Talk:Elite

The recent edits to the Elite page are somewhat negative in tone, emphasizing how weak the ship is and what it cannot do. While the Elite may not indeed be a very good ship, I think its article should be more neutral in tone and focus on what can be done with the ship. For example, the ship is slow for an M4+ but is the most agile, and it has a good size cargo bay for its class. Its laser generator is average for an M4+, but it makes a particularly good Mass Driver user thanks to its cargo bay.

In addition, rather than condemn the ship for its speed, perhaps describe where it can still be useful, like as a defensive complement to a carrier, or as a cheap alternative to the Nova.

I'm willing to make such edits myself but I wanted to get some consensus before I go reverting somebody's new work.
