If only pretty things are worth our money, then why does there exist a market for horror?

The Erlking simply isn't designed for the same purpose as the Asgard. It has far more in common with a galleon or ship of the line from the age of sail, whereas the Asgard has more in common with an egregiously oversized A10.

Don't forget, in addition to it's turrets, the Erlking also has a cargo capacity that surpasses even that of a Shuyaku. It has the capacity, and firepower, to deliver whatever it wants, to whoever it wants, wherever it wants, regardless of what anyone else has to say about it.

Or, in the hands of one more inclined to piracy, no cargo is safe.

Erlking use ? Best pirating ship ever! It literally is made for it!

.The frontal weapon is precise and not too powerful so you can disable L/XL componants accurately while not destroying the rest of the ship with it.
.It is very fast for catching up to any kind of ships very easily even if they are in travel mode.
.Its storage is so large you can steal anything from any large ships, or even small stations.
. ~300 crews place, so you can board anything with them, if they are motivated :D
.And if the ship you want to capture has an escort or drones, the turrets cancels them very easilly.

Really, I'm stopping to use a nemesis for capturing large ships now and will only use this one.

I second that, this is best ever pirate ship, it has crew complement of 328 which is subpar only to Asgard (360), and cruising speed 191m/s (modded 472 m/s), perfect for any boarding or fly-by-boarding. I like how captain chair's is positioned on top of the other work stations ;) This ship begs for flying it IS.

According to the lore the ship was designed by "Raker engineers", powered mainly by scraps of cold pizza, until they were transferred to something else. (Boron DLC? X-22?) The lead engineer did sound like Boron. Was she "Fan Service"? :roll:
