A very strange craft. It's good at getting the job done when left alone (best secondary loadout of the light fighters if you can live without Trebuchets, Maxim compatibility, decent gun placements), it can survive furballs better than most others thanks to its target profile and agility. However, you can forget about mixing the two since you can't ignore being shot at, not even for a short time.
This could be so much better. Being a Maxim platform would be so much more useful if reactor output actually did anything. And anything that's supposed to be an 'advanced interceptor' should really be compatible with Trebuchets.
It does fix a hole in the Vasudan lineup (they don't have any other craft able to carry Maxims and anti-fighter primaries at the same time), but it doesn't do so brilliantly... they still don't have a nimble craft that can withstand some punishment. The Thoth and Horus still excel at their respective jobs, the last thing the Vasudans needed was another ultralight craft.
