The Z-4800 is the newest vessel form the manufacturers of the pirate line, attempting to get away from their legacy of producing slow and chunky ships, the greyhound is not a great success, but at least partially achieves the objective.

In actuality the Greyhound is not a Heavy Fighter, despite being classed as such, but more of a hybrid of Heavy and Very Heavy combining some of the elements of both. In essence the designers created a less heavily armored and armed ship that is able to out turn most very heavy fighters.

The Z-4800 is the newest model from the Z Series line of ships. Designed by the principle of need rather than creative design, the Greyhound is a stripped down combination of a number of heavier ships from the ship line, designed to at the very least match the speed and capabilities of mainline fighters of other factions. While not particularly exceptional in flight, the Greyhound nonetheless fills the escort niche, so desperately needed among users of the Z Series ship line.

The Greyhound suffers, however, compared to other heavy fighters, lacking the maneuverability of other ships in it's class. This has not stopped this ship becoming one of the favored vessels of the Liberty Rogues and Molly Republic though. As such it is a popular sight throughout space wherever credits are to be had.

{{Review|[[User:Sindroms|Sindroms]]| The Razorboat is the fine product of the [[Molly]]s and [[Liberty Rogues]] and is designed to piss off anyone looking for an easy kill. Recent changes in weapon loadouts, like adding a class 1 turret and a buff in turn speed to the mix has made it into an agile support ship and a deadly one at that. Mini razor is the only torpedo you need on this. |4.86}}

{{Review|[[TLI-Inferno]]| Like all of the rogue fighters, it doesn't fit into its own class, and it's underpowered in most cases.  This one is decently fast, and has very few guns.  It has the hull, and mobility of the lighter Very Heavy Fighters, the size of the smaller Heavy Fighters, and the firepower of the lighter Heavy Fighters and heavier Light Fighters  It is, however, smaller than the Rogues' ridiculous Light Fighter.  Like any ship, the right pilot can still destroy people in this ship, but with equally skilled pilots, the Greyhound will usually lose lose.  If you want to use any rogue fighters, the only one that can be viable is the [[Werewolf]], which is designed perfectly for a Rogue's job.
 +
 +
As for equipment, you'll want to take advantage of its 4 gun mounts being class 10, and it having a large power core, by using the strongest codenamed weapons you can find, regardless of power usage, and the light fighter turret mount is best satisfied with a shield-buster.  Unfortunately, tartarus, the rogue torpedo, costs 10,401 power, and this has a 10,400 power core, so... Out of your 4 guns, you'll have to have a shieldbuster, turning you into a VHF with a very weak amount of damage.

However, almost every ship can be great when used properly.  Oddly enough, I do very well in this ship.

DSCore: Greyhound

The Z-4800 is the newest model from the Z Series line of ships. Designed by the principle of need rather than creative design, the Greyhound is a stripped down combination of a number of heavier ships from the ship line, designed to at the very least match the speed and capabilities of mainline fighters of other factions. While not particularly exceptional in flight, the Greyhound nonetheless fills the escort niche, so desperately needed among users of the Z Series ship line.
