Yeah the technical overview seems to be wrong. I own the Avenger and the hardpoint on the Wings is just Size 1 isntead of 2
The slot for the Missiles state as size 3 but the rack is only for size 2 so i cant mount missiles with size 3. But i didn’t saw them so its no biggie.

Thank you! That is quite a comprehensive spreadsheet!
A little bit wrong…
Avenger. I’m also still hoping to see a Avenger missile boat variant.
I am waiting for the Avenger electronic warfare ship. I kind of feel that dedicated fighter will be a SH or Gladius (and Gladiator for missile boat) and Avenger does not bring enough in that department to fit in but as a ewar craft it would be hard to kill and bring usefulness not based on firepower.
Yeah after playng a while with my Avenger i clearly see if i want a fighter i would go for 325 or the militay Ships. But i wanted to use the Avenger for fast, armed transports with small but valuable Cargo on the not so safe routes. Only thing is that i really love the design of the Reliant and that ship would be perfect for my multirole ship.
Does anyone has a suggestion for a fast and armed courier type ship aside the avenger?
Also im really courious about the Variants!
Hornet and SH can be fitted with cargo pod in place of the ball turret. It loses a bit of firepower but Hornet itself is going to be a deteriorating as a target. Even without turret it can sting and is well armored. Obviously a bit slower than Avenger in combat mode but it might not matter in cruising mode (0.2c). If someone (or pirate) sees Hornet on the radar he will most likely assume it is there to pick up a fight and will avoid the contact. I can’t think of safer way to transport small valuable cargo alone. If you can spare cash for a npc than wing of 2-3 Hornets would look to any pirate like a very bad day.
Changed my aurora mr startership, to mustang beta, now i got nice small exploration ship with jump drive, and cargo capacity of 10.
NIce! But you should keep in mind the 10 cargo units probebly mean the maximum capacity if you detach the living pod in the back. Since the alpha variant carries a storage “ramp” in the back and has the same 10 cargo units it reasonable to assume this. But! the Beta still carries a lot of lockers to fill up with individual items! 
Digged more around exploration ships, and decided mustang beta not good enough, 315p looks perfect, have jump engine, jump scaner, tractor beam… that will be my next upgrade.
I now have upgrade my Avenger to the Super Hornet. The Avenger was very nice but i tried the super hornet and it is much more easy to handle for me, plus its superior firepower and the sturdy hull. And i can use the Stor All BigBox H instead of the ball turret if i need to load some cargo.
BTW Thanks to Zos for the Idea with the Hornet as heavy armed fighter transporter
I am very interested in the Avenger and it’s future variants, mostly for the cargo hauler in space fighter clothing thing it has going on, as I will be operating in the Logistics branch of the Org.
The two size 3 missile pylons, do they carry two size 2 missiles on each btw? just wondering cause this would make sense and sort of confirm with weapon mounts and gimble fittings reducing the size of the gun you can fit. So technically you could fit one size 3 missile on a size 3 pylon, or put a rack and then two smaller missiles, or even four size 1 missiles maybe?
Also would love to see a missile variant with hull bays (like the F-22) with pylons for more missiles inside, this of course should eat into the available hold space.
Personally also want to see a 2-seater model of the Avenger, maybe omitting the big chin gun for a smaller but more articulated turret operated by the second person, would need at least size 2 guns under the wings though for the pilot.
As far as i know there is currently no Size 3 Misslle available for Arena Commander.
The Avenger came with two size 1 Missiles under each Wing and i could upgrade it to two soze 2 Missiles per Wing.
I dont think the Gimbal 3 for 2 rule applies for missiles. Because the gimbal mount brings more precision for Mouse users but with missiles there is no difference between mouse and joystick / Gamepad
I had the same idea before we saw the new more accurate cargo capacity system in place. The fact that a Aurora ES would be able carry more than the avenger kind of turned me off. So I melted it so i could be the owner of one of those “limited edition” ships! 
The Hull-A. Carries almost 5 times as much and comes with a Jump engine! Of course you lose the ability to fight but for commerce reasons i think its worth it.
well its a " Horses for courses " situation as it really depends on what you intend to do , for me its mainly Bounty hunting so the avenger is ideal for me . Its works well in arena commander, has a little cargo for topping up the bounty payouts and is jump capable .In fact i cant wait for the variants to be announced to see if a upgrade is on the cards . But if its cargo hauling your after then a Hull A is a far better option as you said … and for the price a Hull A is good value
I remember original Avenger had 2 seats but had no sleeping space or that corridor to the cargo area. It would be hard for pilot to exit with chair behind him anyways.
I can’t think of to many specific tasks for Avenger sized/armed ship anyways. For me it will be my personal shuttle to get in to randevu point or post on a cap or station as a space marine. For combat I will most likely upgrade it to the ewar variant to make it useful in pvp. In terms of fire power and maneuverability Gladius is a better pick.
I don’t know how SAR mechanic will develop but regardless I think Avenger would make pretty nice medevac. I wouldn’t personally buy such variant but I am just speculating on roles that Avenger could cover. What I would really want is to stick 4 seats for marines, rack for weapons and made it fast, little bird ( AH-6 ) like drop ship.
