Another typo in the manual is the mass values for the Krait. I'm quite sentimental about the good old Krait, ever since my original Elite days Ive wanted to fly one. When I finally got the chance I wasn't let down. The Krait is very agile but a bit tight in the cargo space department. My ideal configuration is "Class 1 Military Drive (A must due to the tight space), 1 Shield unit (Prevents costly repairs the few times you get hit), 1MW Beam Laser. with this setup I took on a Imperial Explorer and survived (With 2.3% hull left). Most fun I had for ages.

Due to the fact that the Krait is no longer in production and being canabalised for parts it is quite rare. If you are on the lookout for one you can't go wrong with "Lave" and surrounding systems. The Krait was also a little underpowed for my liking, mainly cause the thruster technology was a bit crap when the Krait was designed.

RATING: 7/10 EQUIPMENT: Military Drive, 1 Shield, 1MW Beam Laser
