Code Name: "Raptor"
So these are what I think the new stats should be....
Raptor Mark I
Variant: Basic
Armor: 9,500
Cargo: 5
Weapons: 3 Small Ports
Mass: 5200 kg
Length: ?
Thrust: 245 N
Turbo Thrust: 300 N
Max Speed: 65 m/s
Spin Torque: 7.1 Nm
Turbo Speed: 245 m/s
Turbo Energy: 60
Raptor Mark II
Variant: Cargo
Armor: 9,900
Cargo: 8
Weapons: 3 Small Ports
Mass: 5800 kg
Length: ?
Thrust: 240 N
Turbo Thrust: 290 N
Max Speed: 65 m/s
Spin Torque: 7.1 Nm
Turbo Speed: 230 m/s
Turbo Energy: 55
Raptor Mark III
Variant: Assault
Armor: 10,200
Cargo: 2
Weapons: 3 Small Ports
Mass: 4900 kg
Length: ?
Thrust: 250 N
Turbo Thrust: 315 N
Max Speed: 65 m/s
Spin Torque: 7.1 Nm
Turbo Speed: 255 m/s
Turbo Energy: 65
The Raptor has a unique quad engine setup which is why I put its turbo thrust at an astronomical high. To raise the base speed would be iffy though.
Opinions?
[edit]
Yes it was too much of a badass ship so I took the thrust down a bit but remember the size is the main disadvantage of this ship. Judging by the picture that is not to scale I, FOR SOME REASON... think that this ship is as big as a Marauder.

Heck it's engines are HUGE in comparison with the rest of the ship.... I see no reason why this should be slower than the valk. I will change the stats accordingly then to make it a heavy, big target version of the valk. Major downside of course is the drain... Then again the turbo thrust will give you a "chance" at catching your prey before they hit escape velocity.

Changed the mass and thrust since it's supposedly around the same size as a vult now.

It's too much of a bad-a55 ship to be made 10,000 armour.
Heck. This sucker looks like it should be stronger than a rag.
Edit:
Heck. This sucker looks like it should put to shame a Bird Of Prey(tm).

i'd like to see it have similar stats to a rag but with 3L and 2S and an extreemly high top turbo speed (say 230) and a drain of 55. i mean it does have HUGE engins.
high turbo @ 130?
I think he meant 230.
I fixed it now :)
And I'm gonna lower the normal thrust since it seems this ship is gonna be crazy going in a straight line but it shouldn't have 260 thrust because of an engine creating small gravity wells. Heck those huge engines on the side should only ever engage when your turboing come to think of it.......
Wonder how that works.

I think 2S, at least for normal variant.
Wylfing,
Compare these stats to those of the valk.
It's only real advantage is its turbo thrust, which is very useful for flares.
Besides its too big to only have 2. (maybe)

Well it can't be slow...it is called the raptor...
mmm. just add ONE heavy port, that'd be the best I think.
A 2L port version would be nice, I'd like to mount 2 queenguns on one of those babies. That would give some good firepower to compensate for its big size. Anyway, just a thought.
if the ship is so huge, wouldnt the mass be greater.
Who said the ship was huge?
I'm "guessing" its the size of the marauder.
If its bigger than that.... well then the S ports will have to turn into 1L/2S or 2L/1S or who KNOWS what.
DEVS,
Can you give us the dimensions of this beast so we can speculate further?
PWETTTY PWEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

devs have said its the same size roughly as a vult.
