Template:Quote The Imperial Courier is a fast multipurpose ship just barely larger than the Sidewinder. It is the third-lightest-hulled playable ship (after the Sidewinder and Hauler) thus far but its upgrades are heavier.
The Imperial Courier is armed and very well shielded for its small size, making it a great and evasive fighter in combat. In terms of agility it ranks somewhere close to the Viper Mk III. While it has a good pitch rotation speed, its slightly weaker vertical-lateral thrusters cause the Courier to drift more than the Viper. Even though the Courier has the same top boost speed as Viper, due to its low hull mass relative to modules, it is slightly slower and can't boost as often as the Viper, dropping down from the top speed faster.
The Imperial Courier's shields are much better than the Viper Mk III's and Cobra Mk III's, being almost on par with those on a Vulture. Unlike the Vulture, the Imperial Courier does not have as severe of power management issues, and is thus better able to equip shield boosters and Shield Cell Banks.
The weapon hardpoints are located in the following places: 1 medium hardpoint at the front of each engine nacelle, and 1 medium hardpoint underneath the nose.
