Hmmm... I've flown in one. It's not much of a challenge. The thing that sucks about it is that in combat, it takes forever to kill an opponent with those phase turrets. Even worse if you're fighting the Voinians. (or, Voinionoinens, as some people like to call them...)

it may take forever, but you are almost always sure to win, seeing as recharge is incredible and you have more armor than an igazra

Very funny, now beam down my clothes. These ladies look rest-less..... uh-oh...
I've flown one, but as has been said, it doesn't have enough guns to compensate for the invincibility. I prefer capturing one of the Enhanced Aradas from the end of the Azdgari string and adding dospect armor and a shield generator. It was invincible to everything except a fleet of about thirty Crescent Warships or Igazras, plus it has a reasonable amount of room for weaponry.

Yes, capturing an enhanced arada is the way to go. If you can get the shield generator and some shield upgrades on that, you're damn near invincible. If only there was a way to get one before you get the experimental generator installed. Then you become a beast.
