The Stratios model was recently finished and skinned on The Singularity server and a youtube video has been made detailing the beauty of this ship.
The Stratios Cruiser is one of the new Sisters of Eve ships that has sparked much dispute in the New eden community, for a good reason, currently the ship has the following stats:

Targeting (max targeting range / Scan Resolution / Max Locked targets): 55km / 275 / 7

Many people are concerned that this ship has the drone capabilities of a battleship, the sig radius of a cruiser, the align time of a frigate and it can fit a covert ops cloak (allowing it to warp while cloaked) some people have called this ship “absurd”.
CCP have stated that they have designed this ship for exploration but with a possible setup like this one there are fears this ship could become a gate campers’ dream come true. Many players have compared the Stratios cruiser to that of a cloaky Proteus, but unlike the Proteus this cruiser will not lose the pilot precious skill points on death and most likely will be alot cheaper then a fully fitted t3 cruiser making it potentially the new choice for Wormhole gangs.
Many players have called for CCP to re-balance the ship due to their opinions of it being overpowered, so what about your thought? is the ship overpowered in your opinion? why? or would this perhaps create a new dynamic for small gang pvp?
