I love the kraken and now love the Privateer even more. This is the game play i've been looking for. Just not getting why many people believe that your trading fire power for market stalls? you keep all the original hardpoints, repair/rearm/refuel side hangers, you only lose 2/3rds of you massive cargo hold and the most useless of all aspects a dragonfly bay... thank god that is gone!!
This ship is one of the first CIG has offered which truly provides the opportunity for passive income. All 10 stalls can be leased out to NPCs who all will pay not only their lease payments but as this is a contract, using the future mechanic, you can throw in security costs and ensure only your ships provide shipping of new goods to the station. So many options for the budding business person.
