Imperial Courier
Template:Quote The Imperial Courier is a fast multipurpose ship confirmed for début in patch 1.3, the "Powerplay" update.[1] Just barely larger than the Sidewinder, it is the second-lightest playable ship thus far. The Courier is not as fast or long-ranged as its name might suggest, but is armed, shielded and armored well beyond what would be expected for its size in compensation, acting like a medium-heavy fighter in combat. In terms of agility it ranks somewhere between the much more powerful Fer-de-Lance and the longer-ranged Diamondback, falling well short of the Vulture, Sidewinder or Eagle. Priced between the Diamondback and the Vulture, this ship is an important step up to early pilots who prefer combat over other occupations.
