Read the poll, and vote.
aarm said that this topic isn't important at the moment but some results would be nice for when we bring it up in however many months.

Why are those the only 3 options?

What are the other options then? I just used the options Adept collated from the other thread.
I will add in a "make fuel equal to Hvy" option though.

Four miniguns for me. Lose the lead indicator too though

I voted offence, since hvy ints can already travel multiple sectors before running out of fuel.

Well, let's see, there's
Keep lead indicator or lose it. Keep ripcord or lose it. More, equal, or less fuel than standard heavy int. 3 mini guns or 4.
So that's 2 x 2 x 3 x 2 = 24 distinct possibilities. I'm so disappointed you only gave five in this poll. Personally, the combination I like best is to take away ripcord, give it the same fuel as the heavy int, keep the 3 mini guns, and lose the lead indicator.
But, failing that, I vote for "leave 'em alone". Yes you have less fuel that's because YOU CAN RIP HOME instead of having to boost to the destination and back. Sheesh. Had it my way luxy ints would have exactly half the fuel of regular ints so that would be perfectly clear.

That would really put the (s)ux in the luxury wouldn't it though
It costs 500! I want to feel it, and not just in the go-faster stripes.
To paraphrase Futurama:
"Let's show these alien scum what a ridiculously bloated defence budget can do!". You'll actually get the top int-ho's wanting to fly for Giga, for the chance to get that fourth minigun. This is a good thing

How about just give them the improved gunmounts, remove indicator, and decrease fuel consumption. Leave ripcord alone. That should be pretty uber for 500 in the right hands.

Normalise
Why should it have any nerf over the heavy int? AFAIK the lux fig, lux scout and lux sf do not have any nerfs over their free counterparts. Apart from not being able to galv with lux figs.
I like the ripcord (lets you defend tps) and the lead indicator (yeah, I suck at aiming, deal with it!). It still has other advantages over the lux int, doesn't it...? Like extra hull and such?
