    The Astaroth/HaMashhit is a fast warship, sporting a strong, balanced arsenal of Alpha and DPS weapons. Shield Alpha comes in the form of a good sized main body mount Ion lance as well as missiles mounted in the indirect fire turret. Block damage is quite robust, with two direct fire turrets in beam and cannon form along with the aforementioned indirect fire turret providing full spectrum damage effects well tuned for shredding armor and systems alike. To add to the block damage, this vessel features 10 "tickler" beam turrets to provide greater damage granularity, hastening your enemy's demise once the shields drop.

    Appropriate roles for this vessel include, but are not limited to long range pack hunting and coordinated strikes against capital ships, anti fleet and small craft/subcapital bullying as well as reconnaissance in force of sectors too dangerous for frigates or raiders. It's speed allows it to run down smaller faster raider style ships and specialized artillery vessels built to shoot and run.

    fairly slow to make kills but quite safe doing so, very reliable damage delivery that can shred computers & rail parts quite well in combat due to good spread of AI beam damage. Would make a solid replacement for a faction warship and sits in a very powerful & pleasant mass range for player piloting.

    Turret damage & outputs are decent but probably overly penetrative, more lateral damage using explosive outputs would help it deal more overall block damage. Ion damage could use improvement, missiles are strong but could use reload staggering for optimal block destruction, defences exceptional while shields hold, the sacrifices to armor were well thought out & fitting with the weapon loadout, perfect defensive effects for the ship.

    Highly server/client friendly, looks pretty cool to boot, I like the Astaroth especially

    would be a 5 for me, with a semi intrusive systems refit (cramming in more raw dps for a reduction in power and likely shield capacity) and modifications to turret outputs to increase block destruction & reduce total per tick power costs.

    Next to your Cottonmouth, it's probably my favorite PvP tagged ship on the dock. Very worth downloads, server side use & dismantling for study.
