An old but reliable defensive fighter model, the noteworthy canister flak system is effective against both incoming missile swarms and the lightly armored hulls of enemy fighters. Twin light autocannons round up combat potential, making larger enemy ships think twice before attacking the Sarissa's mothership.
–In-Game Description
Like Xyphos, the Sarissa is a defensive fighter, incapable of separating from the carrier. Unlike the Xyphos it takes on a more active role serving as a semi-reliable source of kinetic damage in addition to obliteraing anything that comes close with its Canister Flak system.
Note that while two Light Autocannons per craft may seem impressive, the Sarissa's abysmal flux stats mean it can fire them continuously only for little over one second; after that the fire rate(and therefore anti-shield DPS) drops to about 62% of advertised.
Only up to date for version 0.96a. It is likely still broadly correct but not verified for the most up to date data yet. Please double check the Version History.
