Necessity to counter enemy capital ships forced the Corsairs to develop their own bomber model. The Praetorian is far superior to Titan in terms of hull strength and power supply capacity. However, the upgrades affected maneuverability in an adverse way, and this ship can barely defend itself if caught without escort by enemy fighters.

Handling

Review without version number
Review The handling of the Praetorian can be described as below average for it's class, but it's power output and hull strength make up for it. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Ferongr

Review without version number

Review Even though this ship has a low agility, underestimating her is unwise. The strong power core makes her one of the most deadly to any vessels up from heavy gunboats. With the high recharge rate, you can fire 2 SNACs before running out of energy, thus making anti-cap fights much shorter, and more power to deal with NPCs. 2 Praetorians are enough to take down a Dreadnought. However, if you are not familiar to heavy ships, you'll find this ship quite hard to dodge fire and counter fighters. Adv: Good power and armor Small profile Torp hardpoint position, helps a lot in dogfight Higher firing accuracy than most others Disadv: Low agility Recommended to skilled bomber pilots, a even match for the Falcata. Good against caps. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Cyber Dragon
