What SHOULD have been done is boosted the originals up to the Mark 2 levels instead of adding in this second level to the now redundant tier system of vanilla Freelancer.
Or better yet, used the Defender, Bloodhound and Startracker as the base level to balance everything else around instead of the Sabre, Eagle, and Titan.
