The video provides a detailed examination of the F7A Hornet MK I, focusing on its specifications, new paint options, and weapon loadout testing, including a full Mass driver cannon configuration. It also showcases customization options, such as upgrading the F7C Hornet turret with size 3 guns from the F7A Hornet MK I, and highlights the combat effectiveness of various weapon loadouts, like laser cannons and dominance laser scatter guns.
In the video, the focus is on the F7A Hornet MK I, which is part of the classic F7 Mark 1 series. This ship is being phased out with the ascendancy of the Hornet Mark 2, making it the last chance to pledge for the classic F7 Mark 1 series during the Invictus launch week 2954. The video provides a detailed look at the ship’s specifications, including flight performance metrics, HP breakdown, shield points, cargo capacity, and radar emissions. However, there are some bugs reported with the ship, such as the hydrogen fuel capacity discrepancy and storage area issues.
The video also showcases new paint options available for the F7A Hornet MK I, including Aium Blue, Iron Heart, Coring Camel, and the classic Invictus Blue. These paints are unique to the Mark 1 series and cannot be applied to the Mark 2 models. Additionally, the video explores different weapon loadouts for the ship, such as a full laser cannon setup and a full Mass driver cannon configuration. The Mass driver loadout is tested against various targets, showcasing its effectiveness in combat situations.
One interesting discovery made in the video is the ability to upgrade the F7C Hornet turret from two size 2 guns to two size 3 guns by using the B turret from the F7A Hornet MK I. This upgrade enhances the firepower of the F7C Hornet, showcasing customization options available for different Hornet models. The video also delves into the performance of different weapon loadouts, such as the meta loadout with laser cannons and the dominance laser scatter gun setup, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses in combat scenarios.
During weapon testing, the video demonstrates the effectiveness of the Mass driver cannons in penetrating shields and dealing damage to enemy ships. The shotgun-style dominance laser scatter gun loadout is also tested, showcasing its close-range effectiveness and the ability to take down shields quickly. The video concludes with a humorous incident where firing Ral missiles resulted in a lucky shot that took out the pilot of an A2 Hercules, leading to a successful mission completion without firing a shot from the guns. Overall, the video provides an in-depth look at the F7A Hornet MK I, its capabilities, customization options, and combat performance with different loadouts.
