Ohh now I understand your WTD praises. I know it's a great ship, though I don't see how it is any unique in combat like a Valk or Prom are (again, I don't want anything better than a Valk or Prom. I want something unique.). And you're missing a great aspect spidey: The WTD is not even UIT exclusive. Anyone can get them. All Serco and Itani have to do is grind UIT standing to +600 (while not losing anything else) and then they can happily fly the WTD.
And my changes would not break the game haha. You are right in something though. The UDV WILL be crazily maneuverable. But it won't make up for its big profile so that a skilled pilot can still hit and flare it. The fat profile is then turned into a fair disadvantage that is compensated by the outstanding maneuverability. This doesn't break the game at all. And if there are true problem, it can always be addressed by the devs again.
The Mega Posi... The Mega Posi. I don't underestimate it. I know it's great. In fact I have flown dual MP UDVs and did okay with them. Though whenever I got just a tiny bit too close, I paid for it by eating a falre. Changing the specs would atleast the chance of getting hit a tiny little bit, which is quite fair.
Ahh you edited. Could you tell me what it will be overpowered at and what it is good at right now? YOu are bring surprisingly vague.

The UDV is already unique. It's the only ship with two large ports that goes anywhere above 200m/s and has the turbo thrust to do so with ease.
It really doesn't matter if the UDV handles like a vulture with dual mega posi it's profile is still gigantic. Compare it to the the prom which has a much smaller frontal profile handles better and can deal a shit load more damage with agt and dual flares.
So much in this game is ridiculously unbalanced and and different aspects tilted in different nations favour that it would be good to finally have a mix up.

The UDV may be unique, but not in the correct ways.
+1 to buffing the UDV!!!

i again promote my other tread: UDV quick/dirty buf
where I advocate increasing the UDV combat thrust to 225. this will still not make it handle like a valk, if you are comparing mp to laws. but it will make it strafe like a valk, if you are comparing a heavier loadout, where the total mass is the same. the valk itself is combat thrust 225, but starting at a much lower weight.
my quick/dirty buf will not be good enough. i just feel like it is enough of a no brainer to slap it in pronto.

Why do so many people sound like broken records lately? You've all said your pieces, and you keep saying it over and over with nothing new to add.
Just give it 20k armour, leave the other stats unchanged. (it's only a mini terradon after all)
I JUST found this thread and wait let me read... Hey! This is a pretty cool idea. +1
