In the buyer’s guide, Law the West presents the Mark II F7C-M Super Hornet, a versatile medium fighter with enhanced weaponry, including upgraded missile capabilities and a co-pilot seat, making it ideal for both combat and transport missions. While it offers increased firepower and durability compared to the Mark I, it has slightly reduced speed and maneuverability, positioning it as a solid investment for players in Star Citizen.
In this buyer’s guide, Law the West introduces the Mark II F7C-M Super Hornet, a ship designed to closely resemble military specifications while being available for civilian use. The Super Hornet is equipped with an impressive array of weaponry, including two size three weapon mounts on the nose turret, two size four mounts on the wings, and two additional size three mounts on a remote dorsal turret. It can also fire eight size one missiles and has two size four missile racks containing four size two missiles each. Additionally, the ship features a co-pilot seat, making it a versatile option for players who missed out on the F7A Overdrive missions.
One important note is that the Mark II Super Hornet will not replace the Mark I version; existing owners of the Mark I will retain their ships. The Mark II has a slightly longer nose and a stretched tail assembly but maintains the same landing capabilities as its predecessor. The pricing for the Mark II Super Hornet is set at $220 for the War Bond option and $240 for the Standalone option, making it a competitive choice among medium-sized dogfighters.
Law shares his personal experience with the Super Hornet, stating that it has been his main ship for nearly a decade, and he has eagerly awaited the Mark II release. The presence of a co-pilot seat is particularly beneficial for transporting friends or fellow players, allowing them to assist as gunners or simply enjoy the ride. This feature enhances the ship’s utility during missions, where players often encounter others in need of transport.
In terms of performance, the Super Hornet strikes a balance between maneuverability, firepower, and durability, making it a formidable choice for PvE missions. It excels in combat against small to medium-sized enemy ships, which is common in many ship-to-ship combat scenarios. Compared to the Mark I, the Mark II boasts larger weapons, more missiles, and an upgraded turret, making it a significant upgrade in terms of firepower.
While the Mark II has slightly reduced speed and maneuverability compared to the Mark I, it compensates with enhanced firepower, additional shields, and a larger power plant. Overall, the Mark II F7C-M Super Hornet represents a solid investment for players looking for a reliable and powerful medium fighter in Star Citizen. Law concludes the guide by encouraging viewers to consider this ship for their fleets.
