Noooo, not a tank heavy fighter, an a-lot-firepower heavy fighter
Cause what we need is more fighters.....obviously.

Well, if the next concept IS a fighter, they will with the shiny new fighters they've bought.
I see what you did there.

Watch the ship becomes a small salvage ship or something. Like how the Terrapin was going to be a small miner/salvage and then turned into a military scanner and exploration boat.

Seriously though, they are bringing Ducktales back, and it's got a pretty solid cast.
Wrote an article on this yesterday :P

I was looking for a heavy to add to my fleet. The reedemer had my eye but the laterally located thrusters was a major put of after flying the vanguard and literally fighting for ship control when one thruster was knocked out (so much for redundancy). If this is like a hornet with centrally located thrusters, this will definitely be in my fleet for sure.
A flying heavy tank like the Terrapin but with boat loads of guns. You can never go wrong with more gunz.

Looking forward to see how they market this one. I've been waiting to check out the Hurricane for some time now.
You think anyone will name theirs, "Katrina"?
The description says it's not fast. Its only distinguishing feature is that it is bristling with gunnery.
I'd expect 4x s2's and 4x s1's, the S2's taken with Badgers, the s1's with Longswords as a stock load-out, which would match their habit of mixing divergent pips on the same ships and also not putting the heaviest weapons available on a craft. (Longswords will be Nerfed in the patch the ship becomes flyable in.)
Pie in the sky thinking here: I would like to see a Hard Point system like the Missile Mount system for this ship: like the Hornet has with its Chin Turret allowing 2x S1's, so with the Hurricane you can have an s3 fixed, 2x s2's or 3x s1's or variations along that theme, It would probably make heavy use of the Hornet Chin Mount as a proprietary technology no one else can use, or even have multiple smaller size weapons mount fixed without the need for an adaptor as standard... That would be a very customisable tub weapons wise.

I want a ship that can ram anything in it's way. something along those 18th century frigates the navy used, with a pointy nose. Out of ammo? no problemo, just kamikaze your way on poor Polaris.
