As it stands now, the Mk. VII is described as being designed as an "Ogre destroyer", with the ability to launch 12 missiles at a pop. Plus it carries it carries missile reloads, and a drone to load them. But, I can see your point, and my version may need to be downgraded a tad. How about 6 external missiles, 6 Missile Racks, and 24 internal missiles?

Another possibility I considered is that instead of having a drone reload the external missiles, it's equipped with a mechanical arm, similar to the one carried on a Vulcan, that would allow to reload its own missiles, from quick change storage pods. Sound feasible?

How about letting the Mk. VII's secondaries fire at the same range as its MB? Something similar to the Nihon SB.

Thanks, anyone want to take a shot at playtesting them? I'd like to see how they fair.
