When the Bounty Hunters Guild started to operate in [[Nomad Worlds|Nomad space]], they encountered unexpected hardships - even the most advanced [[Hammerhead]]s were unable to survive in hostile environment. Because of the enormous potential profits, the Bounty Hunters invested into developing a new Destroyer-class ship that was later constructed in [[Liberty]] military shipyards. With their new destroyers, the Bounty Hunters felt much more confident among their Nomad, [[Corsairs|Corsair]] and [[The Order|Order]] enemies, being able to hunt Nomads and even fulfill bounty contracts against the Corsairs in the most remote parts of known space.

{{Review|[[User:Pepe|Pepe]]|Before buying a Thresher (or any other BHG capital ship), you should ask your self one question: what will you use it for? Where you'd like to fly it? You should read BHG Core ID at this point.

With any BHG capital your space shrinks down to non-house systems. Capital ships are heavy military vessels and not alowed in-house. Your RP will be pretty limited to Omicros and Omega-56, as that is Cores Zone of Influence. Core is the private BHG army, they are not house hunters, so that's it, like it or not. But, concernig a fact who (and what) will you encounter in Omicrons, fun is guaranteed. You'll see a lot of blood, colored in red, purple and green. Red would be yours, but... never let it distract you! And there's quite a lot of systems to "arrange" mentioned encounters.

{{Review|[[User:TLI-Inferno|TLI-Inferno]]|The thresher fits into the tradition of bounty hunter ships being smaller, faster, and more fish-shaped than other ships of their class. While, unlike the bottlenose, the thresher is neither the smallest nor fastest of its class, it still manages to be effective for its size. It's still pretty small and reasonably fast for a capital ship, and has a good amount of firepower. All of the turrets can fire forwards and backwards, giving this ship the ability to fight effectively in chasing and fleeing situations. Even with standard BHG Cruiser Turrets I was able to kill a swarm of fighters and bombers single-handedly, due to the close hardpoint placement, making the turrets more accurate. However, you would be mostly unable to shoot bombers and fighters off of other people using those turrets, so you may want to invest in solaris cruiser turrets if other players are undefended against smaller ships.|4.86}}
Thresher is good choice for that, as it is:
 
 
 
1. agile
 
 
 
2. small
 
 
 
3. hard to hit (sharp and slimm like Duchess of Cambridge, God bless her!)
 
 
 
4. low power core
 
 
 
5. weak armor
 
 
 
6. low ammount of regens
 
 
 
7. just 2/6 turett mounts
 
 
 
 
 
If it sounds like an overgrown gunboat to you, it's because it is. Gun covering is well balanced: all guns shoot front and back, half guns on both sides. But, facing your BHG ship's sides to enemy is bad idea anyway. Keep your self low profiled to enemy, maintain safe distance from other capitals and dodge a lot. Thresher can't sustain heavy fire, but it can go in and out fast. It can punch hard and retreat before shields drop down. Some shield-running after every attack will help recharge both power and shields.
 
 
 
 
 
Never forget: This is just a support ship, not a tank.
 
 
 
 
 
So, use it for support and you will always get back to your base in one piece, together with rest of your fleet. Your favorite combination of long-range anticapital and short-range antifighter guns can help your bomber squad a lot. Spam missiles at capitals from safe distance, try to damage their hard-points. Or use Pulses, or Light Mortar. Or all three. At least, help keeping enemys shields down, so your bombers can concetrate on enemy's hull. And when your bombers come back to your hug, with dozen enemy fighters on their tails - help them defend.
 
 
 
 
 
If enemy swarms bombers on you, make some wild TS-ing, shoot back and they will soon search for some easier target. If things get very rough, well... RUN. With long-range setup I stongly recomend Thresher as your future FLAG ship.
 
 
 
 
 
If supporting just your battleship, maintain safe distance but don't forget your friend is counting on your CD. Use your agility to come in and out, drop some CDs, make a nice diversion or two, empty your powercore, but generally leave close-fight for your better armored friend.
 
 
 
 
 
When you master dodging/shooting with Thresher, change your setup. Try 2cerb/6BHG-turetts, use chainfire and have the best fun light cruiser can offer.}}

DSCore: Thresher

When the Core started to operate in Nomad space, they encountered unexpected hardships - even the most advanced Hammerheads were unable to survive in hostile environment. Because of the enormous potential profits, they invested into developing a new Destroyer-class ship that was later prototyped at Liberty Navy shipyards. With their new destroyers, the Core felt much more confident among their Nomad, Corsair and Order enemies, being able to hunt Nomads and even fulfil bounty contracts against the Corsairs in the most remote parts of known space. These Destroyers are now constructed by the Core at a secure facility in the Omicrons.
