I agree with the type 6 idea, it wasn't much of a fighter!
I has the same kind of feel astheticlly as the Diamondback but we'll have to wait and see what the Diamond back's capabilities are!
As for Clipper.... are you kidding me.... no sir!

Type 6 is too much of just-a-hauler I think. I go with Asp.
The firefly class ships were manufactured unarmed as freight ships so... My vote is very clearly for the Type 6. When properly upgraded the T6 has a very free feeling for a hauler. It's fantastic for smuggling and if flown with skill and attentiveness, can get away from just about anything out there.... And if you really need to take a reaver by surprise you can strap a turret or two onto the hull... Better be ready to run though once you them off.
I remember pondering this when ED first came out, and had a look at the numbers, both in size and cargo capacity, and...
...it seems the Firefly is about Python sized, at least when comparing ship length. The Firefly is more spread out with its design, so it's not quite the compact package that the Python is. However, it's supposed to be able to carry some 300-some tons too...
The numbers are just too different from one universe to the other. Plus the Firefly doesn't have the firepower either.
