Hydra has an issue with the crosshair being too far aft. Tridente has a smaller surface area on many profiles.

No, the bubble is the shield perimiter - but I'm not sure if that shield bubble actually works. The actual hitbox is the shape inside the bubble. However, the crosshair that autotargeting uses does use the center of the bubble instead - for the Hydra, that means anyone targeting by crosshair will shoot a bit to the rear of it. This will be fixed come 4.86.
Tridente's top profile has some gaps in it - so yea, a lot of shots actually pass through the model. I've always wondered about how a ship held together with a few supports has the same amount of hitpoints as a flying brick. Not to mention two extra gun hardpoints...
Credits are unneccesary. Keep em - buy one of the new ships during beta and give it a thorough testing instead.
