This ship can even go toe-to-toe with larger ships such as the Missile Cruiser at times, given that it keeps it's distance and/or has adequate support backing it. This ship also has very strong shields, aiding in its ability to fight larger ships, however it's weapons have slow firing velocities, this ship struggles against smaller ships.
