Role: Light bomber/hunter. Right well I think Its a swell Idea because ATM there is no ship with two large ports that can chase down anything, this ship due to its armor would get chewed up if it used heavy weapons it will probably have to stick to Lport blasters and rockets. Its meant more of a hunter than a combat ship.
Name: Axia Banshee
Level req: 6/8/7/2/0
Hull Points: 8500
Cargo: 10
Weapon ports: 2 Large ports situated where the current small ports are.
Mass: 6200kg
Length: ~12m (ship model would be the same as wraith only scaled down by 7%)*
Thrust: 340KN
Spin Torque: 8.5
Top speed: 68m/s
Turbo Max speed: 220 (with a 20KN increase to boosting thrust)
Turbo Drain 57e/s
Efficiency zone: 190+ (When the ship reaches 190 m/s or more the drain is reduced to 53)*
Maneuverability comparison in Mass:Thrust ratio
Banshee 19:1
SCP 19:1
TaurMk3 29:1
HogMk4 23:1
IDFValk 13:1
IBG 14:1
SVG: 16:1
Numbers are rounded, ship weight is an empty ship without a powercell or weapons. the shape and size of the ship will also affect maneuverability the ship should be about as maneuverable as a dual posi hog when loaded out with Dual Megaposi, however it has a much lighter armor, accelerates faster , has more weapons capabilities, is more efficient but it has a much larger profile.
All in all I think I did a pretty good job balancing it out. :)
PDA News Article: if this thing gets implemented.
When TPG discontinued the Wraith to manufacture the Revenent™(an inexpensive replacement), the Axia corporation saw huge sales on its upgraded Wraith variant, since the Axia Guardian Wraith was such a hit as a medium fighter, Axia engineers went back to the drawing board to rebuild a more combat capable ship.
After many frustrations with the old TPG design they were working with, the "Crew" rebuilt a new frame out of a new Xirite-Manganese-Aluminum alloy thats is considerably lighter but much more fragile, the ship also has a new state of the art power management computer nicknamed "Ares"(Leaked documents indicate that this was built with a backwards engineered prototype stolen from Valent Robotics) that makes the ships powerplant much more efficient at sustaining high speeds, the old TPG Gravitic were also replaced by a lighter more efficient drive somewhat similar in design to that of the EC 107.
The head of AxiaCorp Research and Development says that he is very Optimistic about this ship being as big of a hit as the Axia Wraith was among Duelists. (feel free to correct the English.)
The ship is now in testing and is expected to hit consumer shelves in a few months or so.
*Isn't really nessesary but would be very cool if its not too hard to implement.

Just to put things back into perspective,
IDFValk + N3's................ 19:1 (2900+3*400+110)/225
SVG + N3's...................... 20:1 (3800+2*400+110)/235
Banshee + MegaPosis....... 22:1 (6200+2*500+110)/340
IDFValk + Sunflares......... 27:1 (2900+3*1000+110)/225
SVG + Sunflares............... 25:1 (3800+2*1000+110)/235

That's the idea of a heavy fighter.
Yes Mynt the ship will still be very maneuverable, But its very large and the fact that the ships weapon placement will be quite far away from the center like the SCP it will drastically affect the turn rate, look at the SCP for fracks sake :P
and the fact it has as much armor as an IBG doesn't help is much either, this ship would get ripped to shreds by triflare or anything that had anti-heavy ship weapons.

Just to put things into perspective, some more,
IDFValk....12m
SVG..........12m
Banshee.....11m <--- (smaller than a Valkyrie)
SCP...........21m

Numbers aren't very reliable, if the were to be trusted a triflare valk would be as maneuverable than an SCP with Gat and flare...
The Banshee also weighs a lot more than a Valkyrie.
You should post in the "New Ship/Addon Suggestion Thread", spidey.

When was the last time you flew a Prometheus, anyways?

Never, but i have killed and studied so many I know what I'm talking about...
have you ever had a fight with a Wraith, you should know how easy they are to hit.

Numbers don't put things into perspective unless you include every single relevant number. When you listed the lengths of various ships, you failed to list their width and height as well.
*Estrian Prosis loves this idea.
