Why the Hornet? This model is underutilized, although it seems to fit best as a multi-role assault craft. Unlike the Ragnarok, its size and mediocre maneuverability aren't quite balanced by its firepower in PvP and I think the addition of a mannable turret would help. This variant trades cargo and a shade of engine power for some extra armor and a turret. The mass of the turret is included.

With an extra set of eyes manning the guns on the underbelly this model might be seen making an appearance in Border Skirmishes or Hive Skirmishes.

I like.

I can see this being used in BS and the like. Good for taking out bots, and the turret helps keep things off of its behind.

Nice idea, very balanced.
You forgot the top cruising speed by the way!

Thanks, fixed.

Anything that gives the Hornet love is good in my books.

Yes, yes.

If there is any ship that could benefit from a player-operated turret, it's the hornet. I'm all for it.
