A recent discussion on r/EliteDangerous highlights player frustration with the Kestrel ship's dominance in Terminal Prosecution missions at hard difficulty. Many lobbies reportedly fill with Kestrels, which some commanders criticize for low damage and weak survivability. Players flying larger ships like the Corvette report drawing enemy fire and dying more often, while Kestrels either fall quickly or escape via supercruise. This ongoing debate reflects broader concerns about ship viability and team dynamics in combat, influencing commanders' strategic choices.
- Kestrel criticized for low damage and survivability.
- Corvette pilots attract more enemy aggression but face higher risk.
