The axia bus says that it's the 'armored' version, but it has the same armor as the ec-101. Could we up the armor by just a little, just to show willing? :)

It's a great little fighter for botting. With just a little more armor, it would be a contender for other uses as well. It has a decent hold, two small ports, and 200m/s infiniboost. I'd just like to see it with, say, 7000 or 7500 armor instead of 6500. That would make it a really fun ship to use.

Also, I've seen some newer uses are now using buses for trading in grey space to keep from wasting money if they get blown up. I think that's a really cool thing to see - a bit of role playing and using the ships for their purpose. The axia bus would be excellent for this because it's cheap as well and a decent (not great, but decent) fighter (especially since if you can get the axia bus you have the standing to get the axia positron blasters) :)

The Axia bus is/was used by a PvP legend (Eldrad) for CtC and it looks usable by lesser mortals even with its thin armor. The "armored" variant that you would like to see does exist atm. It is the EC 107, which is superior to the Axia version (+300 armor, -100kg and +10 max turbospeed i think). It is the reward for the bus killer medal.

Does it have the two s ports?

yup

Can I get the armor on the axia bus without having to do a bunch of pvp combat in a govbus? :)

EDIT: I'd also like a footrub, an ice cream cake, and a piano.

Give the axia bus >7000 armor and you'd be in IBG/Orion Centurion territory.

Yep! Duel? But really, if it had 7000 it would be an excellent cheap figher. And cheap trader for grey space.
