The Challenger trades one large hardpoint for two additional medium hardpoints, increasing its overall damage output in combat. It also retains the same manoeuvrability of the Chieftan, letting it keep its hardpoints on target and dodge fire. Its true power comes from its increased shield and armour health, which when combined with its mobility lets the Challenger become a very tricky ship to take down. Its extra Class 6 compartment lets it bring along a much larger Shield Cell Bank, which significantly boosts the power of its defences. The Challenger is more than capable of taking down any other medium ship, and even large ships like [[Anaconda]] are easy to defeat with the high mobility and damage output of the Challenger. Finally, the Challenger is even better against Thargoids with these buffs, letting it become an incredibly effective anti-Xeno vessel. | The Challenger trades one large hardpoint for two additional medium hardpoints, increasing its overall damage output in combat.

Its hardpoints are arranged as follows; one Small HP directly above the cockpit canopy, with the Large HP immediately above and behind that. The two remaining Smalls then flank the Large HP, being slightly above and off to the sides of that. The three Medium HPs are located below the centerline, with one directly below the cockpit (essentially a classic 'nose gun'), whilst the other two are located directly behind the forward landing gear. Utility slots are well-distributed and have minimal obstructions, with two on top roughly in the middle of the craft, and two on the underside slightly further back,. | |||
The Challenger has an increased cargo capacity of 152t over the Chieftain's 120t. This makes the Challenger a very good trader and Pirate as it is only outdone by the [[Federal Gunship]], [[Krait MkII]] and [[Python]] for medium ship cargo capacity. | The Challenger has an increased cargo capacity of 152t over the Chieftain's 120t.
