I'm not sure if you can slave the turret to the pilot cause I read somewhere that CIG said this is not to be the case, bit you can automate the turret to be a point defense platform.

I bought a Hurricane with in-game currency and upgrade one of my other fighters to the Scorpius. I love the Hurricane and it's obviously able to tank more damage. However, the Scorpius is really fun to fly and wheeling the nose around is a thought. Both of them have a place. I think the Scorpius is the superior choice for fighter escort but the Hurricane will do better against larger targets. I flew two up in the Hurricane during the last Xenothreat event and it was a butcher when both size 4s and the turrets armaments were focus on a single target. Nothing erases a Hammerhead like a size 9 from an Eclipse, but the Hurricane chews them up in a hurry. I'm concerned that losing the gimbles on the wings will spread the firepower over too wide of an area, especially against light fighters, to take advantage of the larger weapons, so I'm sticking with the size 2s.

Firing the pilot weaponry with the wings closed won't be an option in the future according to CIG. I'm also disappointed with there only being two MFD's for the pilot seat and the turret having almost no awareness aids. The best thing about this ship^IMO is how you can see CIG moving further and further away from the inner thought system, seeing as they went out of their way to put buttons almost everywhere.

Its a good ship, just used it today in 9tails blockade and it destroys the ai ships very (VERY) quickly with a gunner. As the show went on an ace pilot turned red and decided to go after us in the Scorpius, it turned into a 20 minute dog fight where in the end we ran so low on fuel we had to run back to the station.. At this point he began chasing us but couldn't catch up, so we slowed down a bit and waited for him to get real close then unloaded the turret into him and finally secured the kill.. After all that the station couldn't refuel us due to a bug, so the scorp made it all the way back to Lorville all shot up with sparks shooting out of the interior and red lights flashing lol. It got us home, and the other guy did not.

It's like a Warden: good alone, great with two. And if you have 3 people, then the Redeemer!

Since I'm not really a combat pilot, I don't have a lot to say about the Scorpius - it's got a good mix of speed, handling, and firepower, and the only real flaw I see is that the reverse-mode on the turret seems to be a feature in need of a benefit at the moment. It might be worth testing to see if the gunner can enter scanning mode or missile mode while in the turret, because using those modes (especially scanning) on the reverse arc really enhances the Scorpius' potential as a recon bird. From the perspective of a target, though, I think this is one terrifying ship. With its combination of speed and firepower, there's not much that a solo trader can do if jumped by a Scorpius, since the only viable transport that can outrun it is the MSR. Without a gunner, though, I imagine at least a few Scorpius pilots will imagine that either (A) 4x s2 guns on gimbals is still pretty scary, or (B) they're elite enough to fly with fixed s3's and use their convergence range to best advantage. With that in mind, I'd say that the time of the multicrew trade run might be at hand, since most traders' turrets can equal the firepower of a solo-piloted Scorpius, or at least endanger it long enough to ruin its attack angle and ruin the brief window where s3 convergence would be deadly. Better to give a share of a successful run to a good gunner than lose it all trying to outrun a Scorpius.

It will get evened back out again, I imagine - and several times, at that. With the turret either on a blade or controlled by the pilot, the Scorpius is again a monster of epic proportions, one that would even make a Hercules with 2 large shields think twice. But, those same blades or NPC crew give just as much to trader turrets as to the Scorpius. I think it's still advantage: Scorpius, though.

My advice after spending time in both is A: pick the one that matches your style the best and B if you’re a min max type of person pledge the Hurricane and hold a ccu to the Scrop. You can always ccu up but it’s a real pain to go back. I really like the size and profile of the Hurricane but generally everything else about the scorpius just feels better to me. X wing or not it’s a nice looking ship and when you sit in the pilots seat it really sets the setting of a sci fi game for my taste.

