MCI Hornet F7A RE2

MCI Shipyards presents: the F7A Hornet, humanity's premier space fighter!

Inspired by its namesake from SC universe and adapted to work in REFORGED EDEN 2 .

She was designed with a sole purpose to fight in space at Core 9 without using torpedoes, but features a full survival interior and doubles as a good POI runner, thanks to her flexible loadout options and a drive system designed to operate at 80%+ CPU efficiency .

Combat tested to disarm and disable Sunats, Periats and Malraks at Core 9 and Imerats at Core 13.

She also comes in 5 colours. To apply, copy the preferred pallet from below, open the ship's colour pallet, press configure, then select the entire pallet (click top left colour, hold shift, click bottom right colour) and press paste/Ctrl-C.

MCI Shipyards hopes you'll enjoy flying the Space Plane!

P.S. Uploaded a video of the dual-30mm C9 config fight against a Periat. I apologise, it becomes choppy towards the second half - that's how empyrion runs for me.

- Fight's done in constant motion with auto-break off

- I flat-orbit to outrotate his turrets and evade fire while stripping shield or needing to recharge my own...

- And use the cushion my 23k shield provides to line up bursts with 30mm in tight close-quarter passes

- Focus the big guns with the ability to do AOE damage to you first, then move to kill T1, and then T2 laser turrets

- It's not quite obvious from the footage, but my own laser turrets do a lot of work to soften or even take out turrets

- The fight's practically done by 13 minutes when I move to kill the rear flak and drives to disable him and prep for boarding.

Same technique applies to railgun config and for C13 builds against an Imerat - though I would have to pull distance on occasion to recharge my shield properly.
