I'm more curious as to see how the heck the Omega Device and Nucleon Ram are supposed to be applied against this faction.
(The Omega Device's one-shot nature and the Nucleon Ram's low range seem to run pretty contrary to the rest of IFed's armory, which, from what I can tell, emphasize long-range, high-damage ballistic strikes and huge barrages of missiles.)
Incidentally, have I mentioned that I love the Piranha? Sure, the label says "anti-fighter", but stick one on an Aurora (or the Lotus Conglomerate equivalent, the Eventide-class cruiser) and now you have a cruiser-weight shotgun. It does murderous things to shields.
(It's also not terrible on the Apogee, but the angled hardpoint makes it a bit more difficult to aim. You can try to rely on the homing nature of the delivery system, but it tends to detonate a bit too far from targets, in my opinion. Good if you can hit the long side of an enemy ship, though.)
