If you add to it 2 more guns,it would be OK !It would be just like the Arrow.......
Well in the UE fiction, it was stated that the Hornets were relegated to being training craft--apparantly they are so poorly armed that even the Border Worlds wouldn't use them in real combat if they could avoid it. In UE terms I would suspect that the Hornet would be pretty much like the Salthi--it would be like 520/1500 kps 2 Lasers, 4 DF/2 HS, 80 shields and 80 armor.
Honestly speaking, unless it has something better than the UE Ferret (better guns, shields/armor, better missiles, or better speed/agility), then there isn't much benefit to adding it. Although there is a possibility that it could have stats like the above, but be given extreme speed (like 800/2000 kps or so). Two lasers is still weak for offensive guns for a player-controlled spacecraft, though. Maybe two Ion guns instead?

Training craft aren't necessarily inferior to frontline craft (in the WCA cartoon, the Scimitar was used, and according to the Movie, the Hornets were too). It is quite possible that the BW does still use Hornets in combat squadrons - but you just can't stuff every ship in existence into a mod, so it doesn't appear in UE. Mind you, had we had Eder's talent available to us right from the start, the Intrepid's trainer Hornets would have at least appeared in the cutscene (Banshees? Banshees? 
).
