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.

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 |

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.

Corsairs' finest Cap ship hunter isn't so great compared to other Medium bombers. The major pros are guns placement and ship size / shape – which is full of holes and not so easy to hit. However, the agility is so poor that it's comparable to Heavy bombers. The biggest con though is the Snac placement, having one of the worst in the game – at the end of wings. Armor is alright, a little above average. All in all, a bomber that feels really sluggish when flying it.
Pros: Guns placement, Size
Cons: Agility, Snac placement
Rating: 5/10
