It is to my understanding that the Kronos was made to be on par with the Sarissa, hence the weird stats/size/feeling ratio you get to see when flying it. I think I wrote this a couple of times before, but if they would of gave us a heavy Kronos, Gallia would of lost big time, and its not like the Outcasts were putting much of a fight as it were.
So what I'm saying is that the stats on our ships were made to be balanced towards what the Outcasts fly. Rp-wise, we weren't supposed to be able to stand against the GRN.
Now, I personally like the way it is now, because it fits its 'faction/group combat' role very nicely (basically a Kronos would never go out alone), while the more 'solo' nature the ship has right now puts it a bit off in terms of balance.
