Since there's a discussion about ship stats going on in another thread, made me think about this ships stats, I'd really like to get player feedback on them, as they are mostly just copied from the Imperial Trader with some minor upgrades (since the trader is basically a later model of the courier)

energy_recharge_rate 4.5
max_cargo 125
max_energy 600
max_flight_pitch 1.5
max_flight_roll 2
max_flight_speed 370
max_missiles 4
thrust 25

Hi ADCK,
Looks fairly sensible as 'Good' ships go. Pretty tough with the energy banks (is that 9? - that's quite lot) and recharge rate. Top speed is not excessive for a powerful ship, and manoevrability looks very good for a largish ship. How much is it?

As for the energy banks, yeah it is 9 (same as the Imperial Courier)

Also it can't get military shield booster (although comes with normal shield booster as an extra)

Tough, but not stupid-tough, and in line with this class of ship, I guess. It's certainly OK with me.

Reminds me of the liberator, nice ship.

Hm. When I last looked, my IC had 8, not 9.

Ah, guess i'm mistaken then, I think I must of upgraded the energy too.

Encountered my first Imp Trader earlier today. Must say it looks really nice, and even with my non-shader computer it looked quite shiny. It seemed to take a lot longer to kill than the Imp Courier though.

Woah... met a pirate piloting this ship today. Space suddenly became more colorful with it individually colored laser beams

Meets my wish for a greater difficulty very well.
I chickened out, though. In comparison to an Imperial "Trader", I am a genuine trader without military shields and with just ONE front laser.
