So, the insain people at core dynamics that made the vulture. What if they made a medium pad ship. Like a vulture+. Im thinking FDLish levels of maneuvering and two huge hardpoints. Or one huge and two med. This would slot in around 25m, and would serve as a direct upgrade to the vulture.
Other than the alliance ships, we dont really have any low end medium ships (combat wise at least) so this ship would be to fill that role.
We also have this problem in the large size. You want a combat ship? Welp its the big 4 or nothing. What if we had a lesser ships on the large pads, in the 70m range. I mean, to go from a full a rated FDL to a full a rated conda and that is several million. The anaconda stock costs about as much as the FDL a rated.
Im hoping thats the roles the mamba light and the glaive ships that were leaked might hold.
EDIT: please dont just bash the type 10. Its actually quite a competent ship, and it may not be as good as the conda but does stand pretty close. I have and do use both, and I actually do better in high CZ in the type 10.
