"The best of the best," this heavily outfitted rig represents the pinnacle of Liberty's technological advances and design savoir faire. With its elevated armor and power rating as standard and the additional mount for firepower, it's no wonder that this ship is the number one choice of the Liberty Armed Forces.

Handling

Review without version number

Review This is certainly one of the cheaper HFs around, but almost useless from a practical perspective in modern dogfights. The Defender is fast, handles low level weaponry pretty well, but is otherwise outclassed by just about everything as she is only able to mount a class 4 shield and has a mere 1600 hull points... a single volley could easily destroy the ship. But the Defender is not without her hilarity values! Load up the guns with the best pulses you can cram on, put in a mine your powerplant can handle and slap on a torpedo, the Starkiller should do nicely and watch the fun. With a full pulses on your main guns you can take a shield down in a couple passes and a torpedo should kill a VHF in 3 or 4 solid hits. While impractical, it is funny. Just do not expect this ship to last long outside Connecticut. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Kikatsu
