The stats of the UDV Raptor are not bad at all, however it suffers from the hereditary trait of the Raptor family tree-a massive profile, in just about every direction. To improve the UDV's weakness in this area, and better reflect its standing as a superior variant of Raptor, I have a suggestion-Give the UDV Raptor the same treatment the X1 received from the Valkyrie. Scale the ship model so that the forward profile of the UDV is flatter.

Of course the UDV would still have a very large profile from the top and bottom. However, giving the UDV the X1 treatment could help make it a more palatable choice for PvP by making it that much slimmer a target from the front, which is the main concern for PvP combat.

+1....

sure, I 'spose

eww no. the X1 is ugly enough.

slightly reducing the model size would be better.

Aye, smaller. Also, lose the tea tray it drags behind it .

Make it flatter or smaller, whatever; make it useful!

I really think the Raptor model on a whole should be shrunk down a bit.
+1 to do something to reduce its hit profile.

+1 (i'm assuming that means i agree with the post)

For it's size, it should be an assault ship with 2 Lports. If we're going to continue insisting it's some kind of an interceptor, make the model smaller.

What's wrong with the tea tray? How else are you supposed to serve tea and crumpets to those chasing you? ;)

Change it to two large ports or a smaller model, +1.

Hey lets all remember that the UDV was introduced for upcoming activities unique to UIT space.....

Ion winter is coming...
