Thank you o7
F8C suits me better. It has a massive quantum tank so can use the VK00, it has 2 size 2 shields vs 2 size 1. In a dogfight 1v1 it will lose to the F7A against an opponent with equal skill, but it is a more flexible ship for life in the verse.
It got crapped on but most of the people with the backbone to say anything already left.
So, while the VK-00 looks good based on that high top speed, the Spectre is actually faster for most jumps. Not only can you do successive jumps more quickly, but the Spectre has a much faster Stage 1 Acceleration value (1000+m/s vs. 600ish of the VK-00), so unless you're making the longest possible jumps across the system over and over, (like Crusader to Microtech) you'll save more time with the Spectre.
Grinding bounties within one system for example - the Spectre beats the VK-00 handily. Even for a 32 GM jump (the distance between Crusader and Hurston), the Spectre beats the VK-00 by 10 seconds.
The "Acceleration" stat is also why those Size 2 drives like the Crossfield or XL-1 are way faster than the VK-00, even though they have lower top speeds.

Lol I can see the same floating box bug in the hangar that I see whenever I'm in a hanger,
the heck, what is that?
@@PorconautaGames additional ammo storage🤣
F8 for style all day just need more paint variants for it
Yeah I need paint for f8 I was hoping for Invictus paint and nothing.
Yes please i need paints.
Just give me F8A upgrade for my F8C 😂😂😂😂
From Scuttlebutt around SQ42 you are meant to have the option of one after finishing around 90% of the story. But as we know that can change or just be a roomer.
@@RavingNut Years ago, Chris Roberts himself said that the F8 would be a reward for completing (or at least reaching a certain point in) SQ42. What we *don't* know is if it will be an F8A or an F8C. We also don't know if we'll be getting the ship for free or merely unlocking the faction standing to be able to buy it in-game.
@@randlebrowne2048It might be an F8A upgrade token. They can’t just give out the actual ship because it would invalidate all the people who payed $260 for the F8C originally.
@@feariex Keep in mind that every ship and item are supposed to eventually be earnable in-game.
As one of those who bought an F8C (using store credit) for $300, I wouldn't have a problem with melting it in favor of another ship if I can eventually get it for free.
@@randlebrowne2048fair point but a lot of people would complain about it regardless
F7 flies like garbage in atmo so on that premise alone F8 is better IMO. Flying in atmo with F7 is so painful it completely kills the ship for me atm
Having only 2 MFDs is also lame not sure what CIG is smoking.
The MFDs issue with the F7A is because you are meant to have holographic informations around your helmet in the future.
They're not gonna make more MFDs temporary to have to rework the ship again in the future. That's why they made the whole shmilblick with the MK1 and MK2 series for Hornet.
Looks wise I have to give it to the F8 it gives more of a future space craft and looks more intimidating IMO
I have both but have been contemplating melting the F8C... but can't pull the trigger. I'd been lusting over it for years at the ship shows, so it is not easy to just give up on it. Plus, at some time you know they will do a mission quest to upgrade it to an F8A!
Visually, both are pretty ships. But., did you shoot the exact same spot of both Taurus?
I wonder if there maybe some randomness which simulates critical hits or penetrations right now until armor and all that stuff comes in.
But there also is the C vs A... So F7A is military for a reason :D
Yes, same place in the middle of ships.
Thanks for the video!! I would try full deadbolts for F7A and full omnisky for F8C....
I really really want a F8C.. it looks sooo good. But I can't get it anymore.
For appearance. F8C has that hunter killer presence (in look) down. The F7A has the Attack craft look nailed.
Damage wise the F8C (or A) is meant to be a fighter hunter killer, and the F7A is the "work horse" (all-rounder) for a fighter. However, I think (like what happened with the Arrow after release) the F7 will be nerfed, or F8 will be buffed and brought up to its own feel again (as it is nerfed in handling right now as well).
The F7A does not need a nerf considering how easy it is to pop the shields on it. It's effectively a glass canon.
@@Heshinsi this will not change as the F7 is only a medium fighter and it is not supposed to kill large ships...
@@BesteWare I meant to say that it does not need a nerf. OP thinks it will be nerfed but I don't think it needs to. Time to kill has increased and the F7A can not withstand a swarm of light fighters attacking it.
Cool video what was the loadout ? Like to try it out my self
Thank you. All deadbolts 🫡
F8C is a nicer looking ship for me..
to be fair, the F7A turrets have like 100 health. 1 hit on the turrets and they stop shooting.
Also the F8C is way tankier.
you know as well as I do its a bug
F8C looks better. F7A I don't like that huge spoiler in the back. I purchased the F8C but skipped the F7C MKII/F7A just because of the spoiler. Also, remember CIG hypes newly introduced ships to increase sales and then later nerfs them against the next upcoming ship. Same will happen to the F7A when whatever appears next
Yeah, i bought it for LTI and will probably go for 600i when they nerf F7a 🥰
Problem with F8c in prolonged bounty grinding is you can lose the canard and weapon on it quite easily, hope in near future you can just do multi-tool repairing in space
Does have the f8c S2 bubble shields or normal? Same question for F7a
All bubbles 😺
2 size 2's
Nice test. Now do it again with energy weapons (perhaps Omnisky’s). Reason for that is the F8C has a far larger capacitor and far higher fill rate. :) Cheers man o7
Good tip, yeah will try it and with a mix setup too. That is my favorite setup.
Remember that f8 prioritizes shields and f7 prioritizes armor, currently, in-game ballistics armor has not been implemented, thus making f8 seem tankier even though they should be similar.
f7a is better till the f8a lol
Hear me out: F8A Mk-II
That would be awesome 😎
The F8A on Erkul also has a size 5 hard point.. Massive dps over 10k when loaded correctly. Unfortunately, this ship is unavailable, probably only will become available after completing Squadron 42.
