Veteran Comments
Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.
Not too shabby for a starting ship, especially considering the alternative which is the slow and clumsy Caliburn which is far, far worse. However, as soon as you complete Life of a Test Pilot, you'll want to start using the Ray III E or W you got right away and ditch the original, as these two have more emphasized strengths and have weapons compatibilities to the more powerful weapons later on.
