Granted, the ship is fast, manuverable, has kick-ass guns, shields, and thruster, but I doubt the ship could get away from a fight with a BS unscathed. I was in that ship, engaging a Kusari patrol. This included a Destroyer, two Gunboats, and a handful of fighters. The fighters were downed easily (Well, as easy as one could expect with them jumping all over the place... Kusari ships are really f***ing annoying), but the gunboats and destroyer were a little harder. All told they brought down my shields on more than one occasion, but thats where the armor upgrades come in. To be honest, anyone can get those.
Frankly, it's not much different from some of the other Super Heavy Fighters, it just comes with the guns you want. Not to mention the lack of a minedropper or torp/cruise disrupter hard-point.
This is the real true story of rock and roll; it was not about anything more then, how to live your life, as a gangster, in sartorial splendor, and turning the world into a place where normality would never return again...- Malcolm McLaren
