So I was watching a vid on leaks about the 400i, and came upon what appears legitimate intel. I'm not going to copy the vid here just because it was a leak, but very quickly, that source seemed credible and said the 400i will be equipped with:
3S2 reactors
3S2 Coolers (Stealth A Nightfall)
1S2 Q Drive
2Medium fuel tanks and scoops
1S3 shield.
2 twin S3 remote turrets (dorsal and ventral)
2S4 gimbaled pilot guns.
All guns are laser repeaters.
If Origin stays with its hallmark as a fast ship builder, this could make an excellent stealth recon scout. Without the large shield running, odds are excellent two of the three reactors can be shut down and with three stealth coolers, this could be as quiet or quieter than the Lancers--the current quietest medium ship. The fact this source specifically called out it comes with 3 Stealth A coolers is the biggest tip-off that it is meant to be run with the shield down and 1-2 reactors off. Could be they're appealing to the same smuggling clientele as the 315P?
No word on the size radar but S2 is to be expected. No word on missiles, but expect them to be light. Built for 3 crew. Streamlined with a nice airframe, so built to handle nicely in atmosphere. Cargo, main and garage elevators (yes, three separate elevators), docking collar, Talisker in the wet bar. What else do you need?
I can picture using a ship like this to place stealth security buoys and plot future minefields, exploration, smuggling, even decent bounty hunting.
