Moth XC storm extender
Like the tgp raptor the moth xc should have an automatic storm extender

Fair enough. It's a tub anyway, may as well have a perk. But add 500 or 1000kg for the device.
Moth XS is only adds 700kg, with 1000m storm extender.
Moth XH adds 2,500kg but gives +2k range.

And that kids is why we don't drink and post.
But sure, might as well give those traders a good look at just what pirate/bot is going to be responsible for their death.

Meh, why not?
or you could you know plot around roid sectors
While I have no particular opinion on the XC being upgraded with built in Storm Radar...I must ask
Isn't the idea behind the big ships that they AVOID storm sectors at all cost?
After all, they weren't built to spec for asteroid systems with hostile bots, fighters, etc. in them. They're essentially deep-space semis (ie: They prefer open road/space to traffic/roid clusters).

Even when you try you can't avoid all storms.
i just took an XC loaded with 200 aap's to sedina.
luckily i didn't hit a storm, or i'd be out some serious cash.
the xc is a friggin oil tanker loaded up. i barely made it from arta in a half hour.
just trying to line up with the worm holes took FOREVER.
i'll vote for no weight if adding the storm extender.
kp's $0.02

If you ask me, the Aeolus Light Moth would be a better variant to stuff an extender on. It was my understanding that the XC is supposed to be stripped down to accommodate all that extra cargo room, after all.
Besides, the XC already has the best cargo capacity in the game, does it really need additional features to make it more attractive?

vIsitor: yes it has the best cargo capacity but nothing else. I don't see this one change would give the XC a great advantage. It would see who was coming but it couldn't run from a player, since it will still have no weapons. I personally can't remember seeing a pirate in a storm.
Now that i've gotten used to the XC I almost never die in a storm. If i do die its my fault for not paying attention (turbo into roid, it or the bots kill me :)
The XC is the only ship in the game where a storm extender isn't avalible. Does it need to be crippled that much?