I only see 2xS4's and 4xS3's where do you see a size 5 for the F8A?
@@Garflog643 size 5 hardpoint
F8C > F7C
F7A > F8C
F8A > F7A
Exactly o7
Sounds about right to me, military variants should always remain extraordinary
F7A can rely on cross upgrades to really reduce the cost.
The F8C was 300 dolars, without cross upgrade, so it eats a lot of your budget to get, for example, a big ship with a hangar to ferry your fighter around the verse... and you could just get it by having fun on the Squadron 42 (nott sure yet how to get F7A outside overdrive)
For now its F7A, but who knows later...
Yeah, bigger ships should not die to fast to fighters…they will never balance that as it will brake the game. Only thing is when armor comes online that per ship changes and large ship HP becomes substantially higher and light capital armor much higher than that and capital even higher. Basically a fighter should not even register damage to a capital ship unless it hits Ion/Inferno territory. And a requires like 6 just to kill it. Right now still, small ships are feared and have agility to never have fire returned from large ships even fully manned, VERY easy to stay in the blind spots of large ships.
it's honestly not a real comparison since they nerfed the f8's damage and haven't nerfed the f7 yet. The f8 should really out damage the f7 bc it's a heavy fighter, the f7 is a medium fighter.
Its also civilian vs military. It makes sense the military version would have more fire power, even if its the lower tier.
I'll take both.
does anyone know if the F8C will be available again durin invictus ?
I hope so, we will see.
I heard it will be available on Anvil day
Wait a minute when was the F 8 Sold ?
Sadly, now not.
Like 6 months or a year ago I think? I have one in my buyback. Melted it for now. Wasnt flying it. I prefer the f7a mk2
I must be getting a LOT of desync because it’s taking forever to kill NPCs and they are basically 5 shotting me.
Get gud. Do better.
Typical CIG, release ship for sale with power creep and people buy it, nerf it later.
Looks f8c for sure , manouvering f7a.
F8c is a flying boring computer mouse. Not so great design. Unlike F7A/C mk2 - it is design masterpiece
@@jkl3201 taste is personal i gues 😅
Team hornet for me :D
You are super lucky, the AI is almost idle, on a normal server taking an ERT solo with an F7A or F8C is just suicide XD
I was not solo there were 2 of my friends there. Drowning fire. Yeah ERT are hard.
@infinitespace239 Okay , that makes sense 😉
F8 can handle erts no problems
@@1991Ursa I really would like to see how you manage to solo kill all enemy ships of the ERT in a F8C on a 30fps server. I'm not saying you can't I just want to see it and learn how to do it. If you have any tutorial video or tips. In the past that was easy, keep nose on target, orbit around and everything is fine no one follow you, now if you do that there is a bunch of bad guys orbiting with you around the target and boom!
@@citizenoftheverse4653 you can add me and ill show you MADAFAKA_JONES91. Im doing constant solo erts with f8. For weapon loadout i use all deadbolt cannons, and my flight setup is HOSAS (I tuned the sensitivity and deadzones). Dont get me wrongbi have to disengage sometimes to recharge shields but im 99% succesfull
Anyone notice that NAV mode on the f8c has a better turning radious thancin SCM mode ? Wouldnt it make better sense to reverse it so the SCM mode has a better turning radious ? Lol come on CIG
Yeah 😄 lol
Probably a bug, it will probably be corrected so it turns to the same radius it does in SCM mode soon. As it should being a heavy fighter.
but can it kill my Polaris tho X3
Lol it can annoy it like fly 😂
I like the look of the f8c more but the f7a definitely feels nicer to fly
Bro the test is so gimped, if u test something u need to mitigate variables, for example either you always target the ship or dont/ use the same convergence / attack the same angle etc.
That why the second hornet test took more then 7 shots, good idea, bad execution
It was all the time at the same angle and in the same place. The only mistake was to take Andromeda instead of Taurus.
@@infinitespace239 second fight, you didnt even target which changes weapon convergence...
@@Parobro same as first mate
i do not get why the even put a C2 in a mission like that or catapiller is not combats ships at all its a joke when people say yea see me i can kill this taget yes but they are not combat ships an they are not shooting back becouse they are to slow
They are cargo ships and protected by fighters like Hammerhead or Redeemer. They are not shooting back because the server is bad. If you try the same mission now with a good server, you will see the difference. o7
f7a nose turret hp of 100 sucks though
100? That explains a thing. One ground npc shot at me with P4 rifle for like two seconds and after that, lower S3 guns were disabled
F8 is better hands down
F8C every time. Can’t stand the F7 at all tbh
I have both but why you cant stand it?
@@o0BaCaRDi0o prob dies to fast
F7a is pretty tanky tbh
So you claim erkul is inaccurate, and so you test it in an even more inaccurate way.
Good job genius...
Lol, when did I say that ??? There is a difference between theory and practice that doesn't mean one is wrong and other is not . Please make your own test and post it I will gladly watch it and give you some points on how to do it better lol o7
F8 definitely better looking
obviously not
13 (shots) are more than a double of 7? Hhmmm? 🤔
Shhhh, my wife is teaching math if she sees this I am dead lol 😂
@@infinitespace239 OK, I would say that now costs hush money. 😜
But I'm fair. An F7C MK II is enough for me. 😁😂
F8C is boring flying computer mouse. There arent any design in this ship. F7C mk2 is a masterpiece.
Why? Hornets are the most typical space ship, honestly kinda boring. F8 looks like a super modern ship with fuck tons of guns...
