About balancing - I'd say it'd be nice to have this vessel follow the hessian gb "path" - high agility, low powercore, high forward firepower (5-6 guns), very bad rear firepower. (3 guns) (that fits CTE ship philosophy as well, afaik?)
Imo, would fit it pretty well. The question would be deciding on it's powercore - 40k won't allow many House Corps to effectively use their house guns on it, while 50k might make it OP due to agility and firepower. But, I hope balance team would do a good job with it.
And yeah, a great design. Too bad we'll have to wait till 4.87 q_q
