My expected price point is probably waaay off... my guess is what I feel it’s worth but it’ll probably be closer to $200. IAE is almost here and it's going to be a great time (hopefully). Thank you everyone for being so awesome and hope you enjoyed!
$140? For an hornet ghost mark 2! In your dreams... $200 is where I price that at The base model Mark 2 is $175 so it is definitely not going to be cheaper than that
Hey just wanted to say you are my favourite channel when it comes to ship reviews, from your positive attitude and lightheartedness. How you make these videos for your son first and foremost but gained a following through it too, glad to see your channel grow.
Wow that battle was beautiful. The sunset looks incredible and seeing the tracers streak in the sky without seeing the pip of the HUD felt so cinematic. Excellent review as always evenlease!
Honestly, I love the new ghost. Will it be a bit of a glass cannon, yep, but will it be zippy for its class, yep. Paired with how low it can get it's EM down with stealth components, even with military shields, it's about on par with it's cross section which is already nice and low. Going to be a fun ship. Though, I'm not a big pvp'er, so on that stance I really have to wait and see, but for general missions, going to be fun... even if I have to refuel every jump lol
thank you for making this video! also stat wise it sounds like the mk1 is better in most areas as it has a lower detection range, better missile options, higher health and from what i can tell the same speed while the main things you get from the mk2 is higher dps with the two size 4's and the 96 decoys
Im not a huge fan of the hornets, but that ghost is a sexy looking bird. Way to expensive for something that can only do dogfighting, but a nice-looking ship regardless. Also, they have got to chill on the sparks ballistics hits cause. That is blinding lol
Thanks for the review! Appreciate seeing all the numbers in one place. I had the chance to see and try all the variants. It's extremely disappointing that the Ghost has zero new geometry other than the top module. The Tracker at least has a cool new nose, this one barely rates over a paintjob. It's also still not very stealthy, I think the gain is so tiny the drawbacks are definitely not worth it.
No Gold Standard?, well that is a shame, many such as myself didn't check for that important ommision. Melted the F8 for the ''Gladius/Arrow and Buccaneer, and was hoping for a Ghost/Tracker, but not the vanilla F7AMKII. Thanks fo the heads up.
I really like the Mk II, but it should go through the gold standard, as you mentioned. I like how they kept the mk I in the game. I will probably try renting one and seeing how it is.
God I want the Ghost MkII so badly. I absolutely LOVE the aspects and ideas of stealth gameplay and prefer it way more than traditional joust fighting. Another amazing video, thank you Even!
Still waiting for an honest to goodness take on the Starfury, even NASA loved it. I like this Mk2 Hornet, the lines are cleaner, the design less fussy despite having more wing bits than a swarm of bees. It's reminiscent of stealth and maintains an aggressive posture.
I was looking at getting a fighter, but after looking at my Corsair, it's basically a big clumsy fighter. I can get more dps than all the fighters I looked at trading my Corsair in for, and it has more hp. So I might just keep my Corsair.
I don't like the changes for the Corsair but I don't think it useless. I personally don't like the wings but the back cargo bay was way more convenient than the Connies. It's just that it came from a crazy strong solo position. I think in the end the Redeemer turned out OK too.
These are my favorite. Your videos are on point and you are so spot on with your timing. Keep up the Amazing work, if you want a collaborator please reach out.
The Ghost is the one that might keep me from regretting not snagging an f7a upgrade because I didn't trust the servers and none of my friends were playing ahah
Inexplicably, this stealth ship does not come with stealth components as stock. According to spviewer, It is also less stealthy than the Mk I, both as stock and if they are each given the best possible loadout. So apparently stealth technology at Anvil is getting worse, not better.
I really enjoy your reviews, it helped me a lot with my decisions, so thanks for that. I don‘t now, though, I am not a big fan of the fighter category. But really good review
