TPG Marauder Type B:
Armor: 14000
Cargo Capacity: 48 cu
Mass: 4500 kg
License Requirements: 4/-/-/8/-

TPG Marauder Type X:
Armor: 11500
Cargo Capacity: 42 cu
Mass: 4000 kg
License Requirements: 4/-/-/9/-

Is it just me, or isn't the Type B really the better trade ship? So why does the Type X require a higher trade license? I vote their License Requirements are switched.

Actually, I doubt that this is a mistake. Consider the Ragnarok vs. the Ragnarok MkII. The regular Ragnarok requires only a Combat Level 4 license, but the Ragnarok MkII (Light Variant) requires a Level 5 one:

Ragnarok:
Armor: 16000
Cargo Capacity: 18 cu
Mass: 11000 kg
License Requirements: 4/-/-/-/-

Ragnarok MkII:
Armor: 14500
Cargo Capacity: 18 cu
Mass: 9800 kg
License Requirements: 5/-/-/-/-

Sometimes lighter can be better.

I think the lighter one should have a higher combatting license, however, The trade licenses should be turned around.

ie,

TPG Marauder Type B: License Requirements: 4/-/-/9/-
TPG Marauder Type X: License Requirements: 5/-/-/8/-

Yeah, I agree that the X is the better combat ship, but for Trade I'd sooner have 6 more cu than less mass. I could see the reqs Spider suggests working well.
