Having it on a 'Vette actually makes sense if you fit for SIGINT, electronic warfare, command and control duties etc. For example a 'Vette equipped with xeno scanners, DSS, wake scanner, limpets and other goodies sent to recon mission into thargoid controlled systems comes to mind.

Definitely will be taking a look at the DBX. I agree that it is puzzling that these aren't made for all the ships that could feasibly have them, I have to agree that the radar dish would really work on the Kraits! Is Arf meddling again?
Zacks twin huge fists of justice don't do science, but then the roles of ships have been long forgotten.
Plus, what a missed opportunity for the Federations Beefy Battle Boi to get a real dish (twin retractable fists nonwithstanding)

I know right? I sometimes stand in awe scratching my head thinking, WTH were they thinking?
Like an Artemis suit with pre-fitted combat movement speed and quieter footsteps? I suppose you never know - you may need to quickly sneak up on an aggressive tussock.
I really like those new kits ... personally I only wish to have such one also for Imperial clipper which I use the most in Thargoid occupied space. But some other may be interesting too eventhough already mentioned Phantom is a ship which I use very often for exploration trips.
Ship kits for ships that haven't got any at all yet when ? #boycott

I appreciate these new cosmetics and hope the community will take opportunity to support FDev where possible. If the player base wants fdev to be able to continue to work on the game, or even expand their efforts, it has to be financially viable for them to do so - they have investors, creditors and shareholders just like any other plc
Indeed.
But on the flip side of the coin, FDev should be listening to the what the player base wants and act accordingly *
* where possible/viable **
** and I'm sure they already are ***

Yes... it could get a bit unwieldly
its cynical to assume they arent very much aware of what the player base would like. They dont have unlimited resources and software dev isnt simple. They're probably doing the best they are able to with the resources available - they want Elite to be the best it can be just as much as we do
the dea is good.... but it would be interesting to have these kits also interact with the game....
Maybe adding dedicated missions, or simplifying what a normal ship doesn't have as kits.
It'll do well with the 2x class 2 mod shards in the class 4 hardpoints
This would be essentially pay to win. Which was said a long ago would not happen, and that everything you can buy with real world money would be strictly cosmetic.
Delivering shrubbery can be quite dangerous in certain situations.
