Full Review at The Fighter Review: Issue 4


Aesthetics: ★★★☆☆

The ship has an austere, minimalist design, using a pod fighter layout. The aft section especially suffers from a degree of blockiness, and better use of shaped armor, and a livery, could help alleviate these problems.

Systems: ★★★☆☆

The ship is fully conveyed, thrust-balanced, and maintains a good gyro/weight ratio, which is good. The only point against it is that it must be manually reloaded; it has no connectors or collectors.

Armament: ★★★★☆

The ship is very well-armed, and the tight grouping of its armaments made possible by its pod design allow for a high degree of accuracy. It is also very heavily armored. The one issue that it has is the placement of the reloadable launcher - if fired while the ship is pitching up, backfire which destroys the cockpit is all but certain.

Overall: 3.6 out of 5 ★.
