Took this ship into an onslaught of pirate ships and came out with nothing but a scratch. This is a tough ship good for almost any scenario. the various styles of turrets aboard really do a great job of point defense and harassing fire.
The primary missile systems (2) are broadside launch (port and starboard), took me a while to notice but it will still lock onto forward targets and hit them from the flank. The Interior of the ship is rather small but is easy to understand.
If you like to modify ships this a a good one to acquire for its flat armor and no complex re-styling is required.
