Handling

Review without version number

Review Well one thing this ship has going for her is that she looks good. However this ship has a few disappointing issues with her, most notability the hitbox. When you are flying in this thing you will see shots impact your shields very far away from the actual ship (you will see your shield light up near your weapons panel), and you will take damage from it, meaning that whatever you are fighting can miss the ship model completely and still hurt you. This is a major problem for a light fighter, they have to rely on their speed and size to evade damage, and this ship seems easier to hit than the Cuirassier without being much more maneuverable. I also find that the thruster, being placed inside one of her engine pods is an odd design choice. The only real advantage you will have in this ship is that Brigand weapons are not very bad in the energy consumption department, but this is not enough to save the Mistral. Maybe in the next patch the hitbox will be fixed so she is smaller than a bomber. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Kikatsu
