| Good | Not Good |
|---|
| Has potential as a small, nimble, cold running combat ship with hardpoints that are easy to aim. If you’re looking for a ship that nobody uses that’s secretly awesome, this is the ship you’re looking for. | Stealth combat is not a thing. |
| A decent low-risk AX vessel, and a good Odyssey mission runner. In many ways, it’s the junior Alliance Chieftain. | There’s only so much damage you can do with 2 medium and 2 small hardpoints and a class 3 Power Distributor. |
| Has more utility slots that most small ships, so it’s easier to have more robust defenses. Its small size and low ambient heat also make it surprisingly difficult to hit. | |
| If stealth combat was still a thing, this would be the ship to do it. | |
