As has been pointed out already, the T10 is a pretty unique and fairly balanced ship as it currently stands.
I have at least one of every ship and find the T10 fine as-is but it does really require different tactics to the other big ships. It may not be an alpha damage monster like the Corvette, a speed king like the Cutter, or a (albeit flawed) multi-role like the Anaconda, but it can still be effective and resilient combat vessel... at least for PvE.
If I were to make ONE change then it would be to upgrade the two forward only S hard-points to M but that is more a matter of convenience than necessity. Personally, I think any further re-balancing of the T10 is unjustified and unwarranted.

The t10 is very slighty wider and very very slightly taller ( maybe 1m) the beluga is slightly less wide and about 80m longer

The t10 is almost twice as wide if you remove the useless wings/spoiler of the beluga
It's flat out worse than the 'Conda. If the Type 10 isn't UP, then the 'Conda is OP.
What about your useless spoiler and wings
I disagree - the key point is they require slightly different tactics to both equip and fly. That does not make either better or worse than the other - just different.
I honestly believe that people who try to say the t10 is fine the way it is either dont really fly one consistsntly and/or havnt used it in pvp combat.
Just because it CAN do things doesnt mean it does them well or competatively.
I think the deniers just dont want another big competator.
Why would you pick a T10 over a Conda?
Facts of t10:
1. It IS too slow. WAY to slow, its so slow it doesnt wven make sense. Even its SC turning speed is a complete joke.
2. Its hindered by terrible shields and an underpowered PD. There is no reason a medium ship (the python) shoukd have the same size PD as a ship the size of a sky scraper.
9 hardpoints.... size 7 PD makes no sense

Because the anaconda is incredibly boring and souless
I'm not saying you can't buy a T10, just that you can't say you picked it because it's good.
Its not THAT bad
It's worse than a Conda, everywhere, pretty much. You want a good ship, get a Conda. You want something because you like it, then you might get a T10. It's head vs heart.
But just because its worse doesnt mean its bad
The logic is.. That the conda is better in pretty much every aspect.
Its faster.
It jumps further.
It can havee more armor
can have 3x the shields
COSTS LESS TO OUTFIT
the type 10 has no purpose because of this.
I think I understand what you mean. I mentioned it before. Conda is OP, the T10 isn't UP.
Exactly !
I honestly believe that some in these forums are overly focused on certain metas and do not truly understand combat balance at all (or at least not well enough to judge the T10 fairly) - looking at a large number of the PvPers in these forums who seem to think fixed weapons are the only weapons that matter.
Every one of the primary big 4 (T10, Anaconda, Corvette, Cutter) have positives and negatives in their designs - relatively speaking. If I am after a quick kill, then I would pick either the Corvette or the Cutter - the Anaconda or T10D would be furthest from being my first choice. If I am after a truly resilient ship, then the Cutter and T10D would both be in the running - the T10D is a slow-ish slugger and has some tactical benefits due to hard-point positioning - the Corvette is also pretty resilient and would probably rank on-par with (if not better than) the T10D depending on the tactical circumstances. The Anaconda is a decent multi-role with reasonable hard-point positioning but the shape of the hull and the positioning of the under slung weapons are less than ideal - IMO the Anaconda is perhaps the weakest of the 4 from a general tactical perspective.

Better all round weapon positioning, tougher hull, cheaper re-buy. The Anaconda is tactically flawed in it's weapon positioning versus the other 3 big 4.
