I would like to stress that this is a good ship that hits hard and soaks up a lot of damage when speed is not an issue. However, I cannot recommend it on the grounds that it is far too slow and cannot keep up with pirates that are quite fast when it is not the primary target. This ship goes against my fleet doctrine of fast hard hitting ships and simply could not keep up performance-wise in terms of speed. It was often the turtle in combat either ignored in the center of a fight or unable to participate on the side of a fight. Mighty Brankor has several good ships in his fleet and I think that this one needs to be reworked to be not so heavily armored and slow but definitely check out his other ships I definitely use a number of them and very much enjoy his carriers and mining ships which are great.

It's a bit slow even with equipment that helps it's acceleration and extra crew otherwise it's great! Good Job!
