| Good | Not Good |
|---|
| The most agile ship in its class. | Slower in a straight line than its counterparts. |
| It’s the king of PvE Combat. Once engineered you are basically a god. | The large hardpoint is poorly placed and doesn’t converge with the others. |
| Two huge hardpoints plus a class 8 distributor means enormous damage potential. You generally design your Vette around whatever weapons you choose to put in the huge hardpoints. | Requires Rear Admiral rank in the Federation, which is a grind. |
| Can fit a lot of cargo and defend it well. | It’s only truly immortal when engineered. Resist the urge to take it out with the factory sticker still attached to avoid an unpleasant rebuy. |
| CMDR Jack_Harper’s favorite ship. | |
Hardpoint Notes
| Size | Number | Notes |
|---|
| Huge | 2 | Dorsal, slightly laterally displaced and set on the aft of the ship, just above the pilot’s eyeline. Easy to aim. |
| Large | 1 | Centered but ventral and quite low. Does not converge with/difficult to integrate with the other hardpoints. |
| Medium | 2 | Laterally displaced. Gimbals and turrets work best here. |
| Small | 2 | Dorsal, slightly laterally displaced on the nose of the ship below the pilot’s eyeline. Easy to aim. |
| Suggested Hardpoint Convergence Groups: 2H2S |
