What ideas for a potential rework of the Reliant are being considered?

TL;DRThe Reliant won't get a complete ground-up rework; the rework isn't officially scheduled, but adding variants will likely make it slightly bigger with more cargo capacity and almost certainly a slight weaponry increase.

Right, so off the bat, temper some expectations. It's not going to have a complete ground-up, start-from-scratch rework. The rework phase isn't officially scheduled. It's more adding the variants, but we foresee some need for it to get slightly bigger to accommodate those variants and push the cargo capacity closer to other equivalents. I think it's four at the moment, and it should have been more to start with, but there was a slight mix-up in the construction of it that resulted in it being just fractionally too small to take those extra boxes. So we'll sort that out alongside putting the variants in, and it's almost certainly going to have a slight weaponry increase in some shape or form, whether that's missiles or weapon hardpoints. We want to avoid the trap of, to make something better, just make the guns bigger on it, because then it just moves the problem away from it. But for the size of it, it is slightly undergunned.
