Am I the only one who thinks the new hurricane makes little sense from the spec? Slower than a hornet, less agile, less armour, less shield, but more firepower.

So a sitting duck with teeth in its break.. but unlikely to ever get a shot off against anyone competent. It's a space turret basically.

 

[FloppyPoppy]

Actually the hurricane fills a missing point for me. A glass cannon if you will.

Will be very useful in a fleet for sure.

Ps I've ordered one o.o

 

[Raumarik]

Glass cannon in a game where each death matters is not a superb idea

I think it's spec'd wrong on the info we've been given though, those engines cannot be correct surely!

 

[FloppyPoppy]

Nowhere does does it say it's slower or less agile than a Hornet.

If anything, they effort has gone into guns and thrusters alone (from the brochure)

Also, people keep struggling with understanding the new component system and keep bleating on about S1 shields, when they don't exist any more.

All fighters have small shields, just different numbers of them.
