The latest addition to the Supermarine stable has become an instant hit with pilots that favour an aggressive flying style. Six weapon positions make this ship a gun platform without peer when compared to other small fighters. Neither speed nor manoeuvrability have been compromised and there are only a few ships currently available that can out run it. Officially designed for the military as a Capital Ship escort, many suspect that its real market positioning was to take advantage of the lucrative privateer sector. Although Supermarine strongly denies this claim, sales seem to confirm the rumours and if you own a Hornet then expect to attract the attention of the local constabulary.
