	However, the Basilisk is both slow and ungainly. Between its lack of maneuverability and an afterburner that the AI seems to never use, the Basilisk resembles a heavily shielded target drone (that you should nevertheless refrain from going head-to-head with).

	''I actually find this and the Aeshma hard to hit, for some strange reason. They are at the same time slower than a bomber and as agile as a fighter to me.

			''Easy to kill, but do get their attention or squash them quickly - sustained Hornet fire will easily destroy any freighter and certainly an Aten or Fenris, and remember, Hornet barrages can't be stopped like Tsunamis or Cyclopses. The Aeolus, Leviathan, and Mentu have relatively decent anti-fighter weaponry but will still be overwhelmed in the long run. Basilisks are functionally useless against destroyers - best to ignore them if seen and instead focus on capships or bombers.''}}

	The Basilisk is in fact, the most heavily shielded fighter in [[Portal:FreeSpace 1\|FreeSpace 1]], that really doesn't matter, however, because of its horrible maneuverability and large target profile.''

	''To be honest: junk. The design is easy to shatter with most fighters and some bombers, and by FS2, later designs with 2 Kaysers, a Maxim and Circe, or 2 Prometheus cannons will make short work of these. They are rather slow and cumbersome, so if you don't want to close in on them, then blast them with a double Tornado or Trebuchet.


	''This fighter exists for one reason and one reason only: to pummel mission-critical transports like the [[Argo]] into scrap. At this task it excels, as they are usually deployed in groups of four to six, and can launch a storm of Hornets unless shot up beforehand. Otherwise, these things are cannon fodder and are easily dispatched.}}
