The Hornet is the largest ship that is still considered to be a fighter, and is used mostly as an assault platform. With four small weapon ports, it can destroy many ships very quickly. A drawback to the large number of ports is the huge amount of power it will require when using many energy weapons at the same time. For this reason, many Hornet pilots stagger their fire. Another drawback is the Hornet's unremarkable maneuverability, which makes it easy prey when up against smaller fighters, such as the [[Vulture]] and [[Centurion]].
| The Hornet is the heavy attack ship class, with 4 small weapon ports it can destroy many ships very easily. A draw back to the large amount of ports is the huge drain of power it will have when using energy weapons. Another draw back is when the ship is fully loaded it is not very maneuverable and makes easy pray when up against a [[ships:vulture|Vulture]].

The Hornet is the largest ship that is still considered to be a fighter, and is used mostly as an assault platform. With four small weapon ports, it can destroy many ships very quickly. A drawback to the large number of ports is the huge amount of power it will require when using many energy weapons at the same time. For this reason, many Hornet pilots stagger their fire. Another drawback is the Hornet's unremarkable maneuverability, which makes it easy prey when up against smaller fighters, such as the Vulture and Centurion.
