== Description ==
The '''Arrow '''is a small cruiser that features a sizeable heavy weapons system mounted underneath the cockpit alongside flaks and a laser. The ship is an effective hull breaker and works best in swarms.
The '''Arrow '''is a small cruiser that features many small and tiny [[Turrets]] as well as decent [[Spinals]]. The '''Arrow''' is balanced between [[Hull]] and [[Shields|Shield]] damage. The '''Arrow''' also gets about half it's damage from [[Turrets]], which is very unusual for a [[:Category:Frigate|Frigate]].
