Manufacturer's Summary

---

An upscale version of the Scimitar, this ship is classified as a heavy fighter, and she is meant to take enterprising souls where the scimitar can't. With improved power core, heavier armor, better shields, and the capability of delivering far more firepower, this girl will help a brave pilot find fortune in the Borderworlds and Edge Worlds.

Sarah's Summary

---

We tend to keep the Switchblades on a pretty tight leash, and not entirely without reason. You know that bit about helping a brave pilot find fortune? Yeah, not so much. They're great for helping an inexperienced pilot find a plasma bolt, if you make the mistake of flying in a straight line. On the upside, the Switchblade has been the go-to ship for close-in patrols for a long time, and they don't come much more reliable, or easier to maintain then this. She's got a respectable degree of maneuverability, just don't expect to be dancing circles around Phantoms any time soon. With a lighter cannonade and less armor then a Sabre, at the trade off of slightly more maneuverability, you're better off keeping this one to the skirmishes, or as a holding force until the big(ger) guns arrive.
