[marauder]

The manta is too agile for it's armour rating, it's powerplant seems to be too powerful as well.

It can match (turn for turn) a mk2 LF, it can pretty much keep up raven claw without much trouble as well.

Also the manta seems to be able to maintain 4 codenames and a pair of class 9 guns for quite a while. So it's power-plant needs to be looked at.

In the hands for a very good pilot it would be unbeatable.

Heres some stats for comparison:-
(note the values are guns/turrets, cargo, armour, bots/batts, description)

Manta 6/1 80 12600 70 Advanced Hammerhead

As you can see it's got pretty good stats.

Sabre 6/1 70 11200 66 Outcast very heavy fighter

The sabre can't keep up with it, now I know it's not very agile to start with but come on. You can see the difference in armour (1,400).

Guardian 5/1 74 12000 68 Advanced Defender

Wrath 5/1 70 11500 67 Advanced Valkyre

Chimaera 6/0 70 12400 70 Advanced Dragon

Now these are mk 2 house VHFs.

The guardian has 600 less armour and wouldn't be able to keep up with the manta.

The wrath is as agile as a brick and it's armour is 1,500 less the the manta.

The chimaera has only 200 less armour and it would also be unable to keep up with the manta.

Raven Claw 8/0 60 8400 56 Agile very heavy fighter

Talon 6/1 70 9200 60 Agile heavy fighter

These are custom ships and their armour is 4,200 and 3,400 less then the manta and the manta can easily keep up with them.

So it's agility is way too high for it's armour rating, it needs to be less agile then it currently is, about as much as a chimaera or slightly less then a templar.