Question. I have an F7A mkII. I have no reason whatsoever to look at the ghost stat wise correct? Because if I wanted a little more stealth, I could just swap components...
@@kevintsai8814 They do at least they have in the past. The hornet ghost should get a stealth increase based on the chasis. Putting all stealth components in a hornet doesn't make it to much less stealthy'r. The hornet ghost it will because of the chasis bonus. I've tried to load up on stealth components in a normal hornet and it didn't go down much. Now that was a year ago so much has probably changed since then.
nice ship can't wait to try it soon. Evenlease, did you realise the new patch released today just unlocked the entrance to guest waiting hall at IAE 2954 at Tobin Expo. I tried to buy some IAE T-shirt 👕 at the booth, then got kicked from the server. 🤣 The coffee maker no longer works in this new patch. But the overall gameplay is so smooth and graphics are more crisp. I think CIG just polished the game even more. I get 60-70 fps now compared to the old version I got 30-40fps. And the planets atmosphere loads beautifully. The inventory system works flawless now. If they refresh it to 4.0 patch on Thursday do you think it will get buggy again?
@cygnus6623 good to know. How was the verification download after the game crash? The verification download speed used to be 55-60 Megabytes per second. Now i get 350-850KByte seconds speed. I think the servers are on full bandwidth. That is good news as it shows people are downloading and excited to play the game. ☺️ What are you looking forward to at IAE 2054 this year?
Does the Mk II Ghost have a baked in 10% EM reduction due to the paint job like the Mk I? Love my Mk I and still have it. Hornet series (and my Gladiator) really give me that old school childhood fantasy vibe of those 70's and 80's Navy carrier aircraft. I like both the Mk I and Mk II but I do agree I wish the Mk I front engine intakes were tucked in a little bit. I hate that they made a Mk II with just outright larger gun mounts and I hope they don't just ignore the Mk I now that it isn't for sale. I don't want to get rid of it but it would suck to keep something for nostalgia that just isn't a viable option into the future.
@@EvenLease44 Oh nice! Although still annoys me that they dropped the Mk II and just seem to be making them outright better than the old Mk I instead of just giving that a polish pass.
its a bug, i assume the code for the fact that the f7a mk2 was stopped from putting its parts on the mk1 was mixed into the f7a mk2 not being able to put its parts on the variants of the same type.
I feel like they could've done so much more for the Ghost in this 'redesign'. For a so called stealth ship it doesn't really look like one outside of the dark color scheme. Too many random fins and exposed weapons that will increase it's signature and detection. Always been my complaint with their stealth designs. The artists should look at more real world designs rather than just slapping on a new paint and saying it's 'good enough.'
Nah set it up with tachyons and hard hitting size 4 on the ball turret. You could turn this into a sniper and shoot from 5k out or more and be totally invisible
no this will defenetly not be 120-140 my friend .. the mk2 normal is already much more expensive with 175 store credits, the ghost mk1 is 15 bucks more expensive than the regular hornet ( same for the tracker ) this thing will be 185-190 store credits so 165ish warbond
i mean yeah considering you cant get the f7a anymore through CIG means and the ghost and other variants will be available in-game, its pretty inevitable that it will be used more.
@EvenLease44 but you get my point about them creating a new stealth fighter when the first version of that stealth fighter was bought and sold and not finished? At least one of two things are wrong here.
I'll keep my F7A MKII and not look back. I'll put stealth components and all ballistics if I want to go quiet. Military - 15K min, 26.4K, 9K - 4 x Panthers Stealth - 2.7K min, 4.1K, 9K - 4 x Deadbolt III
the ghost does have better stealth then f7a even if it has all stealth components because it has a base stealth value of 28% without the components, i heard someone got the ghost mk2 down to like 1.8km detection or something like that.
@@liamseven1604 Nobody cares about stats, just fly the ship and enjoy it, its a game, meant to be fun, not humdrum. All that is nonsense anyway with the imminent new Radar and advanced scanning.....pointless.

