More faction variants, the itani and serco both use the raptor and its got its place. i also suggest the overall speed for the raptor be uped from 55/m for the mk 1 to 60/m for the mk1 the mk2 would be 65 and the faction variants could be 65/m with the udv being 70/m. IMO its the coolest looking ship in the game but its so bad as a ship its almost not worth even playing.

A medium ship with two large ports doesn’t need to go 5m/s faster than a valk (of the same speed as a top line light fighter like a cor vult)

Well it is the TPG raptor. So it makes sense that TPG makes it and sells it. They probably still have a patent on it.

But +1 for more variants

I would like to remind you, the raptor is lighter then a vult. by something like 200kg.

That is true for the lesser variants of the vulture but the mkIV and above are all the same weight as the various raptor models. Letting a 2L port ship have the same handling characteristics as a Corvult would not be balanced. I would be in favor of a 3 small port version of it with its current stats or maybe a slight thrust boost to be a bit more agile
