Give this 50 cu cargo space and it would make a nice pirate ship.

No, it should have nerfed cargo space, thanks for the reminder. It's a bomber, for bombing capships and stations. Ya know, military stuff.

Yeah, it wouldn't make a good pirate ship even with 50cu - too slow.

I'm having trouble imagining where the rear turret would fit. +1 though.

+1. Devs, that's +1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000009. You better get to it.

Give it to XX.

Right above the center engine, kinda angled like the one on the Atlas is.

Give it to XX.
As long as it's also sold in Deneb O-3 and Geira O-4.
I still find it amazing that these presumably war-profiteering UIT corporations have various souped-up weapon designs that they don't even sell to the front-line barracks of the biggest war in the galaxy.

I guess the only one with any sense to pursue lucrative defense contracts is Ineubis.

Ya, just do it.

+1, should be sold as a war vessel by major factions (+700 standing required) Perhaps there could be both Serco and Itani varients with different perks.

EDIT: and maybe a UIT varient with half armor, and one small port instead of turrets. (mining)

+1, but make combat speed 55 m/s instead of 65.

I thought about this, but decided not to put that in there for a couple reasons. That's a huge nerf. HUGE. It affects the acceleration and deceleration curves of the ship by a lot and also renders it pretty much immobile unless turboing. A large part of why the Raptor sucks so bad is because of it's 60m/s strafe speed. Even the Behemoth goes 65m/s...

I'd prefer a new model for something that extensive, rather than using the Rag all over. Simply give it to XX and sell it in Deneb and Geira.
