Sparrowhawk "A"
2x Large Beam Laser, C3, BHP, GECM

Very nice does it go fast?

The B looks more like 2 LRM5, unless the LRM10 has the same model as the 5

Why bother with this news post when the next patch is just around the corner? It's simple. THE PATCH WILL BE DELAYED

Hm.

My guess is that prices have been rebracketed so that the Sparrowhawk is in the starter price range and the Sulla is in the next tier. I'm also guessing some of the Sulla's non-lollerbolt variants have had a weapon's boost... 2 large beam lasers, for example, is way more tonnage than the 6 erml Sulla packs (where on the other hand the prime Sparrowhawk is basically a prime Sulla without the dual SSRM6s).

12 erml Sulla A, anyone?

It does. Look at the Shiva.

Whoa. Just realized I'm comparing a 30 ton IS aero to a 45 ton clan aero. Big weapons boost, anyone?

lolwut.  Can't really be delayed with no real set release date.  That being said, don't start rumors man, they go craAAAAAaaazy!

Hahah. I'm just kidding.

But these Sparrowhawks are seriously overweight. The Prime one has over 15 tons more equipment than it can carry. That's more than 50% of the total weight of that Aero

[Aposiopesis]

This is making me as seriously excited for the Sulla as it is for the new thing. I'm trying to figure out some of the possible new configs.. perhaps closer to the canon variants?

2 erppc, 1 mpl, 1 sbl? Perhaps boosted to 2 erppc, 3 mpl? (to account for tonnage differentials with the Sparrowhawk)

prime changed to 2x AC5, 2x mg, 2x ssrm6?

ERPPC, 2 lpl, 1 sbl boosted to erppc, 2 lpl, 2 mg?

This is fun.

OMG what sexy electronics packages! it's a true flying scout!.... soooooo sexy oooo two NARC variants too! ECM TOOO!!!! OMG sooooo sexy.  *drools*

Nice to see something in aerospace fighters being added to the game. This should make those blasted Shiva's think twice.

[SquareSphere }12thVR{]

noooooo these should be paired with shivas to throw maximum hurt on the ground pounders.

I have to say that i like the new than the previous version. In it, there were twin Cannons for the nose. This one however has twin boom wings next to the canopy.
