I made a modified version of this, changing everything to Titanium, removing the Hangars and changing them and the shield generators into more Cargo space.

Now they're my heavy Miners and Salvagers, each Frigate well enough armed to keep itself safe from pirates, and run solo mining orders.

I do admit to having the x4 turret mod, but if I didn't, I'd be running a couple of Gladius Escorts to keep the pirates at bay.

Welp, almost done with the new collection! ;p

Fun part was trying to squeeze some hangars in to it. XD

Yup, also added a few more turret bases and gave it a paint job.

For curiosity, did you just rework the exterior and add functional blocks inside? I'm happy to see people using my designs and improving them!
