Give hornet a massive engine
5600kg > 7500kg
240 KN > 325 KN
at least for the orion hornet maybe buff the mk3 similarly
Torque/Boost would have to be adjusted accordingly for the new mass.
This is a slight buff as it makes the hornet more apt to handle heavy loadouts as it stands the hornet handles pathetically slow when fitted with quad rails which is really the only effective loadout.

Best way to buff orion hornet is to up its torque by a bit. if you're putting 4x rail on it, it's going to behave more like a turret than an actual ship, so the extra turning power would be a tremendous help, even if it's only a little bit more.
+1 big time
I challenge anyone to stage an argument in favor of the hornet's current stats. I actually really like the ship model, but even the Orion version has poop flight once loaded out with anything other than pure energy.

Im not sure if I like the original suggestion or JJs more. +1 to a buff either way though!
One of my best characters flew an Orion Zornet pretty much exclusively, and did do quite well, even scored a Niki kill! But I would agree with this overall suggestion, as once the element of surprise is gone, you really are boned in a ship that heavy against any pilot with an ounce of skill (or rockets, yeah, or any explosive that can cause one to spin).
The only real counter argument I could have in fact could also be used as a positive by some I'm sure, and that is not only would this improve the Zornet, but a rocket hornet would also become a lot more effective.

+1 to both

Ok, +1. I really enjoy flying hornets, but they are clunkier than they ought to be. I am opposed to changing the mk1 and 2, only mk3 and Orion. (Though the Orion is not bad handling with a light setup)
