One more hardpoint, please :D

Show one of my favorite ships a little love and give the Dolphin a medium hard point to go with the two small. This would make it the perfect "little brother" to the Orca, which has two medium and one large HPs, and if you put that medium hard point on top, you could have this meme!

Seriously, why is the most expensive small ship relegated to the same sad weapon loadout as a free Sidewinder? Even the humble Adder has a medium hard point!

BTW, it's not just about combat, now that mining relies on medium hard points as well.

Dolphin is one of my favorite too. I have 1 class 5 luxury cabin in mine and it's the ultimate long distance VIP passenger explorer. Only the most obnoxious elite clients can reserve tickets.

But yes, not only does it need a Med hardpoint, the 2 smalls are even worse than the sidey. I practically have to pitch at a 90 degree angle to hit my targets with them due to their horrid placement on the underbelly. I usually just go with mines for a more surefire escape.

Seeker missiles are my current go-to, like a James Bond car They are less susceptible to "arc cutoff" than gimbal weapons.
