Summary
The Punisher focuses on dealing high, consistent and partly armor-ignoring damage on medium range with its primary cannons. Its unique feature is the Environ Shield Utility, which surrounds the whole ship with a shield that absorbs any damage (to both hull and armor) incoming from any side. The shield has, however, a limited health pool and drains energy. While active, the Punisher's surface turns light blue and shiny all around. For the pilot, the shield's status is also visible on the hull widget.

When ramming another ship with the front while the Environ Shield is active, neither ship will take damage, however, the Punisher's front armor will be depleted. Doing the same with the top facing, will damage both, the Punisher's hull and armor, but not the shield.
