I was amazed by how good it is. 3 Guns, 1 MP turret, 210k mass, handles very well. I was able to dogfight against tier 4 kihs in endor without much problem. It doesn't oversteer like the bwing. My only gripe with it is that the wing mounted guns are spaced really far apart. The other 2 SP gun mounts are close together and right on the center line though. I ditched the 3rd gun and put 2 level 10 guns in. Crazy firepower, decent handling. This ship rocks.
This ship makes the Rih obsolette once you hit master.

Go to another SW that isn't gouging. I'm pretty sure the SW i see will be asking for about 750K, which is a very reasonable price.
1.5 mill is gouging. Shop around.

How is it compared to the firespray...
(never flow a firespray but) same mass, better hardpoint placement, smaller profile, identical/better stat's!?!?
I'd say they took our master level ship in Beta (the Firespray) and gave us something BETTER!!

Firespray at 2 gun 2 missle is still a better ship .. gun convergeance non existant still easier to hit with it's guns than the wingtip guns on the krayt .. manuverability again the firespray owns it ..
think of it as a firespray slower .. 1 extra gun with bad positioning and less manuverable .. and bigger target..
4 awings long and wingtip to wingtip 1/2 the hangar space of the space station it's not a fighter to pvp in ...
pve .. handles good enough i don't bother putting a gun in the turret as i'll never have a gunner .. and if i did he'd never hit anything anyways.

Got one of these today, it's a really awesome ship except for those UGLY white wings! I kept thinking about how stupid it looks when I was flying it.
Other than that it's a great ship. 
I like that idea with the 2 level 10 guns, excluding the wings.
