With the Breen warship, I was a bit disappointed. Maybe I'm used to my Nebula/Megellan, but when I used it against Starbase 234, my hull and shielding were cut down very quick. Even the firepower was....meh....
I tried Starbase 234 again with my Nebula/Megellan, and was able to take down the defenses a lot quicker. However, I'm still unable to take down the base itself.
It is a Carrier, is it not? That means, it has average shields where the Nebula as a scie ship has a good shield mod.
It's also slow which means lower defense value.
It has the 6 weapons slot of a scie ship only and I am not sure on sensor analysis to lower your targets resistance.
The strength of a carrier are the swarm of pets to boost your firepower controll and defense.
A totally different gameplay experience which takes some getting used to.
Your ship most likely is not fully leveled yet either. It will get stronger as you get better with it, too.
I am only getting it for the trait, though.
