Been too long since we had ant Cobra Mk III stuff.
 
I am gonna get me that. Thanks for the heads up, but they still owe me a Raider kit for the aChief. What's it going take to get that done?

Just wait, I bet they already have a Raider kit for the Chieftain ready to be released.
It's a nice ship for a Raider kit, unlike the Cutter.
 
There's almost nothing in that kit which looks terribly impressive to me, I'm afraid.

It's like a kid built a Chieftain out of Lego and then looked in their Lego tub, realised they had a handful of extra wings, flaps and fins in there and tried sticking them to the model.

About the only part which does look interesting are the sensor masts.
Personally, I kind of wish FDev would release a kit of "Greebles", including things like those masts, which'd work with every ship.
It'd include things like hoses, wiring, antennas, gas-cylinders and similar detailing.
They won't though. [sad]

*EDIT*

Also, those sensors masts are going to clip like a hairdresser on Onionhead when you fly close to things.

Not to be negative, but I agree. been flying the Chief exclusively and figured this would be a no brainer. May still purchase it just to be able to individualise the ship, but I'd be convincing myself I wanted it. Unlike the Cobra ship kit, which I still think is the best of bunch.
 
The masts look pretty cool, I love seeing stuff out the cockpit.

Not flying a Chieftan at the moment, not really sure what to do with those 3 small hardpoints?
Just special effects I guess?

I plan on putting three sturdy super penetrator rail guns in there. Might be good for shutting down the power plants of targets while having reasonable heat generation.

Besides, I want a Viper IV raider kit, like, right now!
 
This kit is a bit more subtle than most. It reminds me of the Vulture kit. I'm it. I'll still get that Raider kit when/if they get to it.

One note though, I really can't see the 'Stalks' from inside the cockpit.
