While it could be a bit smaller, that would remove the sand caster and laser turrets. It's only defences are the sandcasters, and the only offensive armament other than the spinal mount are the lasers. Upgrading this design from TL13 to TL14 allowed a smaller, yet more powerful, spinal mount to be installed, and the computer has been upgraded. The entire crew gets individual staterooms. There are almost five months of cargo space on this version.
