+rep for the fake rage.
On second thought -rep.
Fake rage is over used in this forum!
Perhaps a better idea. Include the option to remove it in the ship kit instead.
If it was a retractile

Dear RNGesus, I've gotten to the point where I slam on the brakes and hit the vert thrusters on my Corvette every time I see that SK nose in the mail slot. Half the time I'm ramming the station because a Dolphin was coming through, but just as often it's a Beluga refusing the make way for my bigger ship.
In light of requests like this, I personally hope they include Chrome rocket nozzle attachments and extenders on future released ships, especially ones that are actually retro models like the Krait.
The Krait could have reaaaallly long nozzle extensions that split into multiple ones. It could also come with a reaaaallly big bored version. Both would make it much louder (inside your cockpit and Stations only though cos space), and add an extra 15m/s speed!
They also double up as a weapon, if someone interdicts you (or not), as you boost infront of them they're knocked off angle by 80° due to the sheer thruster force being directed behind them for x distance. (why isn't this actually a thing?)
As an added bonus, if you boost passed a ship in a station, you'd have a chance to reboot/reset their ship's systems.
We should also have the option to turn any size 3 or above compartment into Sub-bays, which would have twin Subwoofers and an anodized amp taking up the entirety. These would enable a hidden 'Pirate' music Channel within Galnet, where you hear stories of CMDRs interdicting low-level pilots in big ships and obliterating them in the most hilarious ways while not actually having any interest in their cargo, 'cos true Pirates yo.
Also for new Utilities, they should add Chromed and LED edge-lit spinning disks of various sizes and patterns. They'd spin faster the faster you go in NS only and would act as a defensive mechanism.
When your shields are down, they'd have a chance to deflect incoming Laser fire back at the enemy!
Multiple sized landing gear (smaller landing gear would make your 0-60m/s increase but top speed when landing gear extended would decrease. Opposite effect for oversized landing gear, except shock assistance is also decreased so landing haphazardly will damage your ship more), a variety of seating options, interior structural integrity bracing and the ability to smoke external lighting so it's less visible to other ships both in-person and on radar, are but a few other options I think should be included.

Yep, wish there was a way to smash it off or something, like hooking it on the mailslot and leaving it ripped off floating and spinning there. Then having an option not to replace it like the paint degradation level.

If the ship kit added parts to make it look less spoiler/rear wing like, then I would have found it acceptable. But instead they add another spoiler to the spoiler.
To me that is unforgivable. I just won't ever buy that ship when I feel like getting one of the big ships.

Are you kidding me? Those wings are very important to Scoop the SWAG in the void. Only by the power of these wings the Type 10 has any meaning to VIP-Style and Bōsōzoku Tuning fans!
(which I am definitely NOT)

I loved concept of t10 but damn is it ugly with that spoiler and so underwhelming despite potential firepower it's quickly picking up dust.
+1, unless their going to give us those fluffy dice we've been requesting for so long in which case I'd like to keep the wing and add racing stripes and spinners for the thrusters.
Seriously though, we should at least have the option to remove it. I don't know what the designer must have been smoking when they decided to make that atrocity non optional.

I find the spoiler gives me some much needed downforce while im busy mining, and with the extra spoilers in the ship kit, I can coordinate a full suite of minig lasers and limpets with out worrying about loosing grip on the tail end of my ship...
./Sarcasm
Im not a fan of the spoiler, and they do seem to be an overused means of adding detail to a ship design without actually having to do any work designing anything.
BUT..
It's not like I can see it without resorting to vanity cam, so I dont really care. I dont remember having scraped the top of the slot with it either, so its never really been a problem for me o.0
It'd be nice if it could reduce systems damage to modules when a shot passes through it, but im pretty sure that'd be an absolute nightmare to code for.

I think that they should let you guys remove it and the two utility mounts with it.
FD - please increase the size of the spoiler on the Type 10, its clearly not big enough.
For those of you that like a good
I have a suspicion we will see (or feel) the benefit of these spoilers when atmospheric planets arrive
Putting a spoiler on a brick doesn't make it aerodynamic.
It’s not a spoiler, it’s a lifting surface.
