Yeah it does look really good. So tempted to melt either my 350R of Super Hornet for it!
Shame it doesn't look like it has a bed for deep space saving or at least some cargo and I'm not sure if it really needs two seats when there are no turrets.
Firstly, if you DARE melt that Super Hornet, i'll hunt you down!
If you want the credits to buy something else plenty would buy it off you, myself included.
Secondly, it's definitely got turrets, thats what is firing the red laser shots, but people seem to be viewing it as a 'glass cannon', where its very nimble and dangerous, but limited armor beyond its shield, so a coulpe of hits could be fatal, where others hold strong, the challenge is being able to hit it as its very agile.

Xi’an Scout Unlocked! The Khartu is the light attack craft of the Xi’An military. Contrary to Human ship design, the Khartu doesn’t have a traditional main thruster, instead featuring an array of maneuvering thrusters on articulated rigs. This design allows for incredible agility, making them the bane of UEE pilots, who bestowed the nickname ‘Quark’ because when all of the thrusters are firing, the ship looks like a spark flying through space. The Xi’an Aopoa corporation also manufactures an export model, the Khartu-al, for sale to human civilians as a dedicated scout/explorer. The export model features the same Xi’an maneuvering rig, but control surfaces modified for human use and a more limited armament. (Designer: Aopoa)"
and
"Xi’an ship design will be focused on a vertical aesthetic and maneuvering jets that can combine to thrust in multiple directions. Gimbaled, larger-than-normal thrusters sit on the four points of a star in the centerline, allowing each thruster unobstructed hemispherical coverage. The Xi’an scout can rotate on all axes and direct four thrusters to the rear or front! Because of this configuration the Xi’an ship has superb linear maneuvering abilities on all axes. This extra maneuverability comes at a cost however. Xi’an ships favor maneuverability over heavy armament or defensive protection."
Its on the ship specs page (Qhire Khartu-al, second from the end), and the SC wiki (as Xi'an Scout i'd imagine) if you want more info
