When Streele, Incorporated designed the SI/F-432 they did so with the concept of a "space pick-up truck" in mind. As such they went with the size:4 "biggest of the small ship hulls" for maximum scale at a minimum price. Like a pick-up, the cab offers comfort and the cargo bed offers...space for cargo. The Strider class light freighter is no different, it has just enough comfort in the living area while maintaining a dedicated space for hauling anything and everything. Light hull armor makes it tough without impeding performance, which is a far cry from sporty but still respectable for what it is: a simple design dedicated to a simple purpose. That said, anyone wishing to explore the boundaries of performance can always remove the laser battery to restore MR back to 4, but the threat of pirates has captains trending to retain the long range defensive system.
