Moth is a tier 5 patrol ship used by the Fringe Systems Resistance.
This ship can be dangerous if fought improperly, but is relatively easy if you can exploit its obvious weaknesses. In particular, a disruptor will make it very easy to destroy this ship as it has very little armor in front of its reactor. Without a disruptor, your options are more limited - you can disarm it first and then go for the kill. or attempt to force your way through its reactor anyways. Moth's four cannons and two HE launchers can pose a significant threat if you can't quickly kill it, but it lacks disruptors and uses only weak ballistics - shields and point defense will be extremely effective defenses.
While it's not really feasible to snipe Moth's cockpit unless you have an early second ship, Moth's weapons are far enough away from its reactor to always survive the blast if you don't destroy them - this ship is an especially lucrative kill for players relying on ballistics as you can easily preserve its stores of ammo and HE missile parts.
