Handling

Reduced mass makes this fighter very responsive to all strafing manuevers, while its grand total of seven forward firing guns (6 guns, 1 turret) enables it to deliver more firepower than most VHFs would be capable of. Despite its speed and firepower however, one will quickly notice that the Sabre is not the smallest of fighters, and its energy reactor limits its firepower potential. While an almost even match for the Titan, the Sabre needs to nonetheless work a lot more to outmanuever enemy ships and is therefore best suited for skilled pilots.
