The Raven's Talon is one of the Independent Miners Guild's most popular ships, and despite having been on the open market for quite some time, this ship remains the first choice for many pilots. Designed to the highest standards, the Guild has made the Raven's Talon into a formidable fighter indeed. Built with a substantial power core, excellent handling, and reinforced armour plating, the Raven's Talon is made to survive in the hostile environment of the Borderworlds and serves admirably under all conditions.

The Raven's Talon can be found in service across Sirius, having made its way into the black market, and is sold all over the sector. In addition to being flown by IMG pilots, it can be found in the hands of mercenaries, freelancers, pirates, and many others. Its popularity is in no small part due to the rigorous quality standards the Guild holds itself to, making the Raven's Talon one of the most durable and dependable ships on the market.

Outdated Review (4.85)

Review (4.85) The Raven's Talon handles much as it looks, mildly agile. The heavier weapon payload and power supply makes it a ship that can fill out for many pilots. My first pick as a ship since my first days on Discovery, the Raven's Talon's a superb ship if you want a balanced mixture of firepower and speed - along with the ability to improvise for payloads suited to your style of fighting. While this ship is by no means the 'best' very heavy fighter, it offers a chance for players to feel out their style of combat and weapons. It's response time for turning is a little sluggish at times, something I noticed in sparring bouts with a Bastet very heavy fighter, but it is a ship open to most civilians and most factions, making it a good pick for those not affiliated with military or pirates.
