Raven

In-game Description
Difficulty: Hard

''The Raven is based around a radically new combat methodology, focusing almost entirely on the manipulation of energy systems on target vessels. Capable of reducing enemies' systems and boosting allies, it is capable of dealing great damage to vessels whose energy cells are currently drained.''

Summary
The Raven sports one of the most powerful weapons in the game at present - the devastating Overcharge Beam. Using this weapon requires an immense amount of energy - something that the Raven cannot provide itself. As such, it uses its enemies as a secondary power source, draining their energy with its weapons and returning it back to them with the Beam. Although the Raven is powerful, it lacks significant defense, and is vulnerable to being focused. With the Raven, one must find a balance between sapping energy, using the Beam, and ducking behind cover to look for another opportunity.
