I love the Tracker with the new Ironheart paint. If you want to keep the radome (it looks stunning with it), be warned to not remove it, ever, because it will disappear from inventory till the next larger patch! Also, there is an issue with the nose weapon mount. It comes with a S2 Varipuck with a Badger (S2), however, you can’t see it in the ship manager. And while you can attach a S3 weapon, you can’t (re)attach a S3 or S2 Varipuck! So, if you want the same pip for your three guns, you can’t touch the nose turret and you will be committed to the two Panthers under the wings. Unless you go without Varipucks for all three guns. But I’m not sure if that limits you in any way in 3.23, even if you don’t use any gimbal mode. Knowing CIG’s track record regarding fixes, it might take a long time. A shame really. o7
Personally, I made sure to pick a Super-Hornet for myself in this last chance to do so. For me that is the most iconic of them all. A two-sitter that gives me strong memories of an F-14 which is an all-time favourite. A decent amount of versatility weapon load-wise and the capacity to pick someone up on the fly (ex a sudden medical beacon) will maintaining combat capabilities even solo. I know it is the most sluggish of them all, but it's looks are unbeatable for me. As always, a splendid video from you. Thank you for the time and devotion. See you in the Verse...perhaps
Love these videos! A few patches ago, I had earned enough aUEC to splurge on ships I wouldn't normally purchase in game. One of them was the Hornet Tracker. I really liked the idea of a scouting ship. Hopefully CIG will focus more on these game mechanics when the other systems are introduced.
I keep the Tracker out of spite and it doesn't matter if we get a F7C-R Mk2. I like that we finally got the Stealth Cape on the F7C-S and the Radar on the F7C-R two patches ago, previous to that it was simply the paint that was different as the mounting point was empty. Also, in my characters background she acted as the designated AWACS pilot in her squadron and thus the F7A-R was her baby to fly.
Nice, I like the background. In my character's case, he flew Retaliators. Needless to say, I'm so happy to see the modularity even though I don't actually own the modules. Heh.
I bought a tracker before they went away. I love the idea of a true C2 ship, small enough to not get noticed or targeted as a high value asset, and quick enough to evade and escape once caught behind or close to enemy lines. I imagine in big org battles, if there are waves of ships, this ship can detect them all and do real time recon to call out flanking forces or hidden forces, so the main fighter complement can fend off the attackers.
The hydrogen fuel on the mark 1’s is bugged at the moment, they loose fuel far faster than they should. Hopefully it’s fixed soon as I drop outta the sky sometimes before I get to a planet target
I own all of the MK 1s (except the F7A) and will keep these as legacy ships, as museum pieces, occasionally trundling them out for nostalgia and feels. o7
Being that I used to play Wing Commander, I have a soft spot for the Hornet. Though I never once had a Tracker. If they ever actually have an in game purpose for this type of ship than yes. That may or may not happen though.
This is the only fighter i own. The way i hope to use it is as a sort of path finder. As in, i have industry ships that transport valuables and i plan to use the tracker to scout ahead to check if the quantum jump point ahead is safe by going there with this nimble radar ship. Il have protection from stealth bombers potentially if i have it patrolling the area im working at. Like perhaps im scavenging a crashed C2 with a vulture and taking out the cargo, it would be so cool if someone was just patrolling with the tracker n keeping the skies clear. I know the MK2 will have larger weapons, but if il decide to Really git gud at fighting, my tracker will be serviceable enough and get the job done. And the classic nature of owning one will just become cooler and cooler as the years go by. I love my tracker :D
The tracke is my favourite of the variants with the super hornet. The tracker will eventually allow great scanning, pathfinder capabilities and Mission Control / command and information to other units whilst still being able to put out decent dps
I do not own one and have not noticed until now the radar on the bottom. CIG could have used the Super Hornet MK1 as the base and the backseat operator could operate the radar and manage the fight if more ships are involved.
Hell yeah, I love my Tracker! Really curious what functionality the radar is going to add. Maybe a slightly extended fuel range, as well? Either way, my Tracker is a staple in my fleet.
Just hoped in the game today, bought it in 2014. I was expecting the radar version to be somthing similiar to warthunder top tier, offering out of sigh combats.
One feature no one seems to point out is the different sensor array on the nose giving it a sleeker look. In pre-MK2C days, it was the closest looking to the MK2A among the MK1 Hornets. Also did they remove the wing sweep when landing gear is down? In some shots the wing weren't folded when landed.
Personally I prefer the F7C-M Super-Hornet. The longer Cockpit looks better and the second seat is a nice option to be able to pick up a fellow Citizen who lost his ship. It comes standart with both Turrets so it got lots more firepower. I actually planned to get one for aUEC and one day outfit it with a Cargobox (that I could swap with the turret if needed) to do small deliveries but sadly CIG decided that we wont be able to buy it ingame (because reasons) as it basicly got retired 4 hours ago as of the writing of this comment. Its still buyable for now (pledge is gone already) but an upcoming patch will remove it.
they say they will keep it updated ..... but they are not keeping every ship up to date now so this ship will go to the back of the line for all the gold standards
CIG never speaks clearly about role purpose of this ship... no one knows what it will actualy be cappable of doing... to scan for potential pvp fleet or to locate miners / haulers meanwhile finding out small warmholes to jump between systems... lack of information what it will do is a reason why I will gladly pass on it ... and it could be such a great content if a CIG Dev made a comparison between tracker hornet vs tracker terrapin and their planed gameplays most of SC is just guessing what it will or could be
I’m not even interested in this ship, but I love farrister’s style and cinematography so much that I’m watching it all the way through
I watch them all regardless of interest for the same reason. :-)
same.i dont even Play the game
@@birdiessimracingsame lol
I just got interested in the Tracker since a week or so, what a perfect time to see a Farrister review on this ship !

@@JL-rj9fl I'm super happy for the retaliator to finally have it's gimmick and also gold standard. And thanks :)
Thanks Farrister, for another interesting video
I literally just pledged this for the first time yesterday :P

Thank you for the awesome reviews as always
They still haven't fix that overhead FMD floating screen! Even the the Wildfire has it!
It will be interesting to see how the desirability of this ship will change now its being 'removed' from circulation.
Definitely, I am curious how many they sold at Invictus this year and how many people are sitting on CCUs.

I love the hornets. Best looking fighter!
F7A MK2 review soon? 👀
Review idea! Every main spawning apartment / place in star citizen! You know the place you first wake up when you start the game?
Not gonna lie, one of the reasons I got a Super Hornet was to try out running a SWACS with a backseater once radar got sorted out.
I didn't think Super Hornet did SWACS Ogi?

I think that's a new bug. I was flying a hornet ghost around mt and after a takeoff near a mining station the wings wouldn't extend.

I will stick with mining and salvaging I am terrible at combat but still enjoy watching your vids on the ships. o7 😎👍
Hi ! Hum, question, will there be MK2 versions of the current MK1 ? For example, a MK2 Super Hornet.
Honestly I'm not sure
That's a cool ship! Where can I get one?
I bought it as a gamble or an l t I token
All Mk1s in 3.23.1 seem to have severely limited fuel issues.
they say they will keep it updated ..... but they are not keeping every ship up to date now so this ship will go to the back of the line for all the gold standards
feels illegal to be this early
Wait. The Tracker has best paint job. But seriously, it's radar does have twice the range of the other Hornets.
Since you can put any module on any Hornet, having multiple models doesn't make much sense.
How are you doing
I'm good. How are you?
@@crypt_houndGreat to hear, I'm doing well also.
