First prototypes

Wouldn't that leave normal ships of the system completely out of balance?

In the "late game" yes cus once Pilots have reached Siri/TC and have access to the TC tech it´s basicly a "farm for a Parsec rather then anything else".

Basicly Pilots don´t need to purchase any of the TC ships aside from the Hump and the Hump is not even required to be fully equiped for the one mission it is "required" for. In TC it already is very noticable that as good as no Pilot uses the ships aside from the T-Bird and the Hawk (even if just for a few mission) so basicly the TC ships could "not exists at all".

So the real question here should not be "will it make the normal System ships completely out of balance?" it´s more the question "Why should i buy a normal ship when with a Parsec classed ship i can have more Armor right at the start when i reach the new system?" Whenever Lagrange will be a thing most Pilots will have at least 1 Parsec/RDX ship so why should the go and buy a Lagrange ship if not for an "you need to use ship x for mission y" scenario?

Years back having a Parsec was something special and sure it may now be a nice thing but at the same time it´s nothing a Pilot can "brag about anymore" even when i know some Pilots who are already so crazy to build the same parsec ship from Mizar - TC without Configs and that is already saying something lol.

Because the normal ships are way more cheaper and affordable and still can be used with no problem in order to go through the missions on the game.