Yeah, I expect this one to clock in with a $10 premium over the F7-C. Tracker $15
Yeah the regular f7c mkII is $175 so…
@@Riley8425yeah! Isn’t that ridiculous…
190$ Ghost, 200$ Tracker
$140? For an hornet ghost mark 2! In your dreams...
$200 is where I price that at
The base model Mark 2 is $175 so it is definitely not going to be cheaper than that
I agree. Thought about it a lot after I made this and came to the same thought process. I feel like the MKIIs are way to high a price.

Cool.
I look forward to Hornet Tracker and testing of its recon capabilities compared to other hornets and similar spacecraft.
I can guarantee this ship is going to be at least $60. Unlike weather forecasters I have a 100% prediction rate.
At least!
😂 no wonder why it's 100% 😅

That health pool is likely inteded as balancing. The Ghosts in lore swap out normal armour for void armour ie less hp but now
low observable.

I agree with you and the price is sure to be laughable.
Whoa! I do like the way it looks compared to the mk1. It's sharp looking!
Looks really smooth compared!
ooo I love the hornet mk2. I got to borrow my friends and I have wanted one ever since.
Yeah it’s quite the little fighter.
6:29 loving the battle music there
I love the mk.I the mk.II is a good upgrade. Little bit better, even slightly smaller. Almost perfect.

The original ghost was a really good deal, and often recommended as the go to Hornet, not sure this one is, time will tell. It looks cool though.
What I'm excited about is the ability to purchase the specialized equipment for use with the F7A.
Without this video, I wouldn’t know the difference between the ships 😅. Thanks, if I were to purchase a fighter it would def be a hornet!
Ill be getting these variants in game i think. Fighters are rarely worth the irl price in my opinion

Thank you!
These are my favorite. Your videos are on point and you are so spot on with your timing. Keep up the Amazing work, if you want a collaborator please reach out.
New to your Channel but I am enjoying the videos alot. Thanks
Welcome and Thank you!

I love this game! Star Citizen LTI Game pack?

I'm probably looking into getting this. Just love me some hornet!
My most beloved stealth ships are still the Prowler & Raven and as the Hornet Ghost has 51 HP more than the Raven it's obviously OP!
Love the options you picked!
What a neat little ship, and it was under 10 minutes! YOU CAN DO IT EVENLEASE!
Oh… whoops… 😬
Would be interested to see where it's priced. That's pretty much the deciding factor XD
I really enjoy your reviews, it helped me a lot with my decisions, so thanks for that.
I don‘t now, though, I am not a big fan of the fighter category. But really good review
Thank you!!
Saber is supposed to be a Lightning competitor not a Hornet competitor.
Very curious about the Tracker variant and just what capabilities that giant radar will provide
Now they just need to actually list all the center modules in the in-game stores.
Your channel is awesome!
Thank you! You’re awesome!
I wonder if we'll get a F7A-S MK II...
I expect this to be $185 if the 15 upcharge for the mk1 remains true, which is alot but still far under the heavy fighters
I might be an outlier here, but I prefer the MK I ghost over the MK II.
They are neat. But so crazy how much they can cost ya in game.
I am not a fan of making MK2 ships as then I don't see the use of the Mk1 but I will admit the Hornets look good as MK2s.
Keeping my Matte Black Hornet, looks so much cooler!@!
Nice paint on that bad boy!
Question. I have an F7A mkII. I have no reason whatsoever to look at the ghost stat wise correct? Because if I wanted a little more stealth, I could just swap components...
Exactly. At this time just get stealth components and that’ll work great for adding stealth.
I thought stealth ships get a bonus stealth % just from their chassis. I think most stealth ships get a 40% boost. Cpt foxy did some tests.
@@kevintsai8814 They do at least they have in the past. The hornet ghost should get a stealth increase based on the chasis.

i dont know if they are going to fix it but you can put the F7A turret in this thing and have 2 size 3 on top
thats intentional, originally you could also put the f7a nose turret on them as well but they removed that.
What recording software do you use?
Action! Recorder.
i had the Ghost MK 1 but this one looks so sleek
nice ship can't wait to try it soon. Evenlease, did you realise the new patch released today just unlocked the entrance to guest waiting hall at IAE 2954 at Tobin Expo.

