Rhodan's Dragon Review

Graceful design commands respect. The Dragon is a Kusari's answer to the Barracuda. A heavy fighter with a sleeker profile and more appealing looks.

Elegant Design
The Dragon retains the small size of its light fighter equivalent, the Drake, but adds two more class 6 weapons. A considerable boost in firepower also comes with 800 more hull points, making the total 3600. Combined with the class 6 equipment, this makes for a powerful machine indeed.

Expert Artisanship
The Dragon has the same hull strength and equipment class as the Barracuda, but the Dragon has a smaller frontal profile, making it a more difficult target. Also, the Dragon is not at risk of losing its weaponry, a major downfall of its bounty hunter equivalent. However, it can lose it's thruster and countermeasures, which some may find more fatal than losing two weapons.

A Summary
Class 6 ships are the workhorses of Sirius. The Hawk, Drake, Barracuda, Wolfhound, Drone, Dromedary and Dragon, all embody the powerful capabilities of the most common equipment class. The Dragon is a beautiful ship with powerful capabilities, but compared to the Barracuda it is not maneuvrable enough, a flaw that can mean the difference between life and death.
