| Good | Not Good |
|---|
| Potential firepower for days with a class 7 distributor and 7 hardpoints. | It’s very slow and has mediocre shields, so avoiding damage is hard if you’re being focused. You won’t be outmaneuvering anyone, so shoot your way out. |
| Deploy all multicannons for a traditional maximum dakka build. | Requires Federal rank grind. |
| Has a fighter hangar and benefits greatly from it. Use the SLF to distract NPC enemies and allow for better shot opportunities. | Jump range is flat out terrible. |
| It’s a brick with poor pitch and roll…but has surprisingly good yaw that seems to come out of nowhere. This ship benefits people who use all of their thrusters. | As with other similar ships, having a bunch of medium hardpoints does not necessarily mean you’re doing a bunch of damage. Armor piercing still counts for something against larger ships. |
