A technologically advanced frigate with an efficient shield generator and an impressive weapons package that allows it to punch far above its weight. These same characteristics mean its frigate-grade power core struggles to keep up, making careful flux management a priority.

Ships that would be decommissioned in quieter times now see widespread use throughout the Sector. The hull designation for such ships is usually tagged with a "D", for "damaged" or "defective".

Two very different opinions on the effectiveness of the Wolf:
The Wolf provides a well-balanced, effective weapons
platform in an affordable package. The Phase Skimmer is key to using the Wolf
effectively; an extremely versatile system, the Skimmer can be used to evade
weapons fire, setup a better attack angle, or just move around the map. Thanks
to the Skimmer - and the Wolf's otherwise fragile hull - the ship works best in
a "hit and run" role against small and large targets alike. The Wolf is an extremely forgiving ship and therefore
exceptional for novice players. The ship's ability allows it not only
aggressive movement potential, but also to escape from a sticky situation at a
moment's notice should the player overextend. It is also a fast enough ship to
catch up to most targets and still packs a punch in combat, making it a good
ship for early-game bounty hunting.

Thanks to the Skimmer - and the Wolf's otherwise fragile hull - the ship works best in a "hit and run" role against small and large targets alike. It works best in a "Wolf Pack", as it lacks the DPS to kill any but the weakest enemy in a reasonable time frame. The Wolf is only forgiving for an advanced pilot, and is a very bad choice for novice players. Its reliance on a complex system that lowers shields on use, and paper thin armor means that a single mistake is often fatal. The ship's poor DPS vs shields makes it a bad choice for player piloting, as it will struggle to kill even the weakest shielded enemy ships.
The Wolf is fast enough that its phase skimmer system can be used to "joust" against targets. This involves approaching the target at high speed, locking it in as primary target and activating the phase skimmer just before colliding. This will cause the Wolf to teleport forward based on its momentum which can carry it to the other side of the target. If a target is locked in then it will also re-orientate itself post-teleport to face the target. Highly effective against small or thin target profiles, particularly front shielded targets
