Currently queueing into DM to have a go with this ship. Only got a few mins of use in Beta so interesting to see how it stacks up

well. It was horrible to fly without engine power for me 
It is more maneuverable than the condor but not as fast I think. also it seems like it was not beta tested since I get these strange flashes of black in the cockpit. seems like the player model gets in the way of the camera.
I'm not the right lvl for silent running yet, so have not tried it yet. It is gonna be a beast with silent running though!

The ship: meh... (tried, not interested)
Yep. Bunch of things appear to be broken in 1.5.
Do you still get audible warnings when hit? I do not any more - pretty annoying...

Whoooah there tiger. Mods, please ban for not being just another squeeeeiing sycophant.
lol. I don't understand your comment
Yeah, my impression of it was "meh" as well.
The only area where it really shines is punishing MC sidewinders...

Yeah I am already back to the condor. Its a slightly slower, more manouverable condor. Slightly better shields. But speed trumps everything else pretty much, so too slow for me.
I could see it being good against opponents who run kinetics. The small hitbox and strong shields make it incredibly hard to take down
Not really. Rapid cannons get it fairly quickly. And it is easy to catch-up to it in the Condor.
it might be just me, but I feel the "dashboard" takes up too much space on the screen. Thankfully I use trackir, so I can compensate. Not all have trackir so im guessing it must be kind of annoying for other people.

I quite like it. So far I feel I can easier get behind the condor. If you position yourself right on the map, you can get away from the condor by maneuvering around structures.
I like it so far. It gives me some additional hits on target every turn, because of maneuverability; + has a bit better shields
But I can't ram rings to take power-ups - Condor is much better at it

I dig the imperial fighter. It seems that its max speed is quite heavily affected by pips to engines (effectively making the top speed a bit slower), but it also seems to care less about not being in the blue zone. Lower top speed, but better at maneuvering while at speed. Feels kinda like a tiny FAS, actually.
Edit: Forgot to mention- OH MY GOD, this thing is susceptible to spinning out. If you so much as brush up against anything with the iFighter, it does some pretty impressive gymnastics. I honestly didn't realize a ship even COULD spin that fast, with the exception of some extraordinary situations.

The latest patch seems to have either slowed the conder or sped up the imperial fighter. I was flying the conder and the fighters were getting away from me. So I switched to see what was going on and indeed I could get away from condors as well. Combine that with the better maneuverability and better shields, and it appears clearly better than a condor. The burst/beams are available sooner than pulses as well. Interesting.
I will give it some more trial and error but so far with the latest patch it seems better than a condor.

It's my new ship. You can turn so fast in it. Just don't stay out in the open with it too long.
So after having flown it some more, its pretty awesome. More manouverable than a condor, about as fast, and shields almost as strong as an eagle. And near 0 mass. When you tap anything you flip around a million times. Gives me headaches in the rift, I have to close my eyes when that happens. I would love for this ship to have some mass so it doesn't spin around like crazy when it hits something.
Protip: toggling FA off and on again stops you spinning pretty much instantly
