Lower the license level needed for the Vulture XT
Currently, the license level needed for the Vulture XT is 4/4/0/0/0.
In comparison:
The Guardian is 3/3/-/-/- and the Vulturius is 2/2/-/-/-.
The XT has more mass than the SVG and the Vulturius. The XT has less thrust than the Vulturius and SVG. Less turbo thrust and armor than the SVG. It's spin torque is below the other two specialized vultures (at 7.0). And its 57/s turbo drain means a vulture Mk III is a better choice as a chase ship. Even a Vulture Mk 1 has a turbo drain of 54/s, beating out the XT.
The XT really has no stand out features.
I'd suggest reducing the license levels to 2/2/-/-/- so it is more in line with the Vulturius. As a positive: UIT pilots get access to a interesting ship earlier on, before they move on to better ones. The faction levels to buy the ship are +439 biocom, and these should remain.
I don't really see any negatives. This ship (as is) is not in competition for Serco's or Corvus's variant. The ship costs 59,950 credits , which is already a barrier.
