TL;DR

Key points

2
Estimated loadout includes two size-4 hardpoints per side and integrated missile pods with four size-1 missiles per side
3
BoredGamer expects the M80 to be interceptor/interdiction-focused rather than a heavily armed brawler, prioritizing speed over firepower
4
The ship goes on sale during Origin Day at Drake Defense Con on the 16th; BoredGamer estimates price between $250-$300, though his contact Zen expects it to be cheaper
