The Free base model, Lynx Highliner is grabbable on the ARX store now. If this is the same as previous ARX based ships you're going to want to outfit it with MK2 modules (so the cabins!) etc. before you run with it.

The Buur Pit

Quick headsup folks... it's a very quiet week in Elite Dangerous again, so we're taking advantage of the Easter Holiday period for some much needed R&R. As a consequence there will be no Witchspace News today. ICYMI However ...be aware there is a new CG in the bubble that is rewarding a fully G5'd and modded Maverick Suit.

It's literally an easter egg hunt ....I wish I was kidding, but it really is an easter egg hunt, atop the Radicoida in HIP 87621. Details here: inara.cz/elite/communitygoals/

Suit is very worth having if you don't own one already at the very least.

Have a great weekend, everyone o7

Mk II Plasma Shock Accelerator
A large, fixed mounted Shock Cannon with some alterations - This is a plasma-based weapon making it equally effective against shields and hull, and features full auto burst-fire with a built in plasma slug modification, meaning it will use the ships fuel for ammo. The Kestrel Mk II has 3 large hardpoints, allowing players to potentially fit up to three of these new weapons.

Mk II Agile Boost Thrusters
Size 5 class A thrusters with a unique boost feature that further increases pitch/yaw/roll manoeuvrability while boosting. This allows for greater lateral and vertical thrust acceleration when boosting due to the thrust not immediately being sent to forward thrust but instead, taking into account any lateral or vertical thrust at the time of boosting and then building towards full forward thrust boost power.

New super random Galnet post... Is this hinting at a medic function / class for operations maybe ...or a power-up perhaps.... Theories? O7
