Odachi worth using with its single shield gen?

[Damian Swift]

Love the look and feel of the ship but with its single mark1 shield i feel makes it useless to use?

is it better with mods, and if so, which mod should i apply to the shield?

In turn, My Opinion.
They are great, They MOP up small targets like no tomorrow with the Electromagnetic Cannons
Mediums 1v1 it does Alright, But it being an old style ship meant for fleets actions.
It Absolutely overpowers small or even medium fighting forces in decent groups.
Not to mention Mods for the ships/ Fire Rate / Shield recharge + Delay / Weapon Mods to improve fire rate and Damage.. It MELTS when improved.
3-4 can handle L Class pretty well without fighters bugging them and a decent pilot not killing themselves against the surface.

My current fleet has 34 Odachis / 7 Sapporos / 1 Raptor / 87 Cutless [that barely get screen time.]
Small and Medium crafts can't do a thing cause they get melted by the weapons to quickly.

Update-
Just had a large battle with the Boron.
4 Ray's [L Destroyer]
1 Shark [XL Carrier]
2 Guppies [L Carrier]
Unknown amounts of S/Mediums.
Roughly 150...
Fleet took a beating, but! Happy to announces.
Casualties be, 69 Cutless and 9 Odachis.
Raptor tore through the fleet.
