DSCore: Raven's Talon

The Raven's Talon is a civilian vessel built by many independent shipbuilding factions, such as the Independent Miners Guild, Zoners and Junkers. A ship not usually bought for its looks, it is a good choice for the freelancer who prefers solid performance over flash.

The Raven's Talon can be found in service across Sirius, having made its way onto the black market, and is sold all over the sector. In addition to being flown by civilian pilots, it can be found in the hands of many mercenaries, freelancers and pirates. Its popularity is in no small part due to the widespread availability of compatible replacement parts, making the Raven's Talon one of the most easily maintainable ships on the market.

Handling

Outdated Review (4.85)

Review (4.85) The Raven's Talon handles much as it looks, mildly agile. The heavier weapon payload and power supply makes it a ship that can fill out for many pilots. My first pick as a ship since my first days on Discovery, the Raven's Talon's a superb ship if you want a balanced mixture of firepower and speed - along with the ability to improvise for payloads suited to your style of fighting. While this ship is by no means the 'best' very heavy fighter, it offers a chance for players to feel out their style of combat and weapons. It's response time for turning is a little sluggish at times, something I noticed in sparring bouts with a Bastet very heavy fighter, but it is a ship open to most civilians and most factions, making it a good pick for those not affiliated with military or pirates.
