From what is hinted for the specs, like 1 L shield, 1 L engine, I think combat wise, it will be something like a cooler looking Rattlesnake. And like the Rattlesnake, will most likely be a cool ship to fly yourself, not so cool under AI control. It remain to be seen what speed its only engine will generate, I imagine something like 400 - 450 m/s unmodded maybe, and what firepower it would have, will we be able to take out a xenon K with it, like the rest of the destroyers are...
Increased missile capacity for its turrets...don't know how helpful that will be, I find supplying missiles for destroyers to be too much of a chore, as I tend use mass equip for that, and L ships don't have instant travel drive (except for boron) and can't use highways like S/M ships, to make a speedy trip to the closest EQ/shipyard...
