Hmmm....wait a sec. It's the size of an Elite, but has body 5? And armor 3?
Wouldn't you try to make it as light as possible to cut the fuel

I'd add a pilot. (Mainly for the Bladerunner-feeling)
Maybe some additinal Autonav, as a single crash into a populated area might
result in these babys being damned....
