Thoughts on the Redeemer Ship? Discuss Everything!

Hello OPPF!
I am ZZ, ACES OMF Soldier Force Commander, 13th Soldier Councillor, and founder of the Stellar Corp. Sq. (Within ACES)
I was wondering if you have any thoughts to share about the Redeemer Ship?
Speculate, discuss;
Weapons, armor, shield, powerplant, chassis alternatives, and what possible uses(activities) would be uniquely well-suited for the Redeemer? 
Which ships could readily compete with the redeemer; and which other ships does the redeemer have an advantage against...
...in the hands of equally skilled pilots.
Could this ship be well suited for the lone ranger, bounty hunter, precious(small quantity) cargo/data hauling... etc.
We know the ship has formidable Shields, Armor plating, and turrets; but how does it stack up against other ships; with specific specified specifications.
------------
Connie:Redeemer,
Redeemer is half the weight;  80530kg : 42000kg . . .
Half as many TR5 Primary Engines 4 : 2 . . .
Connie has 8x TR3 Maneuvering Thrusters for it's heavy 61 meter long haul : Redeemer has 12x TR2 for it's much lighter 38 meter haul . . . 
S6 Power Plants & S6 Shields. . .
Connie 2x S4 Man Turrets : Redeemer 2x S3 Man Turrets; however, . . .
Connie has zero unmanned turrets : Redeemer has 1x S3 & 2x S4 Unmanned Turrets! (Are they independently operated to aim/shoot by themselves?)
However, The Connie has 4x S4 Gimbal mounts (M5A Lasers) : The Redeemer has zero Gimbal mounts as it just relies on it's missles and manned/unmanned turrets

It's a Connie with 10 guns and 20 missiles. Crew,shields and power plant size is the same. It's not flight ready so I can't speculate further,but Connies die as fat whales with too many missiles. The Redeemer hopefully isn't the same.

Any thoughts on maneuvering capability/ give the ratios for weight, powerful TR5s, length/#thrusters, & thoughts on fire power comparisons?

Maneuverability:Half the thrusters for approximately half the weight,and maneuvering is almost the same with 4 more of a smaller size. I'd assume it would end up slightly stronger in pitch,yaw or roll. Due to it's shape I'd say roll.

Firepower:Manned turrets are weaker on the redeemer clearly. The Redeemer's unmanned turrets are controlled by the pilot as there is one seat in the cockpit this compliments it's gunship design as intended and these guns equal the 4 guns on the Connie,but with 2 of a smaller size. Those 4 on the Connie aswell are gimballed due to it's size for it's poor gun convergence and is the only thing effected by size when comparing these two ships which makes firepower even out due to accuracy in my opinion.

Conclusion:Redeemer and Connie are nearly identical when analyzed which I did not realize until this thread. The only real difference is the desired preferences in guns/missiles ratio and their utilities of a troop transport for the Redeemer or a parasite fighter transport with a Connie. Obviously they are different in design and size,but that has far less bearing on performance aside from what was already stated.
