faith, steel, and antimatter
Sometimes i feel like my brain has been hit by salamanders not gonna lie.
Actually, I don't know why it doesn't just come with 2 hangars, like yeah you have the option of NOT taking converted hangar but would you really? You spend a mere 20 OP and get 2 fighter bays without the downsides of a normal converted hangar. If your build isn't of taking advantage of that then you messed up. Might as well just give us the 2 hangars and take 20 OP off the ship, then it would only need 3 built-in hullmods instead of 4.
At 60,000 hull and 11,000 armor
If you take a closer look at the ship, you'll see that almost everything on it has a higher than average value. Like you said, a Converted Hangar will add a lot to this ship for an average cost, and so will armour and hull boosting hullmods. And add every single large ballistic being cheaper by 10 OP you can see how the ship is built around that tight OP budget. I sincerely doubt you'll be able to comfortably mount 2 Xyphos wing unless you really give up something else.
Here is hoping it won't be as controversial as the legion for being too compromising with it's builds ;D
Seems to me like it's a perfect candidate for xyphos. Get 4 burst pd with 360 coverage to make up for the times when canister flak is on cooldown.Actually, I don't know why it doesn't just come with 2 hangars, like yeah you have the option of NOT taking converted hangar but would you really?