@@AFRCPE It seems to be working good now. 🤞
I'm debating with if I want this one or if I want the F7C standard model 2
F7c is broken with the newest PU patch. I hope it will be remedied in 4.0 but who knows
@gogogadgetGlock yeah, there is a workaround for the f7a, but the c is broken atm
So let's say you can't get the 7a mounts would you compare this to a Saber since that's it's only price point competitor
Yeah I’d say so, it’s pretty competitive to the Sabre at least stock. The Sabre has 4 s3 hard points though.
This game would be a lot better if it followed such hopeful pricing like your $140 for this ship for the rest of the available vehicles
I doubt you'll be able to upgrade the ball in this one. It looks like that area is bespoke for the stealth-ey-ness. Just my guess.
It’s available in the vehicle options screen, even though it does look like it physically.
Do you lose stealth if you add the ball turret at the top?
Adding the ball turret it self has no change but when you add weapons to that it does take away a minor amount of stealth.
@@EvenLease44 I'm sure it has a weaker power plant than the F7A MKII?
Absolute Cinema

@@EvenLease44 Oh nice! Although still annoys me that they dropped the Mk II and just seem to be making them outright better than the old Mk I instead of just giving that a polish pass.
Where did you get this ship in 3.24.3?
You cant change the ball turret or nose turret... 3.24.3 made sure of that (this goes for the F7C MKII and the F7A MKII as well).
That is only a bug. It’s being fixed.
@EvenLease44 maybe, CIG did say they didn't want F7A parts on an F7C, maybe they got carried away
its a bug, i assume the code for the fact that the f7a mk2 was stopped from putting its parts on the mk1 was mixed into the f7a mk2 not being able to put its parts on the variants of the same type.

Wouldn’t be a terrible upgrade once they fix the stealth components on the MKII
Ghost mark 1 was like, 20 dollars more than regular mark 1? I dont think will cost less than 190 dollars.
Sadly I think you are right. A bit high a price too.
Cool review!!
Thank you!
Although this looks fantastic, the possible applications are unfortunately very limited if you want to stay stealthy.
Very true!
Nah set it up with tachyons and hard hitting size 4 on the ball turret. You could turn this into a sniper and shoot from 5k out or more and be totally invisible
@@Decompose_CorpseI love the idea of a sniper ship

Yeah… after i made this yesterday i sat on that thought for a long time and came to the same conclusion. See my pinned message 😂😅
@@EvenLease44 i sure hope tho that we get 2 new concierge skins since its 2 new concepts being released :P

Someday… all the older ships will hopefully get the love they deserve
@EvenLease44 but you get my point about them creating a new stealth fighter when the first version of that stealth fighter was bought and sold and not finished? At least one of two things are wrong here.
$190 is my prediction for the price. Lets see what is it going to be.
I think you might be right… sadly..
But, EL, it's brand new! It must be better, right?
Hah. If only.
ball turret swaps are not working in 3.24.3
Believe that’s only with the base model, I was able to swap the top out with the ball turret this yesterday.
noice its a very nice looking ship
yeah it's a little bit disappointing to have those new ships release unfinished, unpolished, guess they'll be stuck in limbo like others
Doesn’t make sense that these wouldn’t have the components/gold standard… they are new… why not knock it out before release?!?
It will bmost like be between 150$ and 180$
On another note, your outfit has so much fucking drip.
Nice armor bro
Thank you!
Not gold standard is strange... Who knows when they'll get around to all of this rework.
Yeah it’s super strange.
what is the spec of this ship please ?
Wait and see how much we will spend !
Sounds like the mk1 is better. I don’t see a benefit of this one over that one.
I think it's criminal that a stealth ship does not come with stealth components with real $. Lol.
There is a possibility what it has are place holder for new stealth components that are not in game yet.
Looks so good but guess it’s the grind for my broke ass cause I any paying $200
Yeah $200 is almost a hundred to much for this style ship imo.
REALLY WANT TO WIN GIVEAWAY
Ohh its less, whaat .heheheh keep it up o7
Thank you! Haha whoops!
I'll keep my F7A MKII and not look back. I'll put stealth components and all ballistics if I want to go quiet.
Military - 15K min, 26.4K, 9K - 4 x Panthers
Stealth - 2.7K min, 4.1K, 9K - 4 x Deadbolt III
That wont help much once the new Radar/Scanning drop.
the ghost does have better stealth then f7a even if it has all stealth components because it has a base stealth value of 28% without the components,

@@liamseven1604 Yes...but half the guns. By the time they detect the F7A, it will be...Oh shit!

i mean us f7a pilots are just gonna put our parts on the variants like the ghost and especially the super hornet.
