I would like to see an explorer variant of the Imp Courrier with a basic hull mass of 25 tons instead of 35 tons
Hard points: 1M (central), 2S (wings)
Utility mounts: 2 (PD, must be roof mounted)
PP: 4 (no change - needed for low emission, thermal spread enhancements to reduce chance of sleep-deprived screw-ups when scooping)
Thrust: 3 (no change - enhanced-dirty-drag needed for rapid surface exploration and enhanced joy of surface-skimming at c850m/s)
FSD: 4 (the main request - class 5 would be even better)
LS: 1 (no change)
PD: 3 (no change - needs to be able to manage enhanced-dirty-drag and class 4 FSD)
S: 1 (self-explanatory)
FT: 3 (no change)
Opionals: 5 (Guardian FSDB), 3 (Fuel Scoop), 2 (PVH), 2(2D Shield) ,1 (anti-corrosion cargo rack - just in case of finding something new), 1 (DSS), 1(docking compuer - after months in the black, even a tiny risk of losiing everythiing is very stressful)
Happy for it to cost the same as a Cutter but I want massive range (north of 100LY) and the ability to surface skim at c850m/s. Am not actually asking for much: shrink two hardpoints, lose two utilities, lose 1 optional size 2, and shrink sensor in exchange for reduced hull mass, a class 5 optional (GFSDB) and a class 4 FSD (or class 5 if you are feeling generous).
