In oder words R.I.P Eagle.
Saber wont be that bad because the increased DPS so the 7th gun would mean a bit more that would make up with the core nerf- still the few good PvPers with uber aim does not need core since they don't spray, the rest well....
I dare to say that both 4.86 Sabre and Eagle were perfect and needed no change, if the increased DPS buffed Sabre too much you could always downgrade the turret. The Eagle concept of yours is laughable, big ships does not last long in group fights, good example is Werewolf- ton of hull and bots but still huge side profile, slow Eagle means dead and useless Eagle. Dodging and agility are a way more important then any miserable 1000-2000 more hp or 5-10 bots more.
If I summarize it you made Sabre the said specific duel ship that used to be Eagle while killing Eagle in the process. As result practically we have one less VHF to choice,theoretically one can fly Virage or similar useless stuff if we count ships as numbers only.
Don't break what is not broken suits better.
