Ships DB has a "3" for manuerverability? Typo?

Please say this is an error or oversight. With all of the other garbage stats on this poor ship, how could you stick a small "combat" ship with a lack of turning ability?

It's an error, it's probably 7 or 8 as I predicted. Still garbage, though.

Have you flown it? Does it feel sluggish like a cobra? Or more like a sidewinder?

Huh?

It flies (almost) like an Eagle with the speed of a Viper. The single weakness is the shield.

Oh it has a lot of weaknesses

You think that's bad? The courier has a manuverability of zero, and it shows. The thing takes 9.5 seconds to pitch a full 360, which is slower than the cobra if I remember right. I'm assuming the courier's horribad pitch rate is a bug, considering the thing looks like an eagle on steroids, but if its intended to pitch this slowly, its gonna need some rethinkin'.

Mike or Ed or someone confirmed on the other thread that it was an oversight. Its rating should be much higher than 3.

Thanks! Now if we can only get one of the class 3 compartments to be changed to a 4, and the ship can be legitimately called an explorer.
