It was never a particularly good ship and the T-7 is already filling its niche in Elite Dangerous [1], but the Lion Trader from FE2/FFE looks pretty much exactly like a Zorgon Peterson heavy trader would.
Bringing back the Osprey X from FFE, but giving it the Mamba treatment and sizing it up to Medium, to give the Empire some sort of tanky heavy fighter for CZs, might be a good idea.
[1] A problem with a lot of the ships - they'd just be largely cosmetic variations on a ship which already exists, but without the Fed/Alliance/Krait-series advantage of looking like that existing ship and therefore being quicker to model/paint. Moray when we get water worlds is an obvious exception.
