I going on this bandwagon and request for:
1. an additional large hard point below the nose and/or an upgraded C5 slot for a fighter hanger; OR
2. folding nacelles to land in Medium pads [yesnod]
I think the 2 medium guns should be upgraded to large to give it 4 large. It would still have very real shortcomings but become a lot more tempting in comparison to the Python then.
Its extremely agile so I don't see the need for a fighter bay though.
I think it should be one of the other ie. upgrade the guns to make it a more menacing large ship, or reduce its size to give it access to medium ports and their missions/commodities.
I'd like to see a new Imperial medium ship that would be more of an explorer.
And yes ....ship kits !!
