| The details can be found here, but it's basically a modified C-9979 landing craft with the following modifications:
- Upgraded engines for maximum atmospheric speed of 800 km/h (from 587 km/h)
- Addition of hyperdrive system, rated 2.0
- Replacement of four wingtip-mounted forward-firing laser cannons with four wingtip-mounted forward-firing quad laser cannons
- Upgraded shield generator
- Replacement of four turret-mounted laser cannons with four turret-mounted quad laser cannons
- Installation of Sluissi computer systems to reduce personnel operating levels from 140 to 60
- Consumable storage increased from one day to two weeks
- Foreseeable loss of cargo capacity from 1,800 tons to 1,100 tons

| The weaponry upgrade is a bit much for me, perhaps toning down the number of quad-cannon upgrades to 4 instead of 8? Otherwise, I don't have any other problems with it. Oh, is this a one-time thing you're doing for Xane, or is it something you plan on manufacturing? Sorry, I'm medicated to all hell right now, and my reading comprehension is a bit off.

| I'm not sure if this effects Karth's stipulation on the weapons, but since it's popped in my head, is this intended as a personal craft or a mass-produced craft?

| It's designed as a mass-produced stand-alone transport craft with armament meant to negate the need for escorts. While Xane is likely to be the majority user of this craft, I don't know if anyone else in the RP will buy into it or not.

| After some further thought, I'm going to bet it's safe to assume one of those sets of wing-tipped Quads are the turreted weapons of the original design. Giving in to Karth's misgivings, would you be willing to tone down either the turret set or wing-tipped set of weapons to Dual Turbolasers? This set-up is already drastically upping the armament of what is essentially two different sets of dual laser cannons into four different sets; so perhaps toning it down a notch is appropriate. What do you say, Toben?

| I'd be willing to replace the wingtip quad lasers with wingtip dual turbolasers, yes.
