I know it doesn't help our want for self-gratification right now, but the option to buy this loadout will be available in game (heck, it's available now as I described in an earlier post). AND as a note, what we have now in game is NOT final, which means this "Heartseaker" loadout may not be optimal in the future.

So, thought I'd try out the configuration of the Heartseeker on my current F7C-M.. I'll admit it took a bit of flying other jobs to get enough money to buy 3 M5's (pulled an M6 off my Connie and I still have a Flash mount in my hangar). That in itself is almost worth the variant so I don't have to gather the credits to buy the guns. However, I put it altogether, went and ran some bounty hunter jobs--find and destroy. The weapon combo of 3x M5's and 1x M6 does great, kills fast, and a lot of damage, but holy smokes does it fire SLOW!!! In the end, I still think I'm going to stay to my stock F7C-M. The stock configuration comes with not only the ball turret but the canard turret too all loaded with faster firing weapons. I'd lose those if I applied a Heartseeker variant CCU. I also really liked the faster-firing weapons for my preferred play-style. If I ever want the 4 slow firing lasers loadout again, I can always acquire them in-game.

Other than the weapon loadout and skin, the only other difference on the SuperHornets I see is the power plant: Regulas (S) on the standard F7C-M and Sunflare (S) on the Heartseeker F7C-M. I wonder what this difference really means--and in the long run probably not much when they can be interchanged. The Heartseaker F7C-M just seems like a gimmick to sell the SuperHornet at a higher price for not a very big variation.

These new shots kinda make me want to get a Carrack! It looks awesome.

I'd buy an Argo "Steve Ray Vaughn", so long as it never stops playing that music.

Been waiting to purchase a 34 or 35 widescreen monitor that supported G-Sync... This will hopefully make the list of available monitors bigger to choose from!

That's the hangar view inside the Bengal, right? 😂😂

Is there anyway to rent ships from previous day Expos? IE, can I rent an Anvil or Aegis ship that was shown already previously? I've been away from my home and gaming PC traveling for the holiday and am now back home. I would have loved to been able to try some of the previously displayed ships, but I can't seem to find a way to. Is this even an option?

Hard to tell what it is, but it sure doesn't look that big from that picture... The view appears like we're looking at it from the front and right side, so we see the front cockpit area (I'm assuming) and right wing. There's one large looking weapon up top which I'm guessing has a brother on the opposite side. I'm also assuming it will "fold out" kind of like the Aopoa Khartu-Al does. Guessing we'll find out more on Nov 28th.

...I wonder what the REDACTED section will be listed on the RSI 2948 Anniversary Special page between Nov 28-29th...

I believe the Origin 85X is considered a snub ship and also has a QT drive.

The Super Hornet was and is still my first "love ship"--and the first concept ship I ever pledged for (the Weekend Warrior package) when it first came out. I'm still holding out that one day the F7CM will get its dues and become the fighter ship it was always meant to be. I've been holding onto an F7A Hornet Upgrade too from the original sale on Veteran's Day.
