This is a recon and hit and run attack frigate often seen in wings of 3, it has 5 forward weapons, four Plaser (plasma induced laser) and one antimatter torpedo launcher.
The Plaser weaponry does about 120% against shielding and 80% against hull
The AMT is for causing massive hull damage, but can be used against shields as well (120% hull 80% shields_
The raptor is about 2/3s the size of a liberty gunship and would turn only slightly faster. Because of this, it's not suited for close in combat with small craft but for rotating attack runs on a medium to large target.
It's double thrusters and generally high acceleration would allow it reach high speeds to quickly get in, anc back out of battle to recover from damage and prepare for another run.
The downisde is that this ship has very little strafing abilty and relys on the ship itself being turned in the desired direction.
Very pirate-like don't you think?
