It’s the first time in 10 years that i'm in this game that a ship has been a 100% match for what I want.

I feel like the Hermes deserves more appreciation. The design looks fantastic, the 288 SCU cargo grid is actually practical, and that rail-mounted tractor beam is such a good idea.

It's one of those ships where the overall layout makes sense for what it's supposed to do. I love that RSI managed to make a medium freighter that looks this good while still giving it some decent firepower.

Obviously the rear entrance could be better, but I think the Hermes gets a lot more right than wrong.

Curious what everyone else thinks. Is the Hermes still one of your favorite medium haulers, or have you moved on to something else?

I really want my Orion :(

This paint decaying look like barnacles on a ship.

I played for about three hours and the ship paint is started to peel off. Also there is no way to recover it. The only way to renew the paint is to blow up you ship then reclaim it.

I love the new Connie MK.V but how does the Starmap still lack basic features like tracking the location of our own ships and vehicles?
Why does CIG advertise the idea of a snub craft when you still risk running into situation, where you can't get back to your main ship?
Yes, I know there are some workarounds like placing mission cargo in the main ship to have a permanent marker, but they are just that a workaround.
Also, considering mission cargo can be tracked all over the verse... why can't the same be applied to our ship?

1st world problems

If I hadn’t taken this myself, I wouldn’t believe it’s an unaltered in-game screenshot.

I think I’m in love.

Damn, this thing looks good! The black and gold camo, the aggressive design, the ridiculous amount of firepower… it’s basically a flying declaration of bad intentions. 😂

Took her out for a little spin around Pyro, and naturally, I spent more time taking screenshots than actually flying.

Now I just need to figure out whether I’m going to use her for bounty hunting or simply fly around looking intimidating. Probably both.

Anyone else flying the Meteor? How are you finding it so far?

The Perseus now has a viable snub that can be docked and undocked without 5 minutes of fiddling.

Left hornet is the Mk1 and the right is the Mk2. Photos are Mk1 then Mk2. No changes, enhancements. Captured at 1440p with high/very high for most settings.

Let me know which one you prefer.

I'm still not entirely sure whether the Liberator will be released, since CIG doesn't usually launch two large ships at IAE. However, considering that we already have the Aegis kit, that the Liberator has been in production for a while, and that the monthly reports show significant progress in its development, I think it should be ready. Also, I think the Auxilia would complement the Liberator really well, as their capabilities seem to fit together perfectly. It would be cool to see them launch around the same time.

Another ship I'm unsure about is the Drake Marauder. I have no idea what it's going to be. The name suggests it could be a fighter, but we're missing a starter ship this year, which makes me think the Marauder might fill that role. Or could there be a surprise that hasn't appeared in the leaks?

I'm also curious about what the MK5 Andromeda will offer compared to the Centauro. Will it bring anything significant, or will it be similar to the MK4 variants?

A chill post to relax this Saturday.

Drop your theories in the comments!
