Yeah, not sure myself although i dont have access to one currently. I'll be CCU hopping my way to one, but waiting on the Sabre as a stepping stone first, ending up with an Orion when it becomes worthwhile to do so, until then i'll use and abuse the CCUs to put credits on stuff that i can enjoy.
Does anyone here have a Sabre, or is following it somewhat? Its got 4 guns, and they're all inside housing, yet the wing ones are supposedly on gimbals. Im wondering if its simply a very narrow range they have compared to a traditional nose gimbal or turret, making it better than fixed, but not by much... or is there something else going on?
Also, a few days ago i stumbled upon a 3D ship viewing tool, its basically exported holoviewer models which are transferred across into a UE engine viewer. You can view all the ships in the same scene to get a good idea of the scale, or 1-by-1, you have 6-axis movement etc and its really lightweight.

Its obviously only as accurate as the holoviewer is, but i found it enjoyable to have a decent look at many of the models in a setting which works better than the holoviewer, and lets you flick between them quickly too. I got about 1h out of it, then send it to a mate and he loaded it up and we used teamviewer to talk about what was there, for about 45min, which was rather enjoyable cos any opportunity to talk about the ships is fun for me
It was enough to convince him to melt his Freelancer MAX, Cutlass, P52 & P72 and get the Carrack later down the road, so that i could get the Orion in the future instead of the Carrack, which means we'll have a Hull C, Carrack, Reclaimer, Orion & Starfarer between the 2 of us, and another friend has a SH, Avenger, 325 & Gladius, and the rest have Auroras mostly.

But yes the PU has improved somewhat
