EpisparhImperial Courier is not very good combat ship as its name suggest different applications.
I concur, but that mostly depends on what kind of flight-to-fight philosophy you use. If you fly it as a bigger Eagle Mk II, then you should be okay. When you fly the Courier, you want to do something rather illogical on paper: flying the stock Lightweight or Reinforced Alloys, because any change of mass heavily influences this ship in maneuverability. Alternatively, you may try experimenting with Guardian Shield Reinforcements, aside of standard 3x Shield Boosters*, but then you really need to know your limits and when to flee - because you will be boned once the shield goes down.
Example of that idea for PVE, with no serious engineering applied though.
*NEVER fly without chaff in a small ship unless you know what you are doing.

SakashiroIs anyone here going to participate in the Odyssey alpha? I'm pondering which DLC to preorder.
Indeed, I have pre-ordered the alpha. Can't wait!

You are talking absolute bollocks, my friend. The Courier is amazing in combat with its hard points being tightly packed together, plus being small and agile. The thing is an absolute beast when outfit correctly.

Hull tanked with railguns is the right way to combat-fit a 'winder.

I usually never pre-order. I wait patiently, have a giggle at the bugs and people who spent extra money and then get it when it's cheap. Not this time tho

Can I see that proper build? Seriously, I know that it can get up to 1700+ MJ raw but then the speed is joke and the damage output is same as Viper. Vulture is far superior.
I do not see it as a ship that can spend a day in CZ or Haz RES.... and definitely not without any engineering.

Btw I'm using scramble spectrum on one of my lasers now. It does funny things to those NPC ships.

Pre-order just on a marketing video which is combination of footage and art with no actual release date is something I wouldn't support ever nor I have plans to be a Tester for Frontier.
Tell this to "Star Citizen" players =D

Everyone can make owns judgment. IMHO, those are not players but victims. Backing a project during a kick starter is one thing but failing for such low baits after is a different story.
This is exactly a behavior I would not support. We still do not know what the game play in Odyssey will be nor we know release date. So why bother with pre-order? There is not limit for accounts that will have access to it nor digital licenses require production and delivery to actual location. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
