Sparrowhawks in 0.4.0

[~SJ~ Wolf]

OOOOOOOH YEAAAAAH!
that thing looks awesome.

... except the thing's 1000 tons...

if ur talkin about the remote sensor pods... maybe.

HOLY **** WE NEED THUMPERS IN HERE!

Yep the pods
It uses Remote Sensor Dispenser with 60 sensors pods to allow for remote sense capacity while out of the area.

Obviously a vtol couldnt carry 60, but maybe 1-3

It's an IS ASF, so it won't get any ATMs.

I was referring to why the devs might have been trying to rework the Sparrow.

we could have that, like putting those things on it. My variants (based on own weight assumptions, around 13-15 tons that is):
Prime: 4xMG, 1xLBX2. C3, BHP, GECM
A: 2xRAC5. GECM
B: 2xMRM5, NARC. C3, BAP, GECM.
C: NARC, TAG, C3, BAP, AECM
D: 1xLBX5, NARC. BHP.

Most of the Sparrowhawks had ridiculously insane loadouts with weapons and equipment that weigh more than the plane itself. Now that it has some actual tonnage it's a total joke. 2 medium pulse lasers and 2 ER small lasers with only one electronic suite? you 4srs?

If a Sparrow conceivably has 15 tons free for weapons, then it doesn't sound that bad for what it has. However, I don't think it does. It seems to me that it would have 10 or so free, which still can fit at least one large beam laser and some electronics-way better than what it has now.
