Veteran Comments
Despite its absence of capship weapons, it is best in its role as a cargo escort against lots of bombers and no capital ships. Having a group of them in a convoy can cause trouble for all sorts of enemy bombers despite the lack of significant defensive weaponry on its underside.
The role this ship would most likely find itself in would be in convoy duty, as it is relatively fast, can take a pounding and is well suited to interdicting fighters and bombers so long as they don't approach its vulnerable sides. The Mentu unfortunately sports no anticap weapons heavier than flak cannons, so any capital ship heavier than a Fenris will blow the Mentu out of the water.
