The brattice between the tower and the gun seems a little bit too small. That gives space for thinking on how exactly it is possible to feed the gun with shells. I know it sounds rather snobbish, but... Perfection is always better, isn't it?

The answer, as always, is "magnets"

eheheh - as a DM I can understand the value of wizards and their doing of things ...

but yeh, Nanites are quite obvious tbh - as for why is the reaver belt fed because the reaver is old skool - the NC are quite happy to carry ready made bullets - on the grounds they work!

But it's supposed to be the other way around, the TR is the backwards one technology-wise and the NC the "Sure, why not"

yeh - the NC are game to swing both new or old ... but its about what works nothing more ...

or if you hate the idea that the reaver is oldskool, (which would make you a bad person.) you could say the nanite conversion chamber is too large, delicate or heavy and has to be fitted higher in the airframe.

Three "Seats"

"Wait but then why are there only two in here?"

Fucking Terran Republic lol. Don't get me started on this new prowler. The Design is great but it's a bit too small. It need's to be upsized a bit.
