armament change to something on the order of 3 IT missiles (fore left right, fore left, fore right), 2 AR missiles (fore left, fore right), 3 partical cannons (fore left right, fore left, fore right), and one full mount SCL
more of a missile frigate as a counter balance to the interceptor frigate as a brawler, something more befitting of a ship that takes a rank higher than midshipman

Better idea...
Currently the ST-08 is a bit of a let down, considering it's higher rank requirement, and compared to the far superior loadout of the ST-06 Interceptor.
Its current load is:
2x IE Drives
1x Tach Drive
1x ECCM
1x Flux Wave
1x CL (Full)
2x Particle Cannon (Fore Right, Fore Left)
2x IT Missile (Fore right, Fore Left)
2x P-Torp (Fore, Fore)
1x MIRV (Fore)
5x Armor (Fore, Fore, Right, Left, Rear)
The proposed change is:-
2x IE Drives
1x Tach Drive
1x ECCM
1x Flux Wave
1x CL (Full)
3x Particle Cannon (Fore, Fore Right, Fore Left)
2x AR Missile (Fore right, Fore Left)
3x P-Torp (Fore, Fore Right, Fore Left)
5x Armor (Fore, Fore, Right, Left, Rear)
As you can see, we are dropping the MIRV completely and replacing it with another Pcannon and another torp, and widening the base torp arcs a little. this will bring it more in line with the ST-06 layout.
To complement this we could change the single torp on the ST-06 Interceptor into an AR Missile, thus making it more of a ranged ship, and putting the emphasis on the Harrier being the Elite Combat frigate (as the badge requirements show)
