Falx is amazing!

[Project Danny]

So ever since the new 7.50 flight update ive been struggling with every ship feeling like its skating on ice even when fully modded they still slide and drift uncontrollably to the point i use the station as my break by crashing into it.

So randomly i saw a falx and im like thats a cool looking ship. Imo i think its the coolest looking M ship in the game.

So i brought one and i slapped on Split MK4 Engines.... and oh boy...

THIS THING FLYS AMAZING!

like i press Break and it instantly stops no drifting or skating on ice just instantly stops it also turns incredibly well no more slow motion turning like most ships have

btw i havent even modded this ship at all its just standard and it stops instantly and no skating on ice its amazing!

so if anyone hates the feeling of "skating on ice" and massive drifting that almost all ships have i recommend the Falx its like flying Pre 7.50

dont get me wrong i like the new flight model i just dont like the masive drifting and the huge skating on ice part (and again yes ive tried all engines and all ships and even modded they all drift way way to much and ice skate)

TLDR: Falx stops instantly and has 0 drift and dont ice skate

That's surprising. I thought this was largely supposed to come *from* the engines and Split are some of the driftiest ones.

Well if that's the case maybe the ship is bugged because I have 0 drift and 0 drag and the handling is amazing...

Only downside though is that the engines are so damn loud that all other sounds are muffled. I had to put music up to 100% and I still barely hear it.

Even the voices are drowned by the engine noise.

Then again what you expect when it has the most engines out of any ship in the game haha 6 engines lol

[Cellar_Cat]

I guess it could be something like that. Maybe under the new system so many engines just gives you really amazing thrust and they didn't feel it was worth redesigning the ship model over it.

Falx has always been great. Really handy having a S dock. Perfect ship for plots.

I'm getting used to the new flight models. Before they changed it I used to drift in, pew pew and boost away lol so it suits my combat nicely. It's great with Taus. Just drift in real close and let rip. Never gets old.

It was even better before v7.5 cause of highly sensitive boosting what almost instantly allowed reach maximum boost speed. In pairs with repair drone hull healing Falx was quite immortal no-brain-required ship. Not to mention other merits.
With just shield regeneration ticks it was possible to boost away from any danger and constantly reposition myself at the battlefield in the blink of an eye. Now its no longer possible... Its still a decent ship if used smart, but at v7.5 I'm leaning towards Katana with Composite hull mod.

Its was my favourite player ship, hope its not been too nerfed in 7.5.

[Cellar_Cat]

Wouldn't say it's been directly nerfed. The Terran engines are a bit slower on the whole now since their boost is more of a long duration low acceleration deal, but on the flip side it no longer consumes shields. And of course you aren't locked in to Terran engines, like with some races. Given how slowly M shields regen I think M ships came out ahead on the whole.

Cobra was my favorite for so long but lately the Falx has been catching up as my new favorite too.

Rather sounds to me they forgot to adapt the Falx to new flight model....
