Very hard to kill early game, so it is a great deterrent from destroying stations. However, once the player gets to acquire level 7 tech, they can have a chance at taking one of these down. The cruiser also leaves when its shield is down, so make sure to follow it and take it down before its shields recharge. Also, ICX missile defense turret type weapons won't stand a chance at stopping the full barrage of gotha-10's, as the rate of fire is too fast.

Kate Morgental apprears in one at Rigel Aurelius before showing up in a Corporate Explorer at Heretic.
