SFW. Rook

    SFW. Rook RC3

    Awesome ship. As Sven noted, the piercing system was the wrong thing to install; however, I added an explosive effect and now this is a beastly fighter. Capable of destroying light-capitals with its rapid fire missiles. The AMC array is one of decent potence, great for dissolving hull. In the next update I would add more AMC's and equip them with an Ion Effect for better anti-shield capabilities. Small droppods would be nice to add, too. Turning and acceleration is amazing for its size. And, as Sven noted, the antennaes seem to be rotated the wrong way.

    I disagree with Commodore Decker in removing a star for the missiles. The missiles do amazing long-range damage and are very potent- with explosive effect they deal 3000 damage per missile. They are also fast firing- a huge advantage in a fighter.

    You deserve this 5/5- Just a great aesthetic ship.
    The Good:
    Visually stunning as I would expect from an SFW ship. There does seem to be a bug however with the side antenna as they are all sideways. I also did notice some dead space on the port side I believe.

    Although I personally wouldn't call this a fighter, combat wise she performs well but I don't have a weight class match in my fleet to do some real in depth fights. The ship has more than enough power to run every system while in combat.

    The Bad:
    Weapons could use a little polishing. I noticed the cannons and missiles do not have a clean 1:1:1 spread, in fact both weapons have excess blocks in both slaves and effects. That extra space could be better utilized

    Peirce is also seems to be a poor choice when it comes to missiles. Explosive deals a wider spread of damage and pierce also is negated 100% by shields (although that's probably a bug). Unless there is some special property pierce gives missiles that I am unaware of.
    It's an excellent ship and has lots of power, it can take on a dozen smaller fighters. However the builtin missile always missies. And it would be great with a couple of turrets.
    Performs good and does its job well as a multipurpose ship.
    When used in groups they can take down absolutely everything!
    Really pretty in a profoundly ugly way, This ship is top notch as an escort. A great addition to anyone's fleet!
