In order to make it worth increasing your levels beyond what is usual now and to invent a decent Xang Xi ship, this is my suggestion:

Name: Revenant Assault XX (Xang Xi Assault Variant)

Armor: 19000
Cargo Capacity: 16 cu
Ports: 2 Small, 1 Large
Mass: 9900 kg
Length: 13 m
Thrust: 480 N
Turbo Thrust: 500 N
Max. Speed: 65 m/s
Spin Torque: 11.0 Nm
Turbo Speed: 205
Turbo Energy: 56 m/s
License requirements: 15/12/15/8/4

This ship is available at all Xang Xi stations. A standing of +900 is required to be able to purchase this ship

The stats are very decent. It does not come near the stats of the SCP but is an okay alternative and at the same time a good grey space "tank".
Friendly criticism and optimization of the stats I thought about are welcome.

Why in hell would we want a tank in grey we aint at war, we be shootin' moths.

Now if ye tell me it could equip, and only dis model could, a single ammo rocket capable of deshieldin' a trident i would +1 yer suggestion (2 small ports, one built-in large port equipped with single "pussybane" rocket)

I don't have any objection. However, the license and standing requirements seem absurd for a ship that is sub par to the SCP.

The only advantages I see to it is that it's almost half the length and has better drain than the SCP, but not as good of drain as the mk models.

On the other hand, I recall Surbius used the Rev 3 to great effect, even against SCP's, so the improved thrust might actually make this a decent answer to the SCP.

Drop the requirements, and unless someone has a good reason to object, I'll +1

Edit: Also drop the armor to around 15,000 or so.

If you can append the nickname "Guppy Gunboat" then my body is soooo ready.

Let's compare it to the MkIII, the current best Revenant variant. Items in bold I've added for maneuverability estimates.

Mk III / Assault (difference)

Armor: 12500 / 19000 (+5500)
Cargo Capacity: 22 / 16 (-6)
Ports: 2s, 1L (same)
Mass: 9800kg / 9900kg (+100kg)
Length: 13m (same)
Thrust: 350 N / 480 N (+130 N)
Turbo Thrust: 350 N / 500 N (+150 N)
Max Speed: 65 m/s (same)
Spin Torque: 9.5 Nm / 11.0 Nm (+1.5 Nm)
Turbo Speed: 200 m/s / 205 m/s (+5 m/s)
Turbo Energy: 50/s / 56/s (+6/s)
Thrust per Dry Mass: .0357 N/kg / .0484 N/kg
Turbo Thrust per Dry Mass: .0357 N/kg / .0505 N/kg
Torque per Dry Mass: 9.69 x 10^-4 Nm/kg / 11.1 x 10^-4 Nm/kg

Ship sounds to be a reasonable, quickly grabable ship that you can use in Grey space furballs. I like the idea of requring higher levels. Currently there is no reason to Level beyond 11/12s.

+1

Also +1 to a Pokemon paint job available for in-app purchase.
