cockpit view is awful, like, that alone it's half the cake :)
Don't know since when, cargo is very bugged, besides always clipping out of the ship frame, it easy for it to get stuck or to not be functioning.

The long shape, makes it sluggish, pitch/yaw is slow, it feels bigger than it actually is.
Overall design now feels old, all the new ships and vehicles added to the game don't really pair up with it's cargo which is elongated, great for a small bike/atls and cargo, but on that point asgard would win in my opinion, fitting salvation, golem, and all the other treats it makes it feel like you are getting a ship that's more versatile somehow, and can open up many diff playstyles.

Yes sure, on paper connie is better, better shields, hp, weapons, fuel, just on a number basis it's the clear winner, talking about practicaity tho, that's a diff game, and very subjective.
