Engi A is good for newbies who don't yet understand the principle of salvo firing. The ion blast on autofire plus the combat drone just work with no tactical skill needed. These players are going to lose in sector 6 to an autoscout with three shields and cloaking, but they don't realize that the failure point was the unreliable ion setup, and hey the Engi got them farther than the Kestrel did, therefore it's a good ship. My very first win way back when was with Engi A.
