	Fitting this craft with a Morning Star/Flail, Maxim, or other rapid-fire weapon makes it an excellent bomb interceptor, but by FS2, it's a rather outdated design not really as effective as before. It has a large shape if attacked from the top, plus the Kayser isn't usable as said above. However, if you're an escorting scenario, then use it. It's what you need to distract the enemy.

	The Ulysses is a a good enough fighter in FS1, but very specialized--it is good for a dogfight and little else. In FS2 it is completely outclassed by the [[GTF Perseus]] which fulfills its role as a dogfighter but has the payload to be an effective interceptor with the [[GTM Trebuchet]] and the durability to carry out light strike missions.}}

			Has very widely spaced gun points that make hitting smaller fighter-sized targets a pain. On the upside it does have a razor thin profile from behind when oriented at the same plane as other fighters, though it becomes a very easy target to hit if caught in a turn.}}

	''The Ulysses is on par with the Valkyrie. It has a smaller target profile which compensates for the Valkyrie's larger target profile and heavier hull. Its primary guns are better positioned, which compensates for the Valkyrie's superior secondary capacity. The Ulysses is more maneuverable, but the Valkyrie can outrun anything. To ravage through endless waves of hostile fighters with your primary weapons, I suggest the Ulysses. The Valkyrie can, however, do more damage to cruisers if it's [[GTM Fury\|furious]] enough.''

			Even though the Valkyrie does have access to the Banshee and Phoenix V which offers a faster time-to-kill on Shivans in FS1-style scenarios, the Ulysses' stronger shield system affords it longer-term durability and on lower difficulties, can withstand a missile hit that can normally cripple the Valk. In denser scenarios or situations where you may have to occasionally take down something heavier than a fighter while being harangued, I'd pick the Ulysses.
