Hornet to F7C-M S.Hornet upgrade at the recent sale?

KronosVII Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Actually through a number of CCU purchases including this most recent sale I was able to get the Super Hornet w/LTI and fully outfitted it with the Mantis Chain Guns. I also did some other CCU's which have now parked a brand new shiny Cutlass Blue w/LTI as well In fact I hit that sale so hard a brand new BMM also fell from the sky and landed in my hanger LOL!

Farcaster Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I have an LTI F7C-M from 2013 and two recently pledged-for, two-year-insured Super Hornets from when I melted my 890 Jump. Plus a Tracker and a pair of Ghosts. I'm set for Hornets, and I have enough packages to fill a flight of them. CIG demoed a 4-ship flight of Hornets over a year ago, that's what I want to fly with.

Inkarnus Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 shh but i still think a flight of 3 hornets 1 gladis is far more reliable especialy in ewar and swacs with the gladi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.B.H I would of preferred to of kept the 890J with LTI, although I guess if you get the money before launch you can always get it back easily enough. I melted my 2nd 890J and 6 Heralds plus a couple of CCU's to get my Idris-P. Once I have a couple of dollars to rub together I'll probably get my Heralds back and await the Herald CCU's to Hornet. With the last sale I've bought enough CCU's to make an army of F7C-M S.Hornets (14 in total) I ended up getting a Weekend Warrior so no need for the 15th CCU upgrade, I'm set for all the game modes with the Alpha access.

KronosVII Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Actually I was responding to Trade & Industries question directed at me. For the record though I have the following: 890 Jump Reclaimer Retaliator Redeemer Caterpillar Freelancer MIS Freelancer MAX 2 Starfarers Banu Merchantman Cutlass Black Cutlass Red Cutlass Blue Hornet Ghost Hornet Tracker Super Hornet Mustang Omega M50 I'd say I was set until the Bulldog's and the Hull D come out.

Irres Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 If you are looking for monetary value no one can tell you if the Hornet is worth it to you. I myself prefer to pay for bigger ships and earn the smaller ones in game. I really think the bigger ships will provide more opportunity to earn UEC quicker, but will have higher upkeep also. That said, I Have 2 Super Hornets at the moment, and a Hornet Ghost, and will probably add a tracker when the next long insurance opportunity comes up. I also will add a Vanguard. Then I have to figure out how to clone myself. (great ship) CODENAME: レイブン 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand $180 USD for the Cupcake, it's the latest and greatest of the UEE Military. I have one, but I love my GLADIUS.......

LloydM Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yes I have to agree. Hornet is nice, but Gladius is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farcaster Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I picked up a Gladius just for the looks of it. It's far too lightly armed to do much damage, but it's a fun little fighter for goofing around in. The Hornet is the beast of fighters, particularly the Super hornet. Tough as nails and more firepower than anything in its weight class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
