Again, I have to rely on others for the other stats (this is getting annoying). It's based on the Orne Guardian, but a slightly lighter and significantly lower armoured version of it. But same shape and size. Acceleration would be pretty bad, as would manueverability, but don't turn it into a Moth please. Maybe like a Hornet.

This ship will be a like a highly armoured and significantly heavier Warthog. It also has a larger hitbox.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.
