LFs aren't bad. In fact if you have a bunch of aces in LFs they'll kill ANY snub force you throw at them, just because of the invincibility part. Sure, you might get a lucky mine hit, but if they really are good I honestly doubt it.
The only reason why LFs aren't flown is because they're very unrewarding. You have to constantly be on your guard, deal with terrible dps which means timing your shots to avoid being out of core the entire time, be very careful with not getting mined and in general just tryhard to the max. In return you can die to anything from a lucky mini razor or missile to a nuke, and it can happen in the blink of an eye. Too stressful for most people to deal with, which is why we don't see many LFs out there.
P.S. I'm talking about the unhittable top tier LFs like the Liberator, Wyrm and Neko.
