I recently (less than two hours ago ) Aquired this ship for Vennex my Gorn science officer
She handles well , making turns at half impulse and full impulse better than my previous ship (a Raptor)
Still working on the weapons rig at the moment i have dual Plasma at the Fore (two sets) a plasma torp launcher fore and twin aft plasma turrets

The Barrier shield seems an effective option (fired behind me it bought me time to evade enemies I could not have destroyed with aft guns

All in All i am pleased with this purchase and can recomend it
