Because of this, it can effectively be played in this way to both assist in taking down larger targets from in their blind spots (usually below or behind) and to take on duels with same or lower tier ships that are caught trying to sneak around the edges of the map or through debris, while using map obstacles in its favor to minimize incoming fire. The rapier has sufficient firepower to absolutely melt lower tier ships with ease, and although its maneuverability isn't the best, it is certainly fast. Another, more engaging way to play the Rapier is as a silent hunter, using map obstacles to block enemy fire on approach. Therefore, the Rapier Frigate is best played as a sort of escort to larger capitals, helping take down larger targets while having the larger ship tank. The Rapier Frigate handles more like a light cruiser and feels like a stat padded Munificent The Rapier's mobility also isn't the best, and it certainly wont be dodging decently aimed shots anytime soon.

Similarly to the Munificent, the Rapier Frigate has a low HP pool, but a high damage output. However, when commanded by tactical droids or the infamous General Grievous it became a formidable light warship capable of using its considerably large armament to stand its ground against the Republic's Venator Class Star Destroyer for some time or heavily assisting in one's destruction when in a battle formation. Manufactured in great numbers by the Commerce Guild and incorporated into the CIS Navy at the start of the Clone Wars, the Recusant was initially operated mostly by droid brains which gave it a nasty habit of colliding into other ships. The Venator II-class would serve along side the Victory Star Destroyer in the early days of. The upgraded class of vessel included a new reactor, improved hull armor, a central hanger door, improved thrusters, and a reconfigured hanger to allow for more fighters or equipment. It roughly resembles the Vindicator-class Heavy Cruiser in shape and size, and has a small, slim bridge-section quite like the Acclamator-class Assault Ship. The Rapier Frigate is a Tier II Separatist capital ship from the Star Wars tech tree. The vessel was the successor of the Venator I-class Star Destroyer. The Victory-class Frigate Mark II is a sword-shaped Imperial warship with a design reminicent of large command ships, due to the large wing-like extension on each side of the ship's rear, as well as its slim outline.
