Why one of them is OP and the other one is not?
well if you got to ask, you might rethink what makes you think its not, and why you keep reiterating your comparison with the phase suppressor so religiously. i would still take a rf blaster for the same targets you tested, anyway.
the only reason it may not be called op is that covert ops in general die relatively easy to many counters. since adaptive nerf, they just have bad tanking options, and passive slowing auras nerfed the speed fight doctrine in total. note that in the time of thermal op blaster, the covert ops enjoyed a niche for example, as it could counter a loki effectively, simply by sneaking up and delivering damage fast. it was still underpowered however in the big picture, and has to get used to the spawn screen, or keep out of battle a lot.
the projectile speed is fast enough, there is no reason to mention it as a negative. yes you might be outplayed in a duel, even by a shrapnel. but its not that big of an issue to hit (and even kill houdini-taikins)
in the current meta where you got lots of damage sources, the alpha of the weapon is the deadly part, its not the overall dps, otherwise we would be complaining about the front blaster and its 4k dps.

I’m sure they’ll nerf it soon. Just waiting for more people to buy it
probably, yeah. i hope they find a good nerf which doesnt cripple the ship, as its mechanics look promising.
but if they support each other, and even get wazgot warp-away-defense its just fighting against a never ending shieldwall.

the NY18 has some pretty big weakpoints, firstly, it’s pretty vulnerable without its teammates
lol, this is true for every ship. but to be honest, its not like it dies so ultra fast and easy on its own, even amongst guards, its pretty strong.
however we were talking about the synergy they have together. and its not just hating on it, so no need to defend it, if you like the ship. i have nothing personally against it.
