Advantages

The Curetes is the only ship in any universe which has no rapid fire vulnerability It also has a remarkably high shield rating for a vehicle of it's cost, and has the highest shield rating of all cruisers; higher even than the Prometheus class. Additionally, as most of the resource cost is in hydrogen, most of the fighting power of the curetes is destroyed in battle, leaving a small, and unrewarding debris field. For these reasons, in Starfleet Commander Nova, the Curetes class is more effective than the Apollo or Hades for purposes of defending a point target, such as a mining world which cannot yet produce it's own defenses, or a Hephaestus class attack platform. The Curetes also travels at approximately the same speed as the Artemis class, Apollo class, Athena class, and Hades class.

Disadvantages

The Curetes does not have significant firepower. With an attack rating of 100, it is less powerful than an apollo class fighter, and due to the ineffectiveness rule, it cannot deal any damage to a Zeus or a Large Decoy. It also lacks any significant rapid fire capabilities, being able to deal only 5 rapid fire against Charon, Helios, or Hermes. It also fares somewhat poorly in battle against a full compliment of defenses.
