Haha, yeah, I use mine as surface prospecting vessel. Great super cruise handling, great range, and just what you need to get out there and drop an SRV.

Well... actually I thought more about the bracing without those winglets...
You can't see the winglets from inside the cockpit, you can pretend they're not there?
Exactly! Lands anywhere and has a great jump range with engineering. And looks a bit like a DeTomaso Mangusta from the rear, although I might be reaching, there. Use mine for surface prospecting and simplistic deep space exploration when I want to get away from it all. Love it.
What?
Just put a 7A ULC and you can have all limpet types at your disposal... like for example you can have 8 collectors out if you need to
There's a problem with the T8. See if this screenshot reveals it:
Not seeing it yet? How about now?
That's right, the C2 hardpoint points directly at the cargo hatch, and sometimes subsurface missiles actually hit it and blow up.
Just make the cargo hatch open sideways instead of backwards and the problem is resolved.
Also, it can hit an active repair limpet even if the cargo hatch is retracted.
That might mean we would need to fly sideways to scoop.
Hi All
Possible causes, and rectification.
1. The first batch of Lakon T8's were built and completed on a Friday.
2. 'Lakon' need to refine their Quality Control.
3. A dastardly plot and subsequent industrial sabotage by the Empire.
4. Recall of all the T8's, and a temporary replacement with a courtesy ship, either a Panther Clipper or Tiger Trader plus an MB5 Auto mining machine, until the problems are resolved, (subject to available stock).
5....
...I'm still thinking...

no need for a long list, a full ARX refund with interest would suffice - while retaining access to the corrected ship of course.
There definitely are few smaller errors in T8 design. I hope they will fix it soon, since now they have much larger testing team (myself included )
(myself included )As a 'quick' fix, I guess they could swap out the animation for the SRV hanger one (splits down the middle and retracts into the ship). After all, it's the same place anyway.
Any station that sells the ship will (should) sell the hull armour for it.
The catch is that while it's in the exclusive period, no stations sell it as part of normal inventory, and Inara data can be a bit unreliable as part of people with access summoning the ship seems to temporarily place it in the shipyard for them only.
The three full-outfitting stations: i Sola Prospect in Brestla (no permit, costs more than normal) ; Jameson Memorial in Shinrarta (permit, general discounts) ; Attilius Orbital in CD-43 11917 (tough permit, specific discounts) should sell the armour, though

Negative, cuz i already checked the station where i purchased ( claimed it really ) and NONE appeared in 'armor' outfitter.
yep that's ^ what i suspected but wasn't certain ...
ahhhh right, totally forgot about 'i Sola Prospect' station YES THANKS much CMDR!! phew!
I haven't docked at a station since I got my Python MkII from the ARX store but my understanding is that purchase from the ARX store also includes the ability to buy these early access ships in-game too. Armour would be available wherever sells the ship.
Where you request the ARX purchased ship to be delivered is not the same as a dock that sells that ship.
Founders access is handy
Yes, correct - unfortunately, "wherever sells the ship" is virtually nowhere right now even for those with the license.
That is an unfortunate oversight in the game design. Perhaps someone @FDev could explain the reasoning behind that scarcity?
