So as a classic Battlefront II Player, I always liked the appearance of the ship, and while the original version was not quite detailed, and could be casually observed as a gun platform instead of a escort frigate, I could really see what the Artists were going for when designing this vessel. In a way, this ship was designed in just the manner to almost a more imperial looking alternative to the Lancer-class frigate. Combine that with the fact that they were visually at least, faster due to the smaller size, and more maneuverable, I think these would shore up the Star Destroyers from classic Rebel "Trench Run" tactics, allowing them to even just completely cover the SD's shield generators and bridge with additional anti star fighter turrets, leaving the SD main turbo lasers and ion cannons to bombard the target or further suppress the rebels from getting closer.
This ship in Armada, could then based on this speculation and description could either give, or gain bonuses from larger vessels, allowing the Imperial Raider, and other smaller vessels to be more offensive in their roles and giving the larger SD a unique buffer that creates a new gameplay element by having proper escort ships and able to recreate some Battlefront tactics in this game. I want to say this ship could possible give bonuses to fighters, in the anti starfighter role, but that might upset the balance with the fighter squadrons to much, but if it maybe could maybe buff tie bombers that are in the rear arc's defense or something like that, acting as a proper screen might be interesting as well.
Anyone else have ideas that could get this particular ship into the game.
