Also of note, with a 300xl, 6JJ, fullish armor, you have 15 or so tons left, or 1/3 of the mass for firepower Equip. With either MASC or ECM plenty to pack 6 MPL, with 1-2 extra DHS, 10 of which are truedubs, unlike the BJ. Especially if you use a295 instead.
I'm not saying it'll be a meta champ, just that it should price far better than my poor VND.
I hope your right.
I also hope that if the Vindicator is truly that outclassed compared to a Phoenix Hawk, that the Vindicator is given some serious scrutiny by PGI for once and some changed be made for the better.
I still stand by one thing though, I don't think you are going to want to use that Phoenix Hawk as a short range fighter at 45 tons if it is the size of a Vindicator. 45 tons is flimsy under fire without structure quirks. It needs to be small (and so does the Vindicator for that matter). For 45 tons, they should be closer in size to a Hunchback, and not the Shadow Hawk :/.
