I looked up the strafe stats of the Storta vs. the rest of the cruisers.
It's got a grand total of 8% more strafe force.
This is negligible outside of a 1v1 cruiser duel.
I keep seeing that we need parity between the Outcasts and the Corsairs but if that's what the Outcast shipline is supposedly balanced around then I would love to know who balanced the duel-focused aggressively mediocre Storta against the group fight focused and super powerful yet absurdly light turning Praefect.
