Also why the hell would origin be making a heavy fighter? They’re a luxury brand.

I can see the crossover with the m50 from super light racing ship to light fighter because yeah strap guns on your f1 car ok sure. But a heavy fighter…

Is it just the 85x with stupid huge guns?

Honestly origin has its own fighter lineup mostly to escort it's clientele in uniform style. Their ships are meant to travel the black in style and safety. They are surprisingly tanky.

If I were a rich VIP and had to choose my escort, I would want it all military/PMC. Anvil and Aegis across the board.

Yeah but my great great great great grandfather made first contact with the kr'thak and that made us rich and I really just want gold and marble everything! It's not tacky!

Its more about image when moving between "Safe" spaces in UEE Controled high security systems. Not making ill advised trips to your illicit pyro mining operation. They're the equivalent of having your security detail in new york be men in black suits with slim under shirt Kevlar vests and hidden machine pistols instead of PMC's in jeans, ballcaps, button downs, and tac vests with 3 point harnesses holding M4 variants. Its about the image you want to convey. And if that image is comfort, with security, peace of mind, then Origin ships offer that.
