Oh... it's nasty. It's really nasty. About to do some canyon runs in Ariel. 600m/s through 12km deep misty canyons... like a thug.
Can anyone test the iEagle and Viper MK III?

If this is true I think I can forgive Frontier for nerfing heat sinks.
That should give you a clue as to how happy I am about this.

Same. This is like... the greatest thing ever. This ship is ridiculously fast, and still quite maneuverable at that speed.

Wut? They did it?
Wow... When I first heard of the ship I always thought it would be capable of doing such speeds, I left the ship for dead when I saw the specs for the first time. This changes things. Thanks for the heads up!
It's glorious. The tiny ships are finally getting their niche. Speed. If the iEagle can get up there, too, then Gutamaya will rule the speedways of the galaxy
Can anyone test out the Adder please? I'm curious to know if it can become a contender on the racing circuit.
The new class 3 thrusters from Farseer.
I reckoned it would be something like that, but was a bit confused because this wasn't posted on the Beta board
Ohohoho... damn.
I wonder if they improve the brakes as well as the thrusters. It will make high speed docking rather interesting.
As long as you aren't doing those stealth Courior builds as some special snowflakes have you'll be fine with 4 pips to shields.
I just hope it stays this way. Small ships should be like this. If a Courier flees into an asteroid field. The new AI does a lot of running away to let their shields recharge. The small ships could have the advantage of always being able to stay with their target and keep pressure on them. It would help offset the lack of firepower.
Now we'll just sit and wait for the nerf bat. Very rarely does a mechanic that makes players go Holy smokin' Rubber Batman! (Or some such) live to see the end of the Beta. Before you know it, 600 will become 500 and you'll only be able fly in a straight line until you drop back below regular speeds due to some flakey "physics"
Sorry, has my bitterness spilled out there? ;-)
But seriously; Please keep the speed, FDEV, it's the one sensation missing in this game due to the scale of the ships and assets in general and it's sorely needed.
Downloading beta tonight! Gotta try high speed fa-off in a canyon! NAO!

And engineers can modify them, could make them even faster.

I splatted twice yesterday at 440..Both times PD just didn't quite recharge engs enough for boost in time..I keep it at around alt 50m and my fave thing is some 'pond skimming'!! hmm 600+ eh?..I'd better up my a/c balance!
If it is nerfed to 500m/s, it will be because these ships are invulnerable..I see nothing wrong with that!
FD should be really careful with this practice though..if these forums had exploded with 'wow 500m/s!' we would all be saying 'awesome!'..never give something, then take it away!..it just pees people off! Basic psychology..it is why prisoners in the UK have Sky TV inc sports..instead of being told from the outset 'you're a criminal - no Sky for you!'..they would have accepted it! Now try taking it away..& watch the rioting!
I'd like a buff to the Courier. Haven't used mine since Robigo was known for its mines.
