-two criticisms; first the hull is probably way to small to even fit cruise missile launchers, as someone else mentioned. (so would only be able to fit a couple or so)

I have to agree we rather fly spaceships not sentries.

You could put this idea of a ship on weapon module instead :)

And for our champion here you complain about lack of creativity, I complain the lack of creatvitiy getting around the cavats within eve and game play definitions.

The only thing I could see this ship being conceivably good at, is as a cheap deployable defense platform (since its DPS would be too weak to take on structures).

Generally though, most players would proooooobably rather roleplay a spaceship pilot than a sentry gun.

The defense platform idea was touched on for miners earlier, which makes sense I think. It could be specialized in that role perhaps with jamming gear that would help a miner's chances to clear out and survive with their exhumer or barge.
I could also see it on gate camps. But then, you can find almost anything that mounts a weapon there already.

Nova does a great job pointing out it's vulnerabilities outside of siege, but while it is sieged it could become quite durable with it's BS level shields. (Combined with it's small sig, that's not bad)

Now, some might point out that frigs aren't worried so much about larger weapons, being small and fast, and might be able to peel one of these like an onion.

This is true, they might have that advantage. But then, in siege mode, this ship can also use a large smart bomb. Gotta plan your performance for your audience!

large smart bomb range 7kms... Railgun ranges 250kms.

Excellent point.

Yes, that is definitely a weakspot in the design. Ships with greater range can hose it, and it cannot get away without killing it's shields in the process.

Makes it very risky, and like most ships, the guy going solo is really gambling.
