Hi first of all not sure if this is the right place to post, it is just something I have been thinking about.
With the introduction of the Cutlass it seems like the Falcata has lost its purpose. They have the same powerplant and number of turrets/guns, but the cutlass is faster/more agile and only has slightly less armor.
So my proposal is to rebalance the falcata into a heavy bomber using the praetorian powerplant and reduce its handling to match the praetorian, while keeping the weaker armor, so the only comparative advantage would be the Falcata's smaller size.
The OC shipline is great as it is, but there could be room for a heavy defensive/anti-capship bomber, and the falcata might as well take that place instead of becoming obsolete.
