Admittedly, I have bought a few modules for the Tali - as well as a Base Tail - TBH those were impulse buys, because I had $265 in store credit, so why not? If the Connie has a Dropship module, I'll melt the Tali's and buy that instead, because I always intended to use my Connie for bounty hunting and boarding actions. Regardless, my primary interest in the Retaliator has always been its role as a long-range heavy bomber, because there's no other ship that fulfills that role. And I suppose Pirates will think twice about attacking a Tali because of its 5 turrets, whereas a Freelancer is an easy target. Some people are willing to spend $150 for the Base Retaliator and 2 x $25 for the cargo holds, just so they can have a cool looking cargo ship. I think the reasoning is that the Tali looks cool, whereas a cargo hauler, like a Freelancer MAX, is kinda ugly. The Tali's modules aren't surprising - because CIG mentioned 2 years ago that the Tali's bomb bays could be converted to cargo holds or living quarters - but I agree that converting a Heavy Bomber to a cargo ship or passenger transport doesn't make sense. Me, I've got my pure dogfighter(Super Hornet), pure tactical bomber(gladiator), and pure long range fighter/medium bomber(Vanguard).huh, could have sworn I had or at least was thinking of buying a 4th ship. Tend to agree with you, but if people are aiming more toward having a one base hull that they can tweak to fit their needs over a number of specialized ships for single purposes, then more power to them. While the modules are cool and nice for flexibility the Tali still makes for a poor cargo ship (not enough capacity relative to size) and a poor drop ship (too vulnerable and slow + no cutting docking collar = Think that the Redeemer and even Cutlass make for a better assault ships) Tali - suggest keeping the focus of Tali's towards being a heavy Bomber. I personally like the Connie ships better than the Tali and I think they will make better use of Modularity (think the current Tali Modules are a waste of pledge $ and are very poor effectively relative to keeping it a pure bomber or investing in other ships)
