This was my highlight from the guide:

MERCHANTMAN

The Merchantman is a cross between a lumbering freighter and a trading platform in its own right. The prize possession of many Banu traders, Merchantman ships are unique, organiclooking transports that reliably move goods throughout the galaxy. Merchantman are typically protected by smaller Defender parasite fighters that tend to prevent pirates from hunting the Banu. Like the Xi’an Khartu-al, the Banu Merchantman was part of a 2013 Star Citizen stretch goal ($27 million), aiming to expand the game’s alien cultures. As with the Khartu-al, the Merchantman helped introduce and define the Banu race early on before copious amounts of additional lore were developed for the species. The initial concept artwork for the Merchantman was developed by Emmanuel Shiu in 2013. As of publication, the Merchantman is still in concept, with the newer but smaller Banu Defender leaping ahead of it to help define Banu materials and other elements that will be necessary to build out the larger, more complex merchant ship.

I really hate that the Gemini on the brochure says it's M7A on the turret and 337s on the rear. The Gemini is supposed to have size 6 and 4s. They better get that shit straight cause if it's just heavier armor then there's no reason to have one.

Looks like someone has never had to delete their browsed pages history *cough*

Should be in your history, as you clicked the link it should be logged as a page visited. Some browsers let you search by day/date so that should make it easier if it has it :like:

Its never had 6 and 4s.

Its always had 5s on the top, 4s on the side and 3s on the rear.

The standard has 4s on top 4s on the side and 2s on the rear.

Or they did the last time I bothered to fly either of those hunks of junk.

@wmk you're our Star-G frequent flyer, what's the setup supposed to be for the weapons on this thing? I thought it was 6 on top, 5 on the cheeks and 3's on it's ass?

It looks like they have BUFFED the Starfarer from a size 4 on top to a size 5, as well as allowing 3s on the rear, rather than nerfing the Star G.

They also have the Gemini listed as a Aegis ship (it's misc).. It's almost as if they rushed to put this jp together at the very last minute.

Theoretically, Gemini supposes to have all guns 1 size larger than the base variant. That loadout in brochure doesn't seem right, not only because it's completely different to the current loadout -- which has been changed completely around 2-3 major versions ago (see below) -- but also because it doesn't make sense... ; ) M7A on a turret...? -- M7A is a laser cannon; it has a long range, but it's too slow to be used in a turret, in my opinion.

As of 3.12, Gemini has energy weapons only (comparing to the ballistic loadout of the base variant), and has 4 x M6A pilot-controlled laser cannons (size 4), 2 x CF-557 laser repeaters on a turret (size 5), and 4 x CF-337s repeaters on rear turrets (size 3); plus 9 x size 3 Arrester III missiles.
