Release the Raven's Claw back to us civis like in 4.84!

[BaconSoda]

The Raven's Claw/Shadow is different. When a ship is given a turning ability, there are two stats:

1. The speed in which is goes into full-turn (acceleration)
2. Full-turn speed

The Shadow is given extremely fast full-turn speed but extremely slow acceleration. It manages this by acting like the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: it makes a complete roll perpendicular to the way you want it to turn before actually turning at turn speed. What's also somewhat odd about it is that it's very flat with a very small powercore.

It's weird. Really weird.

What ends up happening is that you get a ship which turns late and when it does turn, whichever direction you turn it in shows the enemy the profile that's easiest to shoot. When you do eventually get into full turn, you often don't even need to be there anymore. Then when you do go to shoot, you drain the Eagle plant in few shots.

That said, is it good? Yeah. It's pretty good. It's just that no one has learned how to fly it. Why would they? That means they'd be bad at flying every other ship in the game.

Why am I saying this? I'm not quite sure, but the way it flies is different, to say the least.

PS: the Penubra Hitbox has been fixed. It turns like a HF and it has less armor than the Wyrm, the smallest, most agile LF in the game. You tell me: does that sound good to you?
