In the video, the host addresses a viewer’s request to discuss the F7C Hornet Mark II and its nose turret issues. The viewer, Mr. Pink, expressed a desire for better weapon options for the ship, prompting the host to explore the recent updates in the 4.0.1 PTU patch. This patch introduced a significant feature: the availability of F7C Hornet Mark I nose turrets in shops, which the host aims to demonstrate in this video.
The host begins by locating the F7C Mark II nose turret at AR 18 Dumers Depot, where it is priced at 20,000 credits each. They purchase several turrets and additional gimbal mounts to test various loadouts. The video showcases the process of equipping these turrets on different Hornet models, particularly focusing on the F7C Hornet Mark I and Mark II, and how to manually transfer components between ships.
As the host demonstrates the attachment of the new turrets, they encounter some challenges, particularly with the manual attachment of the nose turret to the Hornet Mark I. Despite these difficulties, they successfully equip a size 5 ball turret from the F7A Hornet Mark II, showcasing the flexibility of weapon configurations available in the game. The host emphasizes the importance of using the MobiGlass interface to equip turrets, highlighting that players can do so without manually attaching them.
The video further explores the loadout options for the different Hornet variants, noting that the F7C Hornet Mark II can accommodate larger weapons compared to the Mark I. The host explains that players can equip a maximum of two size twos, two size threes, and two size fours on the Mark II, while the Mark I is limited to smaller weapon sizes. This information is crucial for players looking to optimize their ship’s combat capabilities.
In conclusion, the host stresses the importance of saving loadouts after customizing ships, as this ensures that players can recover their configurations after destruction. They provide a step-by-step guide on how to save and manage ship loadouts effectively. The video serves as both a tutorial and a response to community feedback, aiming to enhance the gameplay experience for F7C Hornet users.
