I know its too late for anything in Rebellion except balancing and patches, put any chance to give the TEC Cobalt some minor face-lifts?
For starters giving it a 1 to 2 point armor gain would keep it around for more than a minute.
Giving it a second tech besides antimater drain( which doesn't have have graphic effect btw) would be nice.
And replace the spitting laser sound and short red lasers beams with a photon torpedo type effect (like SOA2) would give the ship some balls.
Thats basically it, its a great looking ship, but it needs some umpf.
