Eh, in my opinion, the Wolf and Tempest are much better. They have both very strong shield (high shield-damage-to-flux conversion ratios), and on top of that can engage at very long ranges with their medium and missile mounts to stay out of fire. Both of these lets them survive on the battlefield far better than the Versant... especially considering the Versant's 700 firing range, by the way, almost always leaves it in the instant-kill radius of cruiser explosions.
The Versant dies too quickly for its high cost (27000 base price, which is a about a cheaper destroyer or 2-3 standard frigates) and how hard it is to find in shops (meaning you can't replace them if lost). It's not really worth using as a fleet frigate given cheaper and more common frigates can endure battle a lot better. Even a few destroyers with even better attack and defense can be employed for what the Versant costs.
Even if we only look at quality and ignore the price/quantity arguments it doesn't do well. The Tempest, by comparison, at 36000 credits has double the shield-damage-to-flux conversion ratio, has 85% the speed of the Versant does (when the Versant is in speed form), and a drone fighter bay with a high quality drone on top of that. So the Versant doesn't stand out in either quality or quantity. And that's assuming you're using vanilla balance, and not playing with other mods which introduce even better frigates.
If I hadn't modded up its stats in my own game, I would never use it except for catching fleeing ships after combat. It's too expensive, too rare, and too fragile to use in real battle, in my opinion. But at the end of the day, this is your mod, so if you think the Versant is perfectly fine as it is, then it's ultimately your call to make.
