Is this ship any good? Is it worth paying 1 mil for? I don't have ROTW and want to know if this would be money well spent.

The ship looks real cool, but I don't know how manuverable it is. What is the average Mass and HP?

Some weapon combinations lead to buggy fire. Graphical placeholders and blasters that shoot downwards.
Other than that, it's great. As a shipwright, I would say 'Dont Buy It! Buy my chassis!!' As a pilot, its the best ship you can fly.

I normally like to leave the cockpit frame on for immersion, but this thing is one massive blindspot. Just like the Corvette Stingray it seems to recall in design.

I agree with everyone else here. Its a dream ship! I use it as my main dogfighter with the pre-nerf tier 3 engine RE'd, reward shields, an RE VI cannon on the wings anda whopper RE VIII cannon underneath. I love the placement of the guns too!


Certain boosters look like classic side-exhausts on hot rods! Just try different ones until you find this mod. Its awesome.


The only drawback I can think off is that everyone and their grandmothersare using either the Grevious or the JSF for PvP. Its not exactly unique.

Paid 1.3 mill for mine, since my CorSec crafter would never get it himself or in a group. Thing flies very well, especially with a 104 speed engine shoved in it sideways with a liberal amount of lube. Cruising at over 1300 with eo3 and boosting to over 1600 with a fairly crappy booster.


I was a bit disappointed to find that none of the normal six texture kits made any change to its appearance. Haven't tried the two new texture kits. The booster display is also a bit buggy; the booster doesn't really connect to the rest of the fighter. But these are just asthetics.

I can get one of my 119 engines to fit just fine.


As for textures, mine had the default texture with text-kit 1 and all other (2 thru 6) texture kits gave me the default texture with a hand full of white lines around the cockpit. I think some devs misguided attempt at racing stripes.


I wasn't aware of two new texture kits for it. Do you mean the kits 7 and 8 with asteroid resources? .. I don't seem to be able to find them, or any schematics for the Bullubababe ... Bezubazol ... Bolobub .... the B-22

Nice! I haven't gotten around to getting one of the newer engines yet. What's your cruising speed with that?


And yeah, I was just hoping that the astroid-made ones has worked with this ship too.

2 weapon hardpoints


90K mass


600/600/300 pyr index.....better than awing, equal to starter ships.


No quest required to fly it


Put in a T3 reward engine; it will handle like a dream. The only thing that makes it different from the JSF is the profile. It is a bit larger. I just bought one for PvP; if you can't stop them, join them

Cool, I was afraid it wasn't that great. I just love the look of it.

I just got one myself. Haven't been able to do much testing with it yet, but so far it handles very nicely. And if you're big on looks, the interior cockpit is very well constructed, one of my favorites so far.
