******Official Star Citizen / Squadron 42 Thread******

Honestly underwhelmed by the Sabre and Xi'an scout, no idea why either!

Sabre is just too "seen that" and the specs on it seem off, suspect they'll tweak it like they did the Vanguard. Actually thinking about it I think it's the landing gear, doesn't suit the rest of the ship.
 
I'd wait before buying to see how the first wave of tweaks change it, the Vanguard changed quite a bit and of course we only have some of the mechanics in the game for ship weapons and damage.
 
I'm not sure where it's meant to sit in the fighter hierarchy but baring in mind it was allegedly the model rejected by the UEE in favour of the Lightning? I doubt it's meant to be that much better than a stock Hornet, just different.

At the moment I think it's meant to be Glaive > SH > Scythe > Hornet so I guess the Sabre would fit in on one side of the Scythe or the other, at least by intention of how rounded it's meant to be.
 
Nah it's just been the case for a while that newer ships are more expensive. Reliant, Avenger variants, P72 etc were all relatively cheap pledges.

Bottom line is you can just get them in-game, I know a couple in the org have Sabres, I still like the base hornet tbh and the 300 series.
 
I started a review of the 350R before getting sick as a dog last night, even did a couple of hours in VS as practice with it. I think it's a pretty slick racer - but it's way harder to control in a race than the likes of the M50, my times were really inconsistent with it.

It's actually pretty good fun in combat though, surprisingly so!
 

I dont' spam these everywhere as they're more for my own amusement and means I have something to refer to later when the ships all change dramatically lol

lol just noticed the thumbnail for that one is wrong.. so tempted to leave it.
 
My real name is in Elite: Dangerous, only know it is as someone in the same company (6000 employees) called me up asking if I played the game lol.

Unusual name so he was curious..

Well, after umming and ahhing a bit, I've CCud the 350R to a Superhornet (again) I keep melting it but I keep getting it back.

Fun as the 350R was, a single person fast ship with no cargo and very few guns is no use to me now or going forward.

So I now have-

BMM
Starfarer Gemini
Vanguard and BFUKS
Sabre
Superhornet
Mustang Beta.

I know I don't need all those, I want to see what they are proposing with the Polaris as to whether I melt half of them and buy that instead.

I reviewed the 350R this week (vid scheduled to go up next week), got to say I loved it in combat but thought it was pretty dire at racing, granted racing isn't my "thing" anyway however the M50 was at least fun.. We'll see what the rework of the 300 series does but I expect mostly it'll be loadout and cosmetics, not so much physics and handling profiles.

Nice set of ships you've got though :)
