Devs: Please tweak the Toron shuttle for PVP

I've started paying a lot more attention to small craft with the new shuttle PVP that is part of the new update.
Although there are better small craft in the game, I've been pleasantly surprised how versatile the KDF Toron shuttle is ... with one exception: It uses the wrong weapons.
You can clearly see dual cannons on the Toron shuttle (they're pretty hard to miss, hanging off the lower pylon wings like the cannons on a Bird Of Prey). However, we can't put dual cannons on the Toron since the game is setup so that "shuttles" can't use dual cannons.
The Toron should be an exception to this rule. It's a "shuttle" but it's also very clearly designed more like a fighter. I would like to be able to put dual cannons on the Toron so energy weapon blasts come out of the dual wing cannons like they should.
If you're worried about making the Toron imbalanced, don't be. This shuttle still lacks the turning rate of a fighter, so players who put dual cannons on the Toron will suffer due to the limited firing arc ... but it just doesn't feel right for this KDF shuttle/fighter to not have the ability to use dual cannons.