That was a really good review pretty much right on the money. I think CIG needs to organize their thoughts on what a heavy fighter is. Is it more guns? Or the total package. Too me the vanguard series represent what a heavy fighter is. Heavily armed, larger in size, a 2500 quantum fuel tank. Thus you behave as a heavy fighter in the same way that designation would be carried in RL. The tiny fuel tank of the scorpius drops it right out of the heavy fighter category in my view. It cant possibly be a forward deployed heavy fighter if it carries the same fuel as a light fighter. Its quantum fuel tank should at least be 2000. I have this ship, enjoy it, have not flown it with a gunner yet, and when I do I know I will enjoy it much more. But flying solo I would feel more comfortable in any Vanguard or say a Drake Buccaneer or my Hornet. I also will say that if you fly with wings out, as you pointed out, losing a gun is quite easy. This means I find I gotta be a bit standoffish in the scorpius.....but its really fun to fly....but not really a heavy fighter in my book. Thanks again for the great review.

The only real problem with this ship at the moment is the convergence issue. When you swap out the Wingtip Guns with size 3's the guns converge at about 800-1000 meters out. what that means is if a smaller more nimble ship like a Gladius or Arrow gets inside of 500 or so meters they get very hard to hit and impossible to hit with all 4 guns as your shots are converging behind your target. Fixed guns do gimble a little to try to compensate for this but the hardpoints are so far apart on the Scorpius it's not enough to compensate. This is a big weakness of the Scorpius at this time.

this is a bug. As a rule of thumb if you loose a piece of your ship in battle (a thruster or turret or gun) .. DO NOT attempt to land and repair the ship, counterintuitively this actually persists any modular damage to the ship and the only fix is a character reset after you've done that. Instead, if you F4 inspect your ship and see big pieces missing, self destruct when you're finished with your bounty session, or fly it right near a station, EVA into a pad's elevator and reclaim your ship without actually landing it (I do this all the time). I suspect most SC youtubers (like @farrister) ) aren't actually playing the game all that much and don't encounter these kinds of issues. Nor is it unique to the Scorpius btw (I permanently lost a turret gun on my vanguard for example).

the scorpius has a little bit more pilot dps, is more maneuverable, has more hull hp, and has more missile dps.

The Scorpius is actually far superior to the Hurricane. Thanks to 4 x S3 weapons for the pilot having more DPS than 2 x S4, plus the enhanced maneuverability and speed of the Scorpius, the Hurricane doesn't stand a chance in 1 on 1 combat with both ships having gunners and pilots of equal skill. All you need to do to realize just how important the maneuverability increase is - is fly a big ship. Sluggish ships are far more difficult to keep on target in combat, that's why it takes so much skill to take down smaller, faster ships with either of the Crusader Ares Star Fighters or any of the Aegis Vanguards. The Scorpius gives us handling only slightly more sluggish than the Anvil Hornet - a much smaller fighter, very impressive indeed - so long as it doesn't suddenly get nerfed...

You shouldn't expect to keep shooting through folded wings. That is unintended and confirmed by CIG. The real money price is $240. It's on warbond sale for 220 for a limited time at launch. I might be in the minority but I don't like the looks of the Scorpius. The hull and engines are great but the wings are too big and clumsy.

Would make the turret a lot less appealing for players though - why take a Scorpius with gunner seat, when you could just take 2 Scorpius? Puts a 2v2 at a disadvantage for multi-crew

Agree... I would like to see all ships have solo control over all the turrets...or at least some ability to enable them for automated defense...

I am an baker from 2012 - CR and friends ripped off some ships that used to had slaved turrets...I always said, damn man we are suppose to be so far in the future...there must be a chip or software than could control that turret...Why getting rip of such gimmick in the first place...maybe forcing you to play less solo with such a powerful gimmick....

Only 2 bad things to say about it after a week of testing. Needs at least 1 more MFD and desperately needs more acceleration power. Everything else is really nice.

I do love the ship but i would not class it as a "heavy fighter" for me a heavy fighter got hard hitting guns and armor, gimballed s2 is not a heavy fighter loadout and fixed s3 could have been good if the filot you're fighting aint flying all over the plane and you are limited to 41 shots compared with the gimballed s2 that got 63 shots and well "aim-assist". I expect the heavy fighter tag to come from the turrent same as the hurricane. Solo for player bounties aint to recommend in this ship

Think ill go for the Scorpius, the Hurricane is just plain and dull and a typical look for a fighter, BORING.
