3.0: The Lakon Rises

[TheSisko]

I haven't seen any details on the T7 buffs yet. The only one mentioned in the patch notes is a jump range buff, but I haven't seen anything about how they did this or how much effect it has.

I haven't see anything about additional slot or PD upgrade either except in this thread. Any more info? The PD would absolutely help it for mining, but would be nice if it got perhaps its top and bottom hardpoints changed to medium.

An extra size two module would indeed be nice -- I can think of lots of things to put in there (discovery scanner, docking computer, AFMU, mining limpet controller, emergency fuel scoop, SRV, module reinforcements...)

So I sure hope you're right about all this.



We sure do.

Well, I'm back at Founders World in my T7. She has a G5 FSD upgrade and last night, she could jump around 33Ly while empty.

Now, with 3.0? 38.5Ly (or 24.09Ly carrying 272 tons. For me, the hull mass is now 473.0

I can also confirm the new Class 2 slot.....and whoa! Class 5 power plant!!! Where did THAT come from?!?

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!

That is awesome! Now all it needs it's 5th small hardpoint, and the T-7 will be perfect!

I always thought Faulcon DeLacy would be the one to rise and help the Alliance, but alas i was wrong. The Alliance welcomes our cooperation, and supports Lakon going forwards.

I know you were being facetious here but a Sidewinder with 3 small hardpoints = Eagle. There's precious little room for a Sidey buff that doesn't make Eagle/Hauler or the next upmarket multirole Adder redundant.

The only Buff the Sidewinder needs is more than one decal slot!

OK, here was thread where Type 7 buff was discussed.

That was before some of those changes were rolled back. Some players didn't want a Trader to outjump exploration vessels.

She (gonna name her at some point) was also hot as hell, thanks to a power plant upgrade. I wanted it all. Best sheilds. Best jump range. Now, she's a lot cooler and won't catch fire when high-waking from planetary outposts.

Did I mention the power distributor upgrade? Its there aright. [yesnod]

Oh, hull mass is actually 350 tons.

Wow seems like the new Type 7 out does my old Engineered one!

Ah Lakon!
Warms the heart nicely to finally see this.

They can't even be asked to secure the wiring on the roof of the Anaconda's cockpit! Countless health and safety regulations being broken right there!

Cable ties will be on sale at the Frontier Store - two quid for a six pack.

OP, can you change the new text colour please. Yellow on white isn't exactly the best combination.

 

[Red Martian]

Amen. I'm a Lakon girl. I will fly any ship in the universe, but I always feel at home in the cockpit of a Lakon ship.

Falcoun DeLacy used to be the premiere manufacturer. Looks like Lakon will be known as the everyman ship manufacturer , the "GM", of the early 34th century.
