Make the Type 7 a medium ship

Um...no. T9 can carry 758t with size 5 shield, Cutter can carry 730t with size 6 shield (or 762t if you are lucky and have a legacy engineered size 5 shield with +10% optimal mass), Anaconda can carry 454t with size 4 shield. Even the Corvette beats that with 586t and size 5 shield.

Show the loadout then. I bet you don't have half the stuff that it needs if you can haul 730t
Plus, fully loaded with 730t, what's the jump range? Can it even make it to the next nearest system?
I managed to get just over 600 by sacrificing the shield, remember that two of the bays are military bays and can't take a cargo rack. Fully loaded with cargo and a class A FSD, it could only do a little over 10Ly.

A 10 ly cutter? Apologies if it may sound obvious, but have you engineered your FSD? An engineered cutter does actually get better jump ranges than a T9 (size 7 FSD versus size 6).

Short on time so I might be repeating this, but...

If I remember correctly during the beta the Type 7 was introduced FDev said the reason it was sized as a large is because the 3d model is physically too Tall to fit into a medium size bay as they exist in the stations.

So changing the size of the Type 7 isn't just a matter of back-end changes, either the ship model would need to be changed or medium sized bays would need to be changed.

Another one of those early FDev ship design "oopsies" that had ramifications far beyond what they anticipated.

My Cutter carries 752t. I have one of those legacy shields. 0MJ shield strength is a bug, Coriolis can't handle legacy modules anymore, it has 3100MJ. If I run a CG with it, I drop the scoop and FSD booster to get the full 762t.
