Alliance Crusader: Difference between revisions
calling the crusader's jump range low compared to other ships, then using the fer-de-lance as an example of another such ship, is a bad idea as the FDL has a lower jump range. the later comparison is also unneseccary. |

The Crusader retains the three [[Military Compartment]]s found in both of its predecessors, but trades the Chieftain's single Class 4 [[Internal Compartment]] for two Class 3 slots. This alteration provides slightly more flexibility in terms of module selection, but results in the same maximum cargo capacity as the Chieftain: 120t. | The Crusader retains the three [[Military Compartment]]s found in both of its predecessors, but trades the Chieftain's single Class 4 [[Internal Compartment]] for two Class 3 slots.

The jump range of the Crusader is even lower than that of the Challenger | The jump range of the Crusader is even lower than that of the Challenger. This makes the Crusader a less than ideal option for exploration and further emphasizes its specialized combat use, as most combat ships tend to have greater mass values and consequently lower jump ranges. | ||
Compared to the Chieftain and the Challenger, the Crusader has lower mobility and multipurpose potential, as well as reduced weapons loadout versatility due to its lower number of total hardpoints. However, its ability to deploy up to two fighters simultaneously is something that should not be underestimated, especially when these are flown by skilled pilots. Therefore, the Crusader is a decent option for commanders who make good use of ship-launched fighters, but for others, the Chieftain and Challenger may be better suited to their needs. | Compared to the Chieftain and the Challenger, the Crusader has lower mobility and multipurpose potential, as well as reduced weapons loadout versatility due to its lower number of total hardpoints.
