The Khartu-al is classified as a light fighter. So it is in the same class as the Gladius, the Arrow and the Buccaneer. Overall: the Khartu-al is the fastest and most agile ship in this class and has also a general good but for a LF bad forward acceleration and is also the ship with the lowest firepower. But that seems okay for balancing reasons. With the durability it is in line with the Gladius. It has more shield then the Arrow and less HP then the Buccaner (Body HP only). So it seems, that the Khartu-al is balanced and in line with other LF. But there are some major problems. 1. The cross-section is way way bigger then the other LF. She is twice as heavy and twice as high as the Arrow, twice as wide as the Buccaneer. And that is a really big problem. One of the biggest advantages of the LF is that they are fast, nimble and small. So that they are hard to hit. But that is not the case with the Khartu-al. She is super fast and nimble but the cross-section is sooo big that everyone can hit her super easy. You have that speed advantage but you cant use it. So she is an easy target and has the lowest firepower. 2. I think there is something wrong with the booster capacitor. There are two possibility's: a) the booster capacitor is too small or b) the engines drink too much or both. The other LF are not so fast and nimble but their booster hold longer and charge faster. I like the ship because it is special and she needs a special handling. That is okay. And I do not want a big buff because everybody else would fly her. But a change is needed. Don't make her too strong, keep her special but change her a bit to make the Khartu-al a viable option. Speed | Top Speed | for.

Top Speed: it is 88 m/s (7%) faster then the slowest one. For. Acc.: it is 4,3 G (49%) slower then the fastest one. DPS: it has 1.032 DPS (80%) less then the LF with the highest DPS. Body-HP: it has 960 HP (43 %) less then the LF with the most HP. Mass: It is 40.000 kg (125 %) heavier then the lightest one. To add some additional information: The fuel tank is nearly twice as big as the other LF. But that means not that the Khartu-al can fly longer then the others. Tank | Main Engines Consumption | Fuel Intake | Duration Khartu-al: 120k L | 77 L/s | 29 L/s | 24 min Arrow: 75k L | 51 L/s | 34 L/s | 73 min It is also the only LF without energy and ballistic armor but with an stealth armor that reduce the signature by 10 %. But it seems that this makes (currently) no noticeable difference or advantage in comparison to other LF. Additional it is also the only LF without Missiles. Summery B Why she needs a change It has the lowest firepower. It has the lowest forward acceleration. It has the smallest hull capacity (body only) It has the largest mass. It has the largest cross section from all combat directions. It has the shortest flight time (due to consumption). It is the only one who has no energy and ballistic armor. It is the only one who has no missiles. It's more than twice as expensive (ingame) Although it has the 10% signature reduction, the IR signature is twice as large as that of the Arrow and the EM Signature is 1/4 bigger then the Arrow or the Gladius (with comparable equipment) @YogiKlatt-CIG
