What the hell?
The ship that my former colleague Storvik left the Risa system in is a very unpredictable ship. The ion emissions indicate that it is grossly overpowered...but not well balanced. Its speed is completely capable of outrunning the Revenge, but it does not look like its helmsman can steer it very well. It accelerated from Warp 1 to above Warp 9.9 in under 6 seconds on four occasions, but then dropped out of warp entirely shortly thereafter. After the third time this happened, I overshot its previous course and powered down to silent running mode. As I suspected, although it had high warp and fast acceleration capabilities along with its cloaking, its sensors were not spectacular. Diving that deep into subspace was causing the ship to outrun its sensor capacity...which meant that even though it could go fast enough to outrun me, it could not do so without having to "stop and ask for directions" every so often...which would allow me to keep up, and would undoubtedly gall Storvik to no end. I am amused.
