Strengths:

• Escort craft - Able to protect whatever they are escorting with both its defenses and its offenses
• Cargo Space - Unlike other droid gunships, the ZY3-MCD has room for storage in its main hold
  ​This is very small though, and can only typically hold about 3 average human sized beings

Weaknesses:

• Shutting down - Must be connected to a central control computer to operate. If its disabled, they'll be rendered useless
• Vulnerable - The DMPCA provides a useful defensive option for other craft but leaves the craft vulnerable to attack
• Slow - Unlike other gunships of similar size, the ZY3-MCD is slow, sacrificing this for better defenses

Description: The ZY3-MCD is the third droid starship produced by IMF, and bolsters similar features to other products in the line. The most notable and iconic being that it requires a central control computer to operate, cutting costs in implementing independent AI for each craft. It certainly fills its designed purpose, but has several flaws because of this, the most notable being its comparatively slow speed and average weaponry.

The droid relies on several optic view cameras mounted on the outside of the ship for its vision, and any passengers inside will be left essentially 'blind' due to there being no view ports, except whenever the retractable door is opened.
