Same about other stats as in the Fly. This is based on the Milanar Assault, which afaik is similar to the Valent A47, although I may be wrong. It should have pretty good acceleration and manueverability.

This ship will be in my opinion a great alternative to the conventional light fighters, the Vulture, the Warthog and the Centurion. It has a smaller hitbox and higher manueverability, with similar armour and weapons. These advantages will be offset again by how it is acquired. It is manufactured, and the manufacturing mission is unlocked only at high license levels and high Corvus standing. Maybe an additional mission to the Hive Research mission tree as well.
Again, an advantage is that the devs will not have to draw up any new ship designs. I'm not downplaying the effort involved. I'm only writing what I think might be an easing factor.

This suggestion has been posted after Whistler and We all float cited my earlier suggestions as a violation of Rule #5.
