Why do people say this ship's bad?

It has a more balanced spinal set than the Ridge. It has more spinals than the Cyclops. It can defend itself unlike the Apoc. It can outrange the base more effectively than the Zeus. etc etc.

The only other dread on this level is maybe the Leviathan, since it's got a wide range of turrets and a good spinal to go along with it.
