Thanks, I hate it! hahaha, nah it's a fine addition to the Drake lineup of glasscannons.
I guess they need something to sell alongside the drake mothership when it goes on sale again at the military show. Or buy 10 to cram into the Ironclad :D

I think you hit on its utility. If it has a tiny deck print, that may justify it.

I like the idea of it, but they need to give us a reason to use these snubs other than small footprint.

If this is like the Mirai and has no Qdrive, then what benefits does it have over a light fighter?

I can see a bunch of them being slotted into an Ironclad being a fun activity.

Wow!
That compact size!
And whats with those weapons? 4xS1 and 2xS2?
And foldable wings?
Damn, an Ironclad Assault can park and repair a dozend of those easily.
And those beautiful colors!
I love it!

I can imagine the Bullpup being useful flying off a Polaris. That hangar fits about 18-22 Fury. If it fit 12 Bullpups and they really have 6 weapons mounts each, they could be a better choice than the Fury to scout, and to knock out turrets and PDCs.

My complaint with snubs is they’re never as quiet as you’d like. No room for shielding the reactor is my guess. However, flying them off a stealth platform like the Polaris sounds plausible. I guess we need to see how it compares with the Fury.

Now the tricky part.
How many Pitbulls can you bring to the party via a single Hull B?

Makes me wonder how well those tiny buggers would deal with a capital-class size EMP device.
You didn't believe that ball on the neck of Odins bridge is a radar, did ya?
I plan to turn my Endeavour's supercollider into a cap ship EMP by throwing a big box of fridge magnets into it :glorious:
