I tried it all last night, I liked it all around, but yes you have to /stuck for most lanes.
Make sure you have the trade lane you're docking on selected when you type /stuck and it centers you, gets you going first try most of the time.
Still though this is now a very useful multi-role ship that could be used for a bunch of different purposes. This is the type of ship I'd expect to be put to use by smaller factions that don't have cruisers, or anything above a cruiser, to augment their fleets. Technically with enough of them with the right loadout and armor, you could siege up to a core 3 reasonably.
I wasn't gonna say it first but I wouldn't mind seeing it get a CD and maybe one or two cruiser turret slots. With the current rule, the option to leave off a CD is always there.
