FD has been loathe to change the configuration of the Cutter/Corvette. The last changes were the military compartment and recently, the automated SC, though not unique to the two.
I agree, but it would be nice for them to do so (consider it). Just my opinion of course. They have implemented sillier things.
I mean after all, we do have the 'magical mystery bus' in the conda, so what exactly does so-called lore (which gets modified as the writers see fit) and precendence have to do with anything in this ever changing game?
