The Shield Buster is a first for what MSI wanted. It is simple. One massive cannon meant for long distance bombardment, firing off a Heavy Electromagnetic Pulse, which is known for being incredibly powerful as a base canon. As is it was improved upon, making to do more than it already did. Plus there is the inclusion of CSR Missiles which are perfect for destroying bunkers, other ships should it breech a hull, and even clear paths in the battlefield.
However, with its usefullness as a weapon, it also comes with blistering speed. In straight lines though. It is meant to be pointed in a direction, told to go, stop within range, fire a few shots, then back out. Rinse repeat.
Another note is the less than stellar defenses. This thing should not be treated as a sole warrior. Rather it should have a defensive follow squadron, to help maintain ita usefullness.
