Overview

The Kestrel Defender is the successor of the Kestrel which, after repeating reports of serious stabilizer problems, finally got banned by GalCop Galactic Health and Safety Executive.

Remarks

• While available to the player please keep in mind that you have only 1 t cargo capacity and no hyperdrive, flying this craft could be a challenge.
  

• Even for a ship made partly with the technology from a mysterious Empire in the unknown regions the Kestrel is just too much an Ubership. Instead of updating all stats I decided to make the purchase (very) difficult and replace it in most cases with a more realistic approach.

Warning

This ship/ships belong to the category Ubership, flying it will make you superior to most core-ships, but some opponents will be much stronger as well.
