Gotcha, I just wondered if that was in game and I had missed it...
And yeah- the Overclocked m6a's are nasty!

So anyone get the f7c-m heartseaker super hornet upgrade? what all does it give you besides the valentine skin for $15?
It has a better power plant, better shields, better weapons. The thing is you can already buy every single one of those components in-game and upgrade your existing super hornet. So I personally I don't see the point on getting it if you already own a Super Hornet even more so considering they will continue to add new components (power plants/shields/weapons, etc) that may be better down the line.
By the way the glitch that lets you use REC rented items in the PU is back so if you have some REC laying around it won't even cost you any actual in-game credits to have the same loadout as the Heartseeker and the items aren't that expensive to begin with.
P.S: And even the skin is kinda worthless for those of us who own the F7A Mark II body kit
>Seems... unnecessary.
Far from it
Needs to say version .0.3.5.0 what happened to 1.0 being the released game? O yeah this is ss and will be lucky to hit 1.0 lol
So... I'm hearing that the Evocati are very effective?
I know this may be unlikely even for [H], but is there anyone who has played the new flight model (3.5) and owns high end HOTAS or HOSAS setups? Specifically those controls from VirPil and/or VKB Controllers? For those who don't know, VirPil and VKB are the two ultra-high end flight sim hardware manufacturers of which I am aware ; both are Eastern European companies and at current make the most up to date flight/space sim hardware around - if there is anyone else, let me know. Note their grips can be used (to some extent at least) for those who have some other ultra-high end sim equipment or vice versa (ie Thustmaster Warthog)
On the surface, VirPil and VKB can look somewhat similar (for instance they both have a modern combat grip that is modeled after the latest generation Russian fighter jet grip) but they seem to have some differences in underlying tech as well as both grip and base features. I'm trying to get a good comparison before I decide to buy given the serious expense of the platforms and their presumptive long term viability (they do seem to be upgraded. Buy a high end base, you'll be able to use many grips and/or customize it with different cams/springs and other sets).
VKB - https://vkbcontrollers.com/ - Their "best" base seems to be the "Gunfighter MK2").and for something like SC the choice of their Modern Combat Grip (MCG Pro, the superior version) and the Space Combat Grip (SCG Pro version, comes with a twist axis). There are of course left hand and right hand mods for each as well as extensions for sim pit use and other accessories. There is no Throttle style setup at current for fans of that control surface, but then again many seem to like to fly dual stick. Note they do have a pair of pedals which are nice for atmospheric flight I hear but aren't really the best compared to others in the high end
VirPil - https://virpil.com/en/ - Their newest and best base is the MongoosT-50CM which is newly in production and their grips include the MongoosT-50CM2 Grip (the latest iteration of their high end modern combat grip, also newly in production) and the Constellation Delta (Their first entry level space sim grip. Their next grip will be a high end Constellation space sim model coming later this year!), as well as a options for the really comprehensively featured (and priced accordingly) MongoosT-50 Throttle. There are lots of accessories including desk/chair mounts of all kinds which is necessary given that the latest high end base needs to be secured somehow. They are also launching a series of mid grade and high end pedals that (on the high end) compete with MCG Crosswinds which I am to understand are the best flight/space sim pedals to date; I wonder how they'll compare?
There are a couple of streamers/video makers (ie Noobifier) who have done reviews of this class of hardware in the past, but that was under the old flight setup so I was curious if anyone here had used it under 3.5 new flight model.

There have been some pretty nice gameplay additions to help against the typical griefers in the game.
First change is the threshold to be attacked by space stations has been lowered to level 1 crime stat. The minimum used to be level 3.
At higher crime stat levels you will be hunted down by Advocacy NPC ships of ever increasing size class and firepower (starts off with Avenger to Gladius to Vanguard and so on) and ultimately at the highest crime stat level you'll have the UEE Navy joining in with a fully NPC crewed Hammerhead along with the other ships hunting you down.
And if you think you can go to ground to evade the law, you are mistaken. AI FPS NPCs will also spawn around and inside ground based mission locations coming after you.
