| Good | Not Good |
|---|
| Quite fast in a straight line, good for jousting style combat. |
You’re not going to out-turn anyone.
|
| Good hardpoint variety, and they’re all on top of the ship. | The class 6 power distributor is a little weak for the hardpoints, so you’ll have to use efficient or low draw weapons for part of your build. |
| Enormous shields for its size. | It’s difficult to do roles that aren’t combat due to lack of optional slots. |
| Less drifty than the Fer-de-Lance (FDL), and has a centered pilot seat. | Pound for pound, the FDL and Python Mk II are more capable combat ships in their respective realms. |
| Handles heat reasonably well. | |
