Is the Aegis Worth It?
Yes, as a mid-game upgrade. Strong hull and shields plus three weapon types make it forgiving in fights. The engine is only average, so it can struggle to chase fast ships. Many players buy it, then upgrade the engine in the Ship Builder. If credits are tight, our credits farming guide covers the fastest methods.
