Full Review at The Fighter Review: Issue 10

Aesthetics: ★★★★☆

The ship has something of an elongated wedge, stretched to accomadate the many systems the ship contains. The heavyset build seems to belie the idea of being a light interceptor, but shaped armor keeps it from being too blocky...

Systems: ★★★★☆

The ship is well balanced in terms of its systems. A 1:4k kg gyroscope ratio makes it almost squirrelly, and while up/down thrusters are well-balanced against its impressive accelerating thrusters, the lateral thrusters seem a bit more sparse...

Armament: ★★★★☆

Overall: 4 out of 5 ★.
