In the video, the host provides a detailed first look at the Anvil Hornet F7-S Ghost and F7-R Tracker, part of the latest PTU patch for Star Citizen. The host begins by introducing both variants, the F7-R Tracker, which is designed for reconnaissance, and the F7-S Ghost, which is focused on stealth capabilities. He expresses a preference for the Ghost variant and highlights some of the unique features of the Tracker, such as the lights inside the nose and potential reconnaissance capabilities. The host also notes the overall design and aesthetics of the ships, although he mentions a lack of excitement about the color scheme.
As the host transitions to the flight test of the F7-R Tracker, he comments on the ship’s interior and cockpit layout, noting the absence of a co-pilot seat. He runs through the ship’s performance metrics, including speed and G-forces during maneuvers, while experiencing some performance issues in the PTU. Throughout the test, he emphasizes the importance of flight characteristics over weapon loadouts, and he expresses curiosity about the functionality of the nose-mounted camera, speculating on its potential uses for reconnaissance.
After testing the Tracker, the host moves on to the F7-S Ghost, which he finds visually appealing with its black skin and red accents. He performs similar tests on this variant, comparing its speed and G-forces to the Tracker. He notes that both ships have similar SCM speeds, but he is particularly interested in their signature values, which affect stealth capabilities. The host discusses the importance of acceleration and maneuverability in combat scenarios, and he shares his thoughts on how the ships handle in various situations.
The video also delves into the customization options available for both variants. The host explains that components from the F7-A Mark I can be swapped onto the Tracker and Ghost, allowing players to tailor their ships to their preferences. He mentions the significance of stealth components in reducing the ships’ signatures, highlighting how the Ghost has a lower signature compared to the Tracker. The ability to interchange components is seen as a beneficial feature for players who own multiple Hornet variants.
Finally, the host concludes by discussing the implications of the signature values and component customization for gameplay. He emphasizes that the Ghost is the better choice for players focused on stealth, while the Tracker offers solid reconnaissance capabilities.
