Anybody have any tips on using the Shogun? I get that IFed ships are generally pretty specialized and 'harder', so to speak, than other factions, but I can't see any reason to take a Shogun. While it may have two medium turrets and sensor drones, the low speed, passable shields, mediocre flux and, most of all, terrible amount of ordnance points render it a questionable destroyer. As best I can tell, it's only good for putting a pair of long range kinetics on and hoping nothing gets close to it-- something that, in my opinion, a Brawler can do in a smaller and cheaper package (if slightly reduced range).
I noticed it has a fairly large crew surplus-- is it meant as a troop carrier? Is the 'command ship' designation referring to capabilities it will have in a more campaign-rich future? Am I missing something? I like the look, hardpoints and layout... it just seems lacking in the core stats, particularly in terms of OP.
Criticism of the Shogun aside, thanks for all your work on the mod. Definitely one of the best factions around right now, in my opinion.
