What do you think about increasing its cargo space a bit and removing a few turrets to compestate it?
IMHO this thing is pretty bricky and a bit painful to fly in asteroid fields, also gets bumped by NPCs pretty often.
A bit more cargo space would make this ship kinda funnier.
Lets say 3000 or 3300 cargo space? After all it's bigger than Kamome
The model would need to be downsized, and it was already said once that it would be... however, the Hege is a vanilla ship and therefore seems to be very hard to downsize. That's what I remember.
I think its model size should be decreased anyway.
I would rather you add the CD back to it. I used to have a Pirate IDed one called the Miner.Miner.

It's honestly terrible for mining, it turns slowly so it's not easy to mine, npc's bump it so it's not easy to mine, it's too weak to fight off pirates, it's so massive that it can barely move through fields, literally the only ship harder to move through a field was the barge, though some of the larger battleships and carriers are likely about equal to it, it doesn't seem to get way better bonuses than the snub mining ships, which it really should.
It has needed a rework for years.
Signatures may not be bigger than 700x250, 1MB. ~Skorak
If it's going to be downscalled, then don't mind my question. Just it's kinda terrible as it is with it's bumpylike size. Still, I've got a feeling that it turns a bit better than used to turn about year ago

Wasn't there some ancient idea to make the Hegemon more of a "mobile mining base" with (very) slow impulse, thrust and cruise speeds? It could get some unique mining gear that allows it to be more efficient than smaller miners, but getting it into a field (and keeping it alive there, as it'd be an easy target I guess) would be time-consuming.
I have been a proponent of a Hege replacement for years, its main competition in the game in the class of Medium Miners is the Rock Badger which outclasses it in nearly every way. I'd argue every way but some complain that the less cargo makes it worse, I see that as a benefit given the people who are more vocal pertaining to Group Mining activities. Where as I see it as a bane to those solo miners putting them selves at risk for piracy but this is not the thread for such discussions.
TL;DR
+1 to any one willing/able to make a decent replacement for the hege.
ps: Those who argue that because its Vanilla it shouldn't be replaced, I have this to say for you:
99% sure there was some where in Vanilla maybe a rumor or info card that explained that Heges never move from fields except every like 10 years or so to get repairs. Might be wrong but hey.
TL;DR: PS:
I think Vanilla lore contradicts the sight of Heges flying everywhere

Dunno, you tell us, Devman.
