They already have... T10D has 9 Weapon hard-points (4 L+ 3 M+ 2 S)
All 4 of the big ships (T10D, Anaconda, Corvette, Cutter) only have 8 Utility slots... not 10.
Chieftain Size and perhaps other specs

I think the Krait is going to be a Cobra Mk3 meets the Keelback rather than the FdL.
The Chieftan IMO will be a mix of the FAS and Gunship minus the fighter.
The ship appears to have 2 medium slots at the front but what is the slot on the top?
It looks to be a C3 or a C4?

It looks like a pulse laser, possibly C4. I'd have to check.

Thats what im thinking because it looks too big to be a C3.
However if it is a C4 then the size of the front HP looks a bit too small to be a C2 but i really dont see it having 2 C3s unless it only has 3 HPs
Yes, I'm looking at getting my Anaconda and refitting it to carry the modules. So far I've spent close to $2 million shipping the hull and modules around, while doing the rest of the legwork with other ships.
Actually, I've skipped my last two play sessions, because I'm really not sure all this investment of time in the FGS is going to actually be worth it (mainly due to weak shield concerns). Hence the idea of just selling it, and starting over with an Anaconda for anti-Thargoid play, instead of a really experimental FGS that may not work out as well.
Sorry for OT, BTW.
I think on top you have 2 smalls and 1 large which would be an interesting combo.
Here are my hopes for the Chieftain:
1. Medium size
2. Decent jump range
3. If it's Alliance rank locked, I hope there is some consideration for those of us who have been allied with the Alliance before there was any material reward for doing so.
Also, the ship kind of looks like an upgraded version of my beloved DBX, so I'm excited to try the ship in game.

The central HP is definitely a C3, and the other 2 are C2 because they have AX missiles equipped (unless we are getting small AX weapons soon).
Good point!
Pretty sure it's going to have a footprint like a clipper, with the wide nacelle spread. Feel like this will make my clippers obsolete with its fighter bay though. Predicting that it won't have the top speed of the clipper, but will have better maneuverability. Betting on 50/50 hull shield ratio where the clipper is solid on shields and feds are better hull tanks. Looking forward to grind up a few.

The Clipper has absolutely horrible shields.
Are you saying the shields on comparable fed ships are better?
With engineering - I'm always sitting over 1k while boosting about at 550. Is that bad for a 22 mil credit ship?
I think the only question is, does the Chieftan punch above its weight?
From the description, it certainly sounds punchy!

I thought punching above its weight was mostly a Star Citizen meme. 
Same. I'm not expecting it to the beat the DBX or AspX. Breaking the 30 LY barrier without engineering is all I'm looking for.

That's a C3 pulse laser, the C4 is a very different model. Where's the image from?
I'd laugh if the Chieftans weapons layout was an upside down FAS
Honestly its looking that way, unless they surprise us with a huge...I'd laugh if the Chieftans weapons layout was an upside down FAS
