[edit] Overview

The Arbitrator Class Strikeship (or short "Arbi") is a staple of most any UEA fleet due to its hyperjumping capabilites and great attack/evasive bonuses. It is a relatively cheap hull and while it has low shields and armor they can be a great weapon to disable ships to capture them when combined with ships that have an Incarceration Beam. During the early game they are also very effective at 'claiming' native worlds by setting up small bases quicker than any other ships you can get there.
A major problem of the Arbitrator is its rather small ord load that prevents a full load of Photon Torpedo Tubes which would be perfect when looking at the attack bonus. Also the Arbitrator has a low Hull Mass which makes it vulnerable vs. minefields and large wings.
