Death Scythe

[Jinx]

one of the greatest problems is its lack of a sufficient powersupply. - even nuke mines need energy to drop. - so you might not really want to rely on them too much.

the armour is quite thin, but thats OK - cause the ship itself is flat and can strafe well up and down - its not too easy to hit ( i don t know the hitbox - i m just judging from its visible shape now ) and it has 6 gunslots, which is just ok.

one of the greatest problems is that it is outclassed by mk2 light fighters. - if we had no MK2 LFs, it would be a nice HF fighter. - but LFs have equal to more armour, more manouverability and 2x8 and 2x9 guns - which is ... in the end more firepower than 4x6 and 2x7. - the torp slot is really good - and since a sunslayer does not require energy it can be a nasty surprise for an enemy.

it is a good pirate ship against freighters ( vanilla freighters, not disco freighters like the turannic ) - but it might be up to the job of pirating ships like the rhino, the camera even ( although the camera is more agile, has more armour, more shields, more firepower - well.... never mind )

if that ship was smaller and as agile as the slipstream, it would - well... it would be something like the slipstream - a heavy light fighter.... but right now, its a heavy heavy fighter.
