Try the Claymore. It's better than the Nighthawk in almost every way.
As for the visual change...nighthawk is a T2 drake, not a T2 ferox. Why shouldn't it look the part?
As for the lost launcher...look at the ship bonuses. You should do at least as much damage as you were doing before, if you're using scourge ammo. |

Ferox uses guns, drake uses missiles.
Nighthawk uses missiles.
Ergo, Nighthawk is a T2 Drake. QED.
Also, why do people have a problem with the Drake model? It has a certain sleekness that the Ferox lacks... |

I pointed this out like a dozen times while the ships were on sisi and never got so much as an acknowledgement from the devs. The slot layout means that the Claymore can completely ignore its tanking bonus and fit a stronger buffer tank than the Nighthawk, even though the Nighthawk's tanking bonus helps buffer. If the Claymore does the XLASB thing, it blows the Nighthawk's tank completely out of the water. |

Another mid slot instead of a low would help out with passive regen tank just as much. |

from what I remember the ferox was more or less equally good with guns or missiles (lol medium hybrids!), and the drake didn't exist. therefor the nighthawk was a t2 ferox.
Not really. It had unbonused launcher slots, sure, but bonused hybrids. |
