The Corvus Tick (Heavy Armed Transport)
The Corvus Tick (Heavy Armed Transport)
Stats:
Armour:25000
Mass:80000kg
Cargo:150 cu?
Volume as Cargo: Won't even bother
Weapons: 2 large
Max Turbo Speed: 180 m/s
Turbo Energy: 50/s
This one is based on the Milanar Transport. It is a more everything alternative to the Moth. Higher thrust. Higher Spin Torque and all the other stats.

This is again a niche ship. Its low mass to cargo ratio is caused by its supremely powerful engines. A large hitbox, and not great manueverability makes it a bad choice for any kind of combat. But its use for transportation is great because of its high armour and powerful engine, which give it the manueverability slightly lesser than that of a Ragnarok Mklll. 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.

You put the mass at 80,000k, which is about 2.66 times the mass of a standard moth, but you only give it an additional 5k armor and 30cu more of space? The higher thrust and spin torque you mention would not this ship more effective at hauling. In fact, imo, it would be like shooting fish in a barrel. Understand, that even with strong engines, this would be a beast to move around.
Ik it is...I just based it off of data on VO wiki on the Milanar Transport. Maybe the Cargo storage can be increased to like 250 and armor to 40k and a larger hitbox?
