It is pretty interesting little vessel; however, as a privateer it kinnda fails do to a few defects.

First thing i noticed was the abnormaly huge grav decks and the abnormaly long length of such a small craft. With a crew that size, you do not need more then one or two 50-90m grav decks. Also, your ships length is the same as a friggin McKenna. Bring it down just abit, lol.

Second, i would move the LRMs out of the Broadsides and into the For-Sides.

Third, if this thing is supposed to be a privateer then you are badly under cargoed. My personely suggestion is atleast 3,000 to 5,000 tons of cargo. Also, a docking collar or two would be good. after all, you are going to be hunting down merchent dropships and steeling there cargo. If you can do that, why not just steal the dropship.

On that note, you might want to consider a few more shuttles for boarding missions and about 50 or so more steerage passanger for any prisoners.

Now of course, none of this maybe possible, but it is what i figure should be changed.

On the size issue, I let HMAero give me the numbers. I don't recall adjusting them at all.

Grav decks and crew, again we run into the issues of HOW AT2r handles that and what is actually close to being decent enough to handle things.

The cargo/docking collars are good points, I think I can add one or the other. The shuttle bit can be worked on as well.

Prisoners...well now here is a touchy issue, they could be taken, which means less food for the crew etc...or left floating in space with the damaged vessels. Depends on how you see pirates and related groups operating. It is an area that could be worked in or something close to it.

Thanks for the ideas and comments.

Privateers are supposed to be working for a government, so their actions could reflect badly on the realm. Plain old pirates wouldn't care much for prisoners unless it's people to recruit or ransom.

True, but most privateers are just a cou[le steps above being pirates themselves.

Its a good idea, and has decent firepower. Enough to blow up a couple dropships or atleast capture them. Somewhat low armor at glance, until you remember its capital scale.
