So with the introduction of Vehicle Mounted Tractor Beams, I have come back to the Origin 315P.
It has all the amenities of the 300i and 325A, but also the maximum of Cargo Capacity (12 SCU). But the question is, is the 315P with its Sure Grip Tractor Beam instead of the S4 nose hardpoint worth it?
Sure you can pull Cargo with it, but you simply can't pull cargo onto your lift since it isn't a remote turret, and even then the fore cargo lift has its barrier in between the turret and the lift making it impossible to just pull and push the crates in.
Will the Exploration/Pathfinder variant of the 300 series get some additional aces up its sleeve, or was that it? And where are actually its ship components?
