Porche''s Millenium Falcon

After downloading and using Porche's Millenium Falcon, I have to say i was a little dismayed. I found many inconsistancies, namely the lack of turrets that the infocard said it had (supposed to have 6 turrets, but it only had 2) This encouraged me to give the Falcon a complete overhaul, improving upon its systems and and visual appearance. Here is a list of the changes I made:

-removed 2 gun mounts, added 2 turret mounts. guns/turrets now 4/4
-turret placement is as follows: 1 top, 1 bottom, 1 rightside, 1 leftside, all providing 360 degree coverage
-guns are all forward facing
-removed "heavy fighter" shield capabilities and added freighter shields
-tweaked turn radius, turn angle, and ship physics for more realistic flight
-modified engine fire/glow for improved appearance
-modified front headlights for improved appearance
-added 4 docking lights: 2 top, 2 bottom, for improved appearance
-changed camera distance for improved appearance and gameplay
This baby is still the fastest ship in the fleet!

I could re-submit it, but I need Porche's permission first. But in the meantime, anyone have any comments, or suggestions for further improvements of this model?

Looks good, but didn't the real MF have only 2 turrets

yes the original Millenium Falcon only had 2 turrets, but it really helps this ships defensive capabilities to have a turret being able to cover each side. if one does not like the 2 extras, all you need to do is delete the turret 3 and turret 4 entrys for the falcon in the shiparch.ini file

my ship of chioce!
what about decreasing cargo to increase mobillity to a med or heavy fighter.
has to have a torp !!!!
this kicks real ass
instead of adding new mounts, convert two of the gun mounts to turrets
you could decease gun and turret levels to make the ship more even
