I doubt the T7 will be changed now. The only thing that could happen is that they could release another trading ship and do like they did to the T6 to make the Keelback, a new version toughened up a little. ...
actually, they did something to the FDL, giving it a bigger powerplant without chaning the ship itself
hauler in elite dangerous differ from anything i am used as "trading ships" in space games. Trading ships should be Cargospace with huge engines to move that mass. and due to the performance of their reactors, they should not have even the slightest issue shooting with small turreted weapons infinitely.
the weapon placement on the T6 never made sense to me (two small front mounts) as their location is very bad for turret mounts...
same with the T7. two of the four slots are forward only mounts, while the sides and the back is barely covered by the remaining two "turrets"
last but not least... why do those ship come with fixed pulse lasers, not turreted by default?
