To whom it may concern,
I have an idea. Given that Lakon is in dire financial trouble and they want (like any corp) to liquidate assets ASAP to try to at least mitigate some of the economic shortfalls; that they take any excess Alliance Chieftain Frames rip out the 3 military compartments replace them with standard class 5 modules. Keep the hardpoints as they are.Beef up the thrusters and frameshift drive 1 class and rename it the Hoplite or Centurion. Basically make it a viable all-round vessel. I love the look of the Chieftain;but those military compartments take away from utility. Were this alternate ship made by your designers; I would pay 20 mill credits without blinking. It would be an Excellent miner and could carry all those tools PLUS be able to defend itself if necessary. Also some variant SRV's would be cool as well as the ability to modify them to specific tasks. Also SRV & ship racing could be cool.
