They haven’t made it a secret, to be fair. GalNet pretty much said “This ship (and other future ones) will be designed around the SCO drive”…

… not that I’m sure it’s such a great thing to have the other ships keep behaving like they’re in a giant tumbler or washing machine, if you like to not spend minutes in a dead fly-in-a-straight-line experience.

Maybe they'll remove the tumbling from other ships after making Pee Mk2 available for credits. Covering it under a shitey made-up GalNet crap like "improving the SCO thanks to collected data blah blah blah"... :p

Good description of the all-axis tumble a ship can take using this drive boost...

Of course, they want to sell as many of these for Arx as possible. :p

It is all about ARX their pre-built ships don't allow to turn ARX into in game credits. Spend your ARX your bought on candy wrappers which FD have plenty and wait when regular PMKII would be released.

Too much torque twisting the superstructure. I can see an opportunity for a new engineering - SCO Reinforced/double braced housing. Kinda like cross bracing on cars to reinforce the chassis (cost = extra mass).
