Or maybe, just maybe, they are throwing in new Strip Miner models to the game. Cilinder shaped and with whriling parts and neon lights. If that's the case, "balancing" is a poor choice of words.

Interresting idea. We will see.

Without knowing any of the details on this, ship models will always have double the hardpoints visually compared to what they have according to the fitting. This is so that they can fire without having to visually cut through the ship model. So a ship that has 5 turrets fitted will actually show 10 fitted turrets on the hull.

A skiff with 1 strip miner slot will thus have 2 visual strip miner locations and now that it's being rebalanced to have 2 strip miners the model needs to have 4 locations to show strip miners.
