Despite this ship's classification as Very Heavy Fighter it belongs more in line with Heavy Fighters, being reasonably manueverable, small and with limited damage capability whilst still possessing a torpedo slot capable of supporting a Mini Razor (among other torpedo sized weapons). Like other Heavy Fighters it's main drawback is slow energy regeneration. A standard loadout of Buckshots will deplete it's energy within 5-10 seconds. Precise aim and energy management is crucial for Hammerhead pilots.
