While the ship itself looks cool, the fact its power grid is so exposed kind of makes me cringe, knowing the moment the shields drop, there will be a lot of pain taken. I'd rather fly something into battle that has better proteced critical systems, even if they are redundant.
Glad you like the design! The shields are pretty good on this vessel, but it is not a PvP ship, the shotguns are good... on very close range ^^ I'd say the other systems are quite decent though used in the right situation, however you are right that there is no specific shield killer on this vessel so that might be a problem.
