So as noted here, nice weapons and cargo upgrade. Not noted is the two S1 mounts now accept point defense weapons which means you can reasonably fight with this solo. Huge upgrade.

As always, a little signature analysis shows if you turn off all your weapons and many shields, fly a single stealth reactor and pair of stealth coolers, your EM goes to 7.5. That is not great and this armor is never going to make it a good choice for stealth operations, but it could be worse. Compared to stealth landing mid-sized vehicles, it is not as good as the stealthed Lancer Max.

For stealth troop insertion, the Prowler and eventually the Sentinel with the Hoplite BUK are still your best options. However, this ship definitely has a lived-in feel. Like the Corsair is feels like a home, and the Sentinel and Prowler don’t offer that.

I am happy for Valkerie owners as it was a bit of a meh ship before a jack of all trades but not really any good at any of those trades.

Seems much more well rounded with 90scu a couple of extra pilot guns and the dropship and turret gameplay.

I am a firm believer that cig should put some pilot guns on every ship as frankly who the fnuck is gonna want to sit around just do piloting all day no fun pew pew for you pilot, just sit in that seat and move that throttle - it's gonna be boring as shit.
