We know the Banu will adapt their ships to fit its marketing base (humans in this case) - as mentioned in the Concept Sale. Right now the concept is - that the Defender has a landing configuration and a flight configuration (this is how the Banu have developed the ship for themselves) - See top to images below from JP mag. Humans would not only modify the controls in the cockpit but would ALSO allow the Banu Defender to FLY and FIGHT in its Landing Configuration which would solve the Visibility Issue (see images) Humans would adapt the Banu Defender to 3 Modes (not confined to 2 Modes as designed by the Banu) Landing Mode - Same as top image as the Banu intended Dog-Fighting Mode - Same as = Landing Mode - Configuration would be adapted by the Banu for Humans with the ability to dog-fight with the Inclination of the Arms downward (like in the top image) - and the gimble weapons on the ends of the arms could compensate to still fire forward as needed. Sniping / Ramming Mode - Same as the Banu's normal flight mode which would be fine for fixed weapons (or gimble) on the arms and the Banu (learning from the Vanduul) would potentially use the arms as rams like the Vanduul use their wing-blades for ramming (and ramming would actually be an escort / sacrifice function to defend merchant ships). ----------------------- Yes we have other threads reducing the arms, modifying the location of the mid-section, etc.... but those are radical departures from the Banu Design - already revealed in the concept sale. Allowing a 3 mode option (allowing you to fly with inclined arms) is an easy solution for CIG. What do you think? The next image shows the Banu fighting the Vanduul - and thus they would pick up on Ramming as a viable - sacrifice / defending tactic - to use for the arms (maybe they have more armor) The last two images are from the holoviewer - which the community is complaining about - luckily CIG has an easily solution per above.
