XIV ships are great, with the exception of the Falcon which misses the point entirely. The Onslaught XIV is a straight upgrade over the normal one (don't even pretend like the speed penalty matters on something already that slow) and the Enforcer XIV is a brick shithouse of a destroyer that can withstand a ridiculous amount of punishment for its size class. Slap on some swarmers, flak, and an HVel or two and it makes for an excellent escort that can stay by heavier ships side in pitched battles providing great defense against fighters and missiles as well as decent long range shield pounding. XIV champ when?

Since I just got an Enforcer XIV I can report its stats: I've got 5 more OP, 100 more armor (up to 1390 with heavy armor and armored weapon mounts), 21 more flux (with T4 and max vents, no flux distributor hullmod, but if I did it gives me 64 instead of 60 and brings the total up to 525), and at 16 capacitors its giving me 8400 capacity instead of 8000, and 63 speed (with an officer with helmsmanship) instead of 69 speed (I'm getting a 5% speed boost, 3 total, from 85% CR).

So for this build, its 5 more OP free and 4 OP in flux stats for a total of 9, plus 100 armor, at the cost of 7% maneuverability and 6 total speed.
