I am just trying to provide you with information so you can stop vacillating and make a decision. LOL. I am not going to make a decision for you. LOL

It is the nose guns which are size 2 but gimballed and pilot controlled. The wing mounts are size 3 remote turrets, controlled by the two seats between the cockpit and the living area. But yes, currently, two size 2 Scorpions.

Boarding is a function of surviving to deliver troops to the target ship. The troops do the boarding, not the ship. The Prowler survives by not being seen. The Valkyrie by shields and Anvil armor. They both excel at both ground delivery and boarding missions, and generally require help...

That wasn't me with the faraday cage. That was me questuoning the utility of a stealth EWar bird. :) The Sentinel is lighter and the hull is less durable, which implies something other than standard armor. The stealth Ghost vs. Sabre is from the Sabre FAQ: The Hornet is ubiquitous. The Sabre...

An interesting choice. I wonder if it is keeping its three size 5 guns.

The Sabre is supposed to be stealthier than the Ghost. It is also more agile. With 3 shields less fragile. If the Ghost center mount place holder is required for stealth then the Sabre hits harder too. Sexy is more attitude than looks. :) And when you strap 4 GT220 Mantis to a Saber that...

Stealth only goes so far, after that you have to be able to hit. I thought "very, very stealthy" was the Eclipse. Note the Sentinel is also stealthy, and long ranged. At the moment, two. Once we get AI Blades, up to all, but the door guns. (Yes, that would be 6 mantises and 2 Scorpions with...

That is what my Sabre is for, plus it is my Carrier Fighter. :)

That is why they make Vanguards.

A pair of Starfarer Gemini (Scoops not missiles), a Hercules M2, possibly a Hull-C,. and 2-4 Vulcans could operate as a mobile FARP for 2-3 squadrons of Wardens, a Squadron of Harbingers and 2-3 sentinels for long periods of time.

Now that is a good idea. The Valkyrie just turned up on my radar recently. It flies better than I expected. It can, legitimately, carry a rover, which after paying attention to seversl of the game play demos sounds more important than I used to think it did.

That is what your Vanguard is for.

Since we don't know what the Redeemer will become, maybe. Valkyrie, Hammerhead. :)

We won't know until they release it, but if you want a gunship, get a gunship.

The Gladius is a blast to fly. It is well armed, pretty robust, fast and very agile.

Avenger and Valkyrie fits in your store credit. :) With AI blades all of the Valkyrie guns should be able to be pilot slaved. That would be something nobody wants to get in front of. Or the turrets can be put on point defense with blades.

You don't have a carrier based fighter. Hornet Wildfire, Super Hornet or Sabre depending on your flight style. You and I believe range is important, but this is Test Squadron and people are going to need carried fighters. I already mentioned a general purpose starter ship. If you like the...

He has one.

Something, small, cheap, easy to replace, inexpensive to operate. Basically a starter ship. Aurora, Mustang, Avenger, 300 series.

Two major hurdles? Chris Roberts and the QA staff. Chris gets in the way with his next new shiny. The QA staff either isn't up to the task or the devs bypass QA. Not sure which but something is really screwed up there.
