Well, considering Bustard have HUGE core and few slots, some light cruiser slot codeguns that consume a lot of energy would restrict em to Bustards, as no cruiser would use em.
And to use Bustard in house space you need rp autorization anyway, so i dont see why Bustard cant be buffed a lil to be at least viable, considering its sheer cost and size.
Another ship i would like to see having some love is corvo... so sad looking to my corvos...
*sigh*
and about making new bustard-usable guns npc-loot-droppable, drop rates need be checked first... this joke of "cap code guns farming" gone way too far already. So far 0 person reported got one
And all cap using factions logged quite some time on it
