Has the core and regen rate of a medium bomber, but now the fastest turn rate of any bomber?

Is this OP?

Is the ship huge or something to balance this? I don't know coz I've never flew in one, just looking at the stats in FLStat.

Upholder

Turn Rate: 61.73
Core: 45390
Regen Rate: 1880

Touketsu (Light Bomber)

Turn Rate: 61.23
Core: 38200
Regen rate: 1722

Orchid (now a Medium Bomber)

Turn Rate: 58.73
Core: 45390
Regen rate: 1882

response time is just as important as turn rate.

also the bomber was buffed probably because it was horrible before, probably why it was nicknamed the cupholder.

Yes.

Fly in one for a couple months, you'll learn pretty quick that it's far from "OP".

I'd honestly rather fly a Havoc or Touketsu (And that's why I do, even as leader of the [LN]).

I am going to stand up here and say that, in my opinion, the upholder is a lovely ship and I have been enjoying to participate in rp and pvp with it ever since I started my LN character back in 4.86. I love it and I will continue flying it no matter how bad it is. If only for the fact it looks very liberty-ish.

Response time basically = dodging ability as Dii already stated. The Upholder is also an absolutely massive target.

Upholder is gross, that's why I fly a Challanger

cupholder is still crap don't worry.

it turns faster?

well, didnt notice that.

it's a pretty good ship...not GREAT or anything but it's fun to fly (still like the Roc better)
It's wide...so that makes up for the turning :/
