EpicJp21 aye it's a broadsider for sure, but ideally you don't expose the head and tail for very long as the 3 front facing and 2 rear facing shields are only meant to aid in swapping sides and are usually enough as the ship pivots fairly quickly for how much it weighs. The rear is actually pretty strong thanks to all that armour and will always out last the head of the ship (although the ship is weak against missiles while pivoting).
Part of the reason why I like this ship the most is that while its a fairly strong ship you actually need to pay attention while using it and be active with it during a fight. Consistently switching sides, knowing when to do so and which way to do so are important as well as managing you engagement distance and focusing the firepower, its just more rewarding to play than a kiter that only really does 1 or 2 of those things.
You should see the first version of the ship I made though, that thing always kept getting decapitated. Its always a work in progress 😛
Edit: I could go ahead and beef it up but I feel like i'd lose alot of its aesthetic and character, besides I can always make a new ship thats based off of its shape and see how that works out (if I have the space)
