Proposal
Definitely a mass bump. Fix the targeting on the weapon placements. One of the guns are sort of off centered.
(If it’s not a 2 seater, I would also make it a 2 seater as well.)
Justification
It will keep the SW’s busy. Plus, it will be a more enjoyable ship to fly. Instead of datapad beauty.
Motivation
Make it desirable, but right now, it is just not, plus all the above. ^
Definitely bump the mass up on the firespray, or something. Because the amount of work you have to do for it. It’s not even worth getting right now, and would like to change that. Other than that it looks good. Make it more flyable and the weapons targeting better also, make the inside to where you can move around in it. With its unique design.
 
I do not believe mass is the right thing to be looked at on an initial balancing weapon placement and how it targets can indeed be annoying. A balancing pass on other characterstics can still improve the ship.
 
The major downsides to the KSE has always been that it's a massive hit box which relegates it to a PvE only ship, and then that the weapon mounts aim in a way that means it's impossible to have all weapons hit the same target - especially if that target is an A-Wing equivalent.

I feel the mass is fine, but the weapon mounts absolutely need a look at.
 
The frag drop rates (#8 is the actual rare one) are crazy low too, considering how rare the ship is, it should have a rework.

Currently the KSE is best used as a missile boat, it's not a fighter, it's much more a bomber a la krayt etc.

I don't know if it's possible to work a gun convergence thing into all ships? That would mean gun placement can stay the same on all ships, but by having a 5 degree (number out of thin air) arc on the mount, it helps normalise weapons and reduces (but not remove) shots going either side of a smaller target.
 
Think at the very least for now the weapon (the lasers) mounts need to be adjusted for sure.

"The frag drop rates (#8 is the actual rare one) are crazy low too, considering how rare the ship is, it should have a rework."
I agree with this, but in what capacity should it be reworked aside from the weapon mounts being adjusted?
