My opinion is, that it is a great addition to the game.
It gives us a totally new type of vessel with which numerous new scenarios can be played out.
It is fast enough and not hard to handle. I don't know to what you are comparing it, but I think you are not talking from real experience with a similar vessel.
And furthermore, I think that we don't really need to have topics started about someone's personaly feelings about a certain vessel that are not based on facts. You could have discussed your feelings about this particular one in one of the numerous New Horizons threads that's allready out there.
